Binance to support aelf network upgrade, temporarily halting deposits and withdrawals on Jan. 15, 2025.

In anticipation of a network update, Binance has announced that it will temporarily suspend token deposits and withdrawals on the aelf (ELF) network on Jan. 15, 2025, at 17:00 (UTC+8).

The purpose of this planned update is to enhance the overall user experience on the ELF blockchain. The upgrade is scheduled to occur at block height 252,256,057, and the process is expected to commence at approximately 18:00 UTC+8 on the same day. Block height refers to the position of a specific block within the blockchain, and the network upgrade will occur once the blockchain reaches this point.

Users will still be able to trade ELF tokens normally on the Binance platform during the network upgrade. However, deposit and withdrawal services will be temporarily unavailable while the upgrade is in progress.

To avoid any potential interruptions, Binance strongly advises users to deposit their ELF tokens in advance. Once the upgrade is complete and the network is stable, deposits and withdrawals will resume automatically without further notice.

ELF is a decentralized blockchain for cloud computing that aims to provide a scalable ecosystem. Its primary goal is to create a flexible blockchain capable of supporting various industries and applications.

At the time of writing, ELF is priced at $0.5016 with a market valuation of $369.18 million. The token’s $28.57 million in trading volume demonstrates a 34.36% drop in the past 24 hours.

Token upgrades refer to modifications made to a blockchain network’s core protocol or structure to improve its usability, security, or overall functionality. In this case, it is expected that the ELF network upgrade is expected to boost both performance and scalability, which are essential for the continued growth and success of the ecosystem.

Throughout 2024, Binance has actively supported network upgrades for several prominent tokens. In April 2024, Binance supported the Ethereum (ETH) Shanghai upgrade, a critical step in ETH’s transition to a more scalable and sustainable network, which allowed staked ETH to be withdrawn.

Binance also supported the Dash network upgrade and hard fork, which took place on January 7, 2025. This upgrade aimed to enhance the network’s security and performance. Additionally, Binance has announced its support for the Optimism network update, scheduled for January 10, 2025, which focuses on improving scalability and efficiency within the Optimism ecosystem.

As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing the blockchain ecosystem and providing users with the best possible experience, Binance is dedicated to ensuring smooth transitions during these upgrades.
