Our upgrade is nearing a successful completion and the Bitfinex platform will be returning in view-only mode within the next 5 minutes before trading opens at 15:10 UTC. Thank you for your patience.

On Wednesday June 26, both Bitfinex and Ethfinex will be offline for up to seven hours, from 8.45 AM UTC onwards, as we commence a platform upgrade designed to enhance the stability and scalability of the iFinex matching engine. The platform upgrade will require taking all iFinex trading platforms offline for the duration of the maintenance period. This means that traders across both Bitfinex and Ethfinex will be unable to trade, view or access their wallets during the update.

Full functionality has resumed.

Thank you all for your patience today. Bitfinex will open at 10:30AM UTC as view only, and trading will restart at 10:35AM UTC.

We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

The issue has been located and is being resolved as quickly as possible. We will confirm when full platform functionality has resumed.

Bitfinex is currently not accessible, our admins are currently looking into this. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

We are back online and ready to trade. We apologise for the false start - all funds remain unaffected.

We're going back into maintenance before reopening markets. We'll keep you informed with further updates and will be live soon.

Our data migration is now complete. Bitfinex is live and will be fully open for trading in 5 minutes time. Thank you all for your patience - we are proud to provide you with an even higher-quality trading experience. https://medium.com/bitfinex/bitfinex-and-ethfinex-successfully-migrated-to-dedicated-bare-metal-servers-8a5053a630da

Our data migration is nearing a successful completion and the Bitfinex platform will be returning in view-only mode within the next 5 minutes, before trading opens at 17:15 UTC. Thank you for your patience.

We are pleased to report that the data migration is progressing well and we are currently on schedule to be back online before 5PM UTC.

As of 10:00 UTC today, Bitfinex has been taken offline to complete the last stage of the planned upgrade from AWS cloud to a self-designed infrastructure optimised to high volume trading. For a period of up to seven hours Bitfinex account holders will be unable to trade or access their wallets, or gain access to any features on the platform. We thank you for your patience and understanding and look forward to sharing our upgraded platform with you as soon as possible.

This incident has been resolved.

We are currently investigating this issue and will update accordingly as soon as possible.

The platform is back to normal operations

Our planned upgrade has completed and all functions are once again live. Thank you for your patience.

The maintenance is near completion. Final tests are being executed. We aim to have the platform return to normal operations at 10:45 AM UTC.

Planned maintenance has started. To stay informed throughout the maintenance period, please refer to bitfinex.statuspage.io.

Starting at 08:30 AM UTC, Bitfinex and Ethfinex will be undertaking planned infrastructure maintenance. Traders should expect a service interruption of roughly 2 hours while this maintenance is being performed. During the maintenance, all trading and financing markets will be unavailable and no deposits or withdrawals will be processed. Users will be unable to control, edit or cancel their active orders and active positions throughout the maintenance period. Users who wish to not be affected by potential price movements on other platforms once Bitfinex reopens *must* take action by cancelling orders and closing positions before the update begins. To stay informed throughout the maintenance period, please refer to bitfinex.statuspage.io. Thank you,

The platform is back to normal operations.

The platform is back to normal operations. We will keep monitoring closely.

We are close to be able to reopen trading. Please stand by.

Our matching engine server was restarted by our hosting provider without notice. We are in the process of restarting the server and returning the platform to normal operations. We expect this process to take at least 30 more minutes. Apologies for any inconvenience.

The platform is encountering connectivity issues with one of the servers. As a precaution we had to suspend trading temporarily. We are working hard to have the platform return to normal operations as soon as possible. We will post updates on the situation on https://bitfinex.statuspage.io and on https://twitter.com/bitfinex

Approximately 8 hours ago we blocked a denial of service attack that caused an outage for 12 minutes between 8:13 and 8:25 UTC.

The issue has been identified and resolved, apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Platform back online, monitoring closely.

We are investigating the cause.

Bitfinex experienced connectivity issues for some users over the last 15 minutes due to a network traffic routing problem. The issue has now been resolved. Apologies for any inconvenience this caused.

The platform is back to normal operations.

The platform is returning to normal operations. We will keep monitoring the situation closely.

We are finishing the steps to restart operations. We expect we can return to normal operations within the next 15 minutes. Please stand by.

The cause of the outage has been identified. A DDoS attack was launched soon after we restarted operations. The previous outage was caused by issues with one of our infrastructure providers. While the platform was recovering, the attack caused extreme load on the servers. We are adjusting the DDoS protection measures to fend off the attack and be able to relaunch. Currently we are running tests to make sure we can safely restart operations. As soon as we have a clearer ETA on when operations will restart we will report.

The platform is under extreme load. We are investigating. Seems a DDoS attack was launched soon after we relaunched the platform.

The platform is back to normal operations. The cause of the outage was an issue with our infrastructure provider. This has been addressed.

The platform is back online. The cause of the issues was with our infrastructure provider. We will closely monitor the platform. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We are close to relaunch, we expect within the next few minutes

Bringing back the platform back online is taking longer than expected. We are running tests in order to safely resume normal operations. If no issues are detected, relaunch can be within the next minutes, it can take longer if we do encounter unexpected outcomes of the tests. We fully understand users wish to receive a clearer ETA, but at this point, we cannot be more specific. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue. We are close to being able to relaunch the platform. The admins are running checks to be able to resume normal operations shortly

The cause of the platform outage has been identified. The platform admins are addressing the issue as we speak and will bring the platform back online as soon as possible.

The platform is experiencing issues in the trading engine, our admins are aware and are working on bringing the platform back to normal operations. We will publish updates on https://bitfinex.statuspage.io and on https://twitter.com/bitfinex to keep users updated.

The platform has returned to normal operations. Thank you for your patience.

Maintenance is taking longer than expected. We expect the platform will be unavailable for approximately 30 more minutes.

Bitfinex is currently undergoing planned platform maintenance and will be unavailable for approximately 60 minutes. During maintenance trading and funding features will be unavailable. Users can stay up to date via https://twitter.com/bitfinex/ and https://bitfinex.statuspage.io throughout the upgrade. Thank you for your patience.

The platform has returned to normal operations. Thank you for your patience.

Unfortunately, the maintenance is taking longer than anticipated. We expect to have the platform online again in about one hour. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Bitfinex is currently undergoing planned platform maintenance and will be unavailable for the next 2 hours. Please monitor https://bitfinex.statuspage.io and https://twitter.com/bitfinex for updates. Why do you need to take Bitfinex offline? The vast majority of all maintenance and updates are executed without the need to suspend trading. Unfortunately, there are occasions where we need to roll out updates that require the platform to be suspended. We actively try to minimise this; unfortunately once or twice per year, an update requires the platform to be paused. Why are you executing maintenance while the markets are active? Crypto markets are active all day, every day, all year. Regardless of what hour of the day we choose to perform upgrades, the markets will be active. Unlike traditional markets, we are not given the luxury of daily breaks that would allow us to roll out updates without suspending trading. There is no perfect moment to execute an update like this. What is so important that it justifies needing to suspend trading for up to 2 hours? Today we are rolling out major optimisations to our trading engine. These changes will result in being able to better cope with platform load during volatile markets. Furthermore, these changes lay the foundation for future scalability as the crypto markets continue to grow. We will publish more details on the improvements later this week. What benefits will users see from this? Today's update will bring about a number of engine performance improvements, including improved scalability and reduced latency. In addition to this, it will lay the core foundation for all future platform improvements.

Progress is being made to mitigate the denial of service attack. One component of the denial of service attack is to create hundreds of thousands of new accounts, causing stress on the infrastructure. For that reason, please note that new user signups have been temporarily disabled to help defend against the attackers and improve platform service for existing customers.

Some services returning online with reduced performance. Continuing work to mitigate the attack.
