DUBAI, UAE, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OKX, a leading crypto exchange and Web3 technology company, has issued updates for March 13, 2024.

OKX to Support Ethereum Dencun Mainnet Upgrade

OKX will be supporting the forthcoming Ethereum network's Dencun mainnet upgrade. The network upgrade and consequential hard fork are scheduled to occur approximately at 1:55 PM UTC on March 13, 2024. In light of this, OKX will suspend deposits and withdrawals of all tokens belonging to the Ethereum network, including ETH, Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), zkSync Era, Base Protocol (BASE), Starknet (STRK), Linea (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), Metis (METIS), and MXC (MXC) networks, starting at 1:20 PM UTC on the same day.

OKX assures that trading of the mentioned tokens and tokens belonging to their networks will not be affected during this network upgrade. Once the upgraded ETH network is stable, OKX will resume deposits and withdrawals for these tokens. OKX will handle all technical requirements involved, so users holding any of the mentioned tokens and tokens belonging to their networks in their account don't need to take any action.

As a long-awaited part of "The Surge" in Ethereum's roadmap, the Ethereum Dencun upgrade tackles the network's scalability challenges. These challenges include bottlenecks in transaction throughput and data management. Like the Merge and Ethereum Shanghai upgrades that came before, the Dencun upgrade introduces various EIPs, with EIP-4844 being the most notable.
