Binance has announced that it will temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals due to planned wallet maintenance on the BNB Smart Chain network on April 17. During this period, users will not be able to perform transactions on the network.
The maintenance will begin at 06:00 (UTC) on April 17, but transactions will be halted five minutes earlier, i.e., at 05:55 AM (UTC). Binance estimates that this process will take approximately one hour. However, the platform stated that this duration is not guaranteed and that transactions will resume once the network is deemed stable.
Binance: Trading Will Continue, Only Transfers Will Be Affected
Binance stated that BNB trading will not be affected during the maintenance period, and only transfers on the BNB Smart Chain will be temporarily halted. Users will not be able to send or withdraw BNB to or from their wallets during this time.

In the last 24 hours, the network collected $613,000 in transaction fees, while DEX volume surpassed $667 million. Additionally, the network supports over 1,000 projects operating outside the DeFi space.
