Binance will suspend VANA deposits and withdrawals on September 21, 2026 to support the Vana network upgrade and hard fork.
Tech & Launches ·
Binance will suspend deposits and withdrawals of VANA tokens starting September 21, 2026 at approximately 11:29 UTC to facilitate the Vana network upgrade and hard fork. The exchange cited the measure as necessary to ensure optimal user experience during the protocol transition.
Network upgrades requiring coordinated exchange suspension typically involve consensus-layer changes or state restructuring that would render transactions on the old chain invalid. By halting on-chain activity at a synchronized time, exchanges prevent users from sending funds to addresses mid-transition and avoid reconciliation mismatches between the network and custodial balances.
No details have been disclosed about the scope of changes in the upgrade, the expected duration of the suspension, or whether other exchanges plan similar service halts during the same window.
