Dear Users, The current estimated time for the Ethereum Merge is 2022-09-15 06:00 (UTC). Deposits and withdrawals for the Ethereum network (ERC-20) will be suspended 1.5 hours before the Merge happens, approximately starting from 2022-09-15 04:30 (UTC). This is an estimated time and subject to change, depending on when the Terminal Total Difficulty Value of 58750000000000000000000 is reached.   In the event of a chain split, the Ethereum Proof-of-Work (PoW) Mainnet and its forked token would assume the “ETHW” ticker. If the ETHW chain persists, MEXC will handle all technical requirements involved for all users holding ETH in their MEXC accounts, and credit the forked token (ETHW) to eligible users’ accounts at a 1:1 ratio. Further details regarding this distribution will be provided in a separate announcement.   Please note: MEXC will credit to users’ accounts the forked token at a ratio of 1:1, based on the snapshot of ETH balances before the Paris execution layer upgrade (approximately at ETH mainnet block height of 15,540,293, or 2022-09-15 04:30 UTC. This is an estimated time and subject to change). For users who have exchanged ETH with ETHS and ETHW on MEXC, we will not airdrop ETHW tokens to them. MEXC will take the following additional measures prior to the Merge: Starting from 2022-09-15 at 04:30 (UTC), deposits and withdrawals for ETH, ERC 20 tokens, and tokens based on the chain of ARB, MATIC, OP, OG, PMG, METIS, and KUB will be suspended (This is an estimated time and subject to change). Any deposits of ETH, ERC 20 tokens, and tokens based on the chain of ARB, MATIC, OP, OG, PMG, METIS, and KUB during this period will not be credited to users’ MEXC accounts, and users will not be eligible for any distribution of the forked token in the event of a chain split. We will reopen deposits and withdrawals after the Merge is complete and the network is stable, and notify users in a further announcement.

Dear Users, With the upcoming of ETH 2.0 Merge Upgrade, MEXC will close the exchange channel for ETH, ETHS and ETHW at 2022-09-12 12:00 (UTC). For users who still hold ETHS and ETHW after the closing of the exchange channel, the arrangements will be as follows: If the ETH 2.0 upgrade ends up with more than one chain, ETHS will be automatically converted into the upgraded ETH at a 1:1 ratio and ETHW will be upgraded to airdropped candy tokens (Users holding ETHS and ETHW will not receive airdrops of new forked tokens repeatedly).If ETH 2.0 upgrade is completed without a fork, ETHS and ETHW will be converted into the upgraded ETH at a certain ratio. The specific plan will be announced in a further announcement.

Dear Users, Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) chain will migrate to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chain upon hitting the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) value of 58750000000000000000000. The execution layer upgrade (Paris) is expected to take place between 2022-09-10 and 2022-09-20. Current estimation lies at the ETH mainnet block height of 15,540,293, or approximately at 2022-09-15 00:30 (UTC).   Prior to this, the consensus layer upgrade (Bellatrix) is scheduled for epoch 144,896 on the Beacon Chain at 2022-09-06 11:34:47 (UTC).   As a new token might be created during a hard fork, MEXC has taken the following steps to reduce the trading risks brought about by price volatility and to maintain the safety of user funds during the hard fork: 1. ETH Deposits & Withdrawals MEXC will suspend deposits and withdrawals for ETH and ERC-20 tokens from 2022-09-06 11:00:00 UTC (the consensus layer upgrade) till further notice.Please spare a sufficient time buffer for your deposits and withdrawals of the affected tokens, which should be scheduled before the said time. We will publish another notice to let you know whether the deposit and withdrawal services would be affected by the Paris upgrade. 2. Regarding the Merge The two likely scenarios to occur with the Ethereum (ETH) Merge are: Scenario A: No new token is created. MEXC will then reopen deposits and withdrawals for ETH and ERC-20 tokens as soon as possible. A further announcement will be released. Scenario B: The chain splits into two competing chains and a new token is created. The “ETH” ticker will be used for the Ethereum PoS chain. We will then credit to users’ MEXC accounts the forked token from the minority chain at a ratio of 1:1, based on the snapshot of ETH balances before the Paris execution layer upgrade (approximately at ETH mainnet block height of 15,540,293, or 2022-09-15 00:30 (UTC)). Withdrawals for the forked token will be supported. Further details regarding this distribution will be stated in a separate announcement.MEXC reserves the right to update the treatment of the chain split in a further announcement.MEXC will not distribute forked tokens to users who have swapped ETH into ETHS & ETHW on MEXC. For details, please refer to: MEXC Supports Ethereum (ETH) 2.0 Upgrade & Lists Potential Hard Fork Tokens 3. ETH and ERC-20 Tokens Spot & Margin Trading Spot trading: Spot trading for ETH and ERC-20 tokens will not be affected. Please ensure you take sufficient risk measures as price volatility is often high during contentious hard forks.   Margin trading: MEXC will suspend ETH margin borrowing service with the following timeline (ETH margin trading will be unaffected): At 2022-09-10 00:00 (UTC), MEXC will suspend ETH isolated margin borrowing. Please repay your borrowings in time. At 2022-09-12 00:00 (UTC), MEXC will close all ETH margin positions, conduct an automatic settlement and cancel all pending ETH margin orders.At 2022-09-16 00:00 (UTC), MEXC will reopen ETH isolated margin borrowing. A further announcement will then be released. Please note that liquidations remain possible under extreme price volatility. MEXC reserves the right to update the suspension time of ETH cross and isolated margin borrowing and adjust the borrowing interest rates for ETH, with or without prior notice.   4. ETH Futures Trading The trading of USDⓈ-M and COIN-M ETH Futures Contracts will continue unaffected. MEXC Futures will undertake additional protective measures, which include but not limited to: Adjusting risk limit tiers including maximum leverage value, position value and maintenance margin in each tier. Updating the funding rates including the interest rate, premium, capped funding rate and settlement frequency. Changing the constituents of the price index. 5. ETH and ERC-20 Tokens ETF TradingETF trading for ETH and ERC-20 tokens will not be affected.   6. Regarding BETH If a new token is created by the hard fork, it remains to be determined by the new chain whether BETH holders will receive forked tokens from the new chain. We will keep you posted.Though the existing subscription orders for ETH 2.0 Staking are not affected, new subscription applications will not be accepted during the period from 2022-09-14 00:00 (UTC) to 2022-09-16 00:00 (UTC).   Please note: Uncredited ETH deposits, and pending ETH withdrawals will not count toward the snapshot of users’ ETH balances before the Paris execution layer upgrade.This snapshot includes the total net ETH balances across Spot, Funding, Margin, Futures and Earn wallets. Any new tokens resulting from the hard fork will be credited to eligible users’ accounts. Regarding the staked ETH on MEXC, if a new token is created, MEXC will decide whether to airdrop new tokens according to the actual on-chain staking situation. A separate announcement will then be released.A further announcement will be made regarding the timing for the resumption of deposits and withdrawals, as well as further information about the potential ETH chain split that may affect the above information. The Paris execution layer upgrade is estimated to take place at the ETH mainnet block height of 15,540,293. The estimated time is for users’ reference only and is subject to change depending on block propagation times.

Dear Users, Ethereum 2.0's Merge upgrade is scheduled to take place in September 2022. MEXC will support Ethereum's upgrade and its potential hard fork. If successful, two parallel blockchains could be created after the upgrade. All ETH holders on MEXC will receive the forked assets at a 1:1 ratio when the upgrade is completed.   What is Ethereum 2.0 (ETH 2.0)>>> How to Conduct Asset Exchange between ETH, ETHS and ETHW (Web & App)>>>   To mitigate the risks caused by market volatility during the hard fork and safeguard users' assets, MEXC will list two "potential forked" ETH tokens and the associated markets with the following arrangements:   1. Prior to the upgrade, ETH holders on MEXC can go to the swap page to swap their ETH into two "potential forked" tokens, ETHS and ETHW at a 1:1 ratio (1 ETH= 1 ETHS+1 ETHW). Users are also allowed to swap their ETHS and ETHW into ETH at the same ratio before the upgrade. MEXC will open the corresponding markets with the following timeline: Potential Forked Tokens:        - ETHS: The token for the new PoS (proof-of-stake) chain;        - ETHW: The token for the PoW (proof-of-work) chain that will potentially continue to exist once the hard fork occurs. Swap (ETH into ETHS & ETHW) Period: 2022-08-08 02:00 (UTC) till ETH 2.0 upgrade Swap (ETHS & ETHW into ETH) period: 2022-08-08 02:00 (UTC) till ETH 2.0 upgrade Market Pairs: ETHS/USDT, ETHW/USDT (More pairs may be available for trading in the future) Trading for ETHS & ETHW: 2022-08-08 04:00 (UTC)  Deposits & Withdrawals: Deposits and withdrawals of ETHS & ETHW will not be enabled.   2. MEXC will take snapshots of all ETHS balances before the upgrade. If the ETH 2.0 upgrade ends up with more than one chain:  ETHS will be automatically converted into the upgraded ETH at a 1:1 ratio and the ETHS market will be closed. After the hard fork, the PoW chain with the most hashrate will serve as the main chain of ETHW. ETHW held by users will be automatically converted into the upgraded ETHW at a 1:1 ratio. MEXC will also support other PoW chains resulting from the fork if any, and fully respect the community's opinions on token naming.MEXC will adapt the token's name to the final community consensus and re-enable the token's deposits and withdrawals in due course. For details about the snapshot and airdrops, please follow our upcoming announcements.   3. If ETH 2.0 upgrade is completed without a fork (Ethereum transitions from PoW to PoS): The ETH symbol will be retained.In this case, MEXC will suspend and delist ETHS, ETHW, and their associated markets. Users can swap their ETHS and ETHW tokens to ETH at 1:1 ratio (1ETHS+1 ETHW = 1 ETH). Please be cautious about the potential risks involved.   Please note: Based on the latest market information and community consensus, MEXC will take the above measures and continue to make the utmost effort to maintain a stable market. More details will be provided in the following announcements. MEXC reserves the right to amend or change this announcement at any time (e.g. delist the relevant trading pairs in advance) to adapt to the latest market trends.   Risk Reminder: As there are still uncertainties in the hard fork of Ethereum, trading or investing in "potential forked" tokens bears high risks. This potential fork may not last due to insufficient hashrate or a possible lack of support from developers or community members, which will cause the tokens to lose all value or be delisted from MEXC. MEXC does not guarantee the value of any "potential forked" tokens. Please be prudent before making any decisions.
