BTSE will migrate DOT to Polkadot Asset Hub, commencing November 4 at 4:00 AM (UTC+8). The upgrade moves core functionality—staking, governance, and balances—off Polkadot’s Relay Chain to its Asset Hub, simplifying cross-chain interactions and reducing network fragmentation.
Deposits and withdrawals will pause during the transition and reopen once the network stabilizes; timing will be announced as soon as stability is confirmed. Trading for DOT will remain unaffected.
Users should ensure their balances are up to date and monitor official channels for real-time updates on deposit/withdrawal availability.
This migration aligns with Polkadot’s roadmap to improve developer experience, interoperability, and scalability across the ecosystem, benefiting builders and users with faster onboarding and smoother asset movements.
We appreciate the patience of the community during this transformative upgrade, and we’ll publish precise timelines and rollback plans if needed to ensure a secure transition.
