Binance has announced that it will support network upgrades and hard fork processes on the Polygon (POL) network. According to a statement from the exchange, token deposit and withdrawal operations on the Polygon network will be temporarily suspended on March 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
The planned network upgrade and hard fork will occur at block height 83,756,500, or approximately 5:00 PM on March 4, 2026. Binance stated that it has decided to suspend deposit and withdrawal transactions during this process to protect the user experience and ensure a smooth technology transition.
The statement specifically emphasized that trading of tokens on the Polygon network will not be affected by this process. Users can continue trading their tokens on Binance’s spot market. However, transfer transactions on the network will remain closed until the upgrade is complete and the network is deemed stable.
Binance said that all technical requirements will be met by the platform on behalf of users. Deposit and withdrawal operations will resume once the upgraded network is confirmed to be stable. It was also stated that no further announcements would be made regarding this process.
Network upgrades and hard forks are commonly implemented in the cryptocurrency market to improve performance, provide security updates, or introduce new features.
