Upbit Halts GRAM Transfers Amid Network Maintenance
On October 21st, leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit issued an operational notice regarding GRAM token services. The announcement clarified that due to wallet maintenance on the underlying The Open Network (TON) blockchain, the platform has temporarily suspended all deposit and withdrawal functions for GRAM.
Scope of the Service Suspension
This interruption is a precautionary measure triggered by upstream network maintenance. Key points from the notice include:
- Suspended: All GRAM deposits and withdrawals.
- Unaffected: All spot trading for GRAM pairs continues normally on the exchange.
- Resumption: Services will be restored following the completion of the TON network maintenance, with an update to be provided later.
In practical terms, users can still trade GRAM assets held in their Upbit accounts but cannot move them on or off the exchange for the time being.
Next Steps for Users
For users interacting with GRAM, a calm approach is recommended. This is a standard technical pause, not a security incident.
If you have pending transfer plans, it's crucial to wait for the official all-clear before initiating any transactions. Sending funds to exchange addresses during this period could lead to delays.
The most important action is to monitor Upbit's official announcement channel for the service restoration notice. Trading activity for GRAM remains fully operational, ensuring market access is maintained throughout the maintenance window.
