CEX.IO to Support the Ethereum Constantinople Upgrade

[PRIBO247]

CEX.IO will support the
Ethereum Constantinople upgrade, which is estimated to happen
between 14 and 18 January 2019.

The Ethereum Constantinople upgrade – originally planned for
November 2018 but actually taking place in January 2019 – has
been a part of the Ethereum roadmap for a long time. With
Constantinople, network developers are implementing software
updates to make the Ethereum network cheaper and more
efficient.

CEX.IO is making all required technical adjustments to enable
support for the Constantinople upgrade. Right before the
upgrade, we will stop ETH deposits and withdrawals in order to
secure users’ funds, as that is our main priority. After the
Constantinople upgrade has been successfully completed, all
Ethereum holders will be able to trade their coins on CEX.IO as
usual. Additionally, if the chain were to split, all users with ETH
on their balances at the time of the fork will receive new coins.
“With more than 2.7 million users, CEX.IO is working on the
reliable products and services to maintain the trust of millions of
our clients across the globe. Each and every product should
bring the highest value to the users by providing simple and
effective solutions for their financial needs.” — Elaine Neal,
CEX.IO Chief Product Officer.
