Bybit announced support for Cosmos (ATOM) v28.0.0 network upgrade.
Tech & Launches ·
Bybit announced support for the Cosmos (ATOM) v28.0.0 network upgrade, scheduled for approximately 2:00 PM UTC on September 2, 2026, or at block height 32,785,900. To prepare for the transition, the exchange will suspend deposits and withdrawals on the Cosmos network beginning at 1:30 PM UTC that day, while trading activity will remain unaffected.
The temporary halt in deposit and withdrawal services is a standard precaution during network upgrades to prevent transaction processing errors during consensus changes. Bybit stated that no separate announcement will be issued when services resume; users can instead set alerts directly on the platform's deposit or withdrawal pages to be notified of restoration.
The specific timing and block height indicate coordination with the broader Cosmos validator set and network operators preparing for the upgrade. Users seeking additional technical details about the upgrade mechanics can reference the official Cosmos release notes, though the exchange's announcement does not specify what functional changes v28.0.0 introduces.
