Scheduled Temporary Downtime for 7 July (Testnet) and 14 July (Mainnet) for Upgrades to Database

As we continue to enhance the BitMEX platform for our users, we will be facilitating a minor upgrade to our database that will temporarily halt trading in our Testnet environment on Thursday, 7 July at 01:00 UTC, and our production (Mainnet) environment on Thursday, 14 July at 01:00 UTC.

The system will continue in cancel-only mode from 01:00 UTC until 01:05 UTC in both cases before the upgrade takes place; during this time cancel order requests will be processed. From 01:05 UTC, any order actions will be rejected. Deposits made during the whole period will be queued for processing.

In both instances, the system is expected to be online again in cancel-only mode from approximately 01:30 UTC. Continuous trading will recommence from approximately 01:35 UTC.

From the halt of trading until continuous trading resumes, there will be no Mark Price updates and hence no liquidations.

Please see the below table for a summary:

While this is a minor upgrade, the process may take longer depending on a number of factors. During the upgrade, relevant updates will be shared on our status page.
