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:
