What Is an Exchange Status Page?
Most major crypto exchanges maintain a public status page that shows whether their services are working normally. These pages break down the platform into components — like trading, deposits, withdrawals, and the website — and show the current health of each one.
Common Status Types
- Operational: Everything is working normally.
- Degraded Performance: The service works but may be slower than usual.
- Partial Outage: Some functions are affected; others work normally.
- Major Outage: Significant service disruption affecting many users.
Common Incident Types
- Withdrawal delays: You can trade, but sending crypto out of the exchange takes longer than usual.
- Deposit delays: Funds you send to the exchange take longer to appear in your account.
- Trading issues: Orders may not execute, fill slowly, or show incorrect prices.
- Scheduled maintenance: Planned downtime, usually with advance notice and a completion estimate.
What to Do During an Outage
- Stay calm — your funds are almost certainly safe.
- Do not start new transactions — they may get stuck or behave unexpectedly.
- Check official channels — the exchange's status page, Twitter, and support portal.
- Beware of scammers — outages attract fake “support” accounts that will try to steal your info.
- Wait for resolution — most issues resolve within hours.
