Identified
UPDATE: Maintenance Mode Ending at 16:25 UTC
We have identified the root cause of the issue that caused connectivity problems in our systems, and we have implemented a fix. Our platform will go back online at approximately 16:25 UTC, initially via cancel-only mode. Trading will resume at approximately 16:30 UTC.
We remind our users that all funds have remained safe at all times and that our Support team will be reaching out individually to users who we can determine have been actively impacted by this situation once the issue has been rectified. Until continuous trading resumes, there will still be no Mark Price updates and hence no liquidations.
If you have any further questions, please contact Support.
