To further enhance the performance of KuCoin PRO-API, KuCoin will conduct a non-disruptive upgrade at 07:00 (UTC) on May 15, 2026. The upgrade is expected to last 180 minutes.
During the upgrade period, users may experience the following impacts:
The PRO WebSocket may experience temporary disconnections, data loss, or delays. Users may reconnect to the WebSocket to restore the connection.
A small number of PRO API requests may experience temporary issues during this period, which are expected to recover within 5 seconds.

KuCoin will support the ticker change of U token to the UNION token. We will automatically complete the U swap to UNION for U holders on KuCoin.

KuCoin Trading Bot will delist U/USDT at 9:00 on May 21, 2026 (UTC), including Spot Grid, AI Spot Trend, Spot Martingale, Infinity Grid, DCA, Spot Grid AI Plus and Smart Rebalance. Users are advised to shut down the running Trading Bots before the time above. If the user fails to close the bot before the time above, the system will automatically shut down the relevant trading bot for the user.

The withdrawal and deposit services for U will be closed at 8:00 on May 22, 2026 (UTC).

The trading service for U/USDT trading pair will be suspended at 10:00 on May 22, 2026 (UTC). We recommend that you cancel your pending orders of U as soon as possible.

From 7:00 to 8:00 on May 25 (UTC), 2026, the PRO&Classic WebSocket may experience temporary disconnections, data loss, or delays. Users may reconnect to the WebSocket to restore the connection.

To complete the change, we will convert the U to UNION at a ratio of 1:1 (1 U = 1 UNION). Related follow-ups to this subject will be announced separately as soon as possible.

After the migration is complete, please ensure you select UNION when depositing on-chain assets to KuCoin.

👉👉Important Upgrade👈👈

To further enhance the stability, fairness, and accuracy of the funding rate mechanism in reflecting real market supply and demand, KuCoin Futures will gradually adopt a new funding rate calculation algorithm. The first batch of 140 perpetual contracts is scheduled to be migrated on 08:00 on June 1, 2026 (UTC).

For more details, please refer to the announcement:
https://www.kucoin.com/announcement/en-important-funding-rate-calculation-update-for-several-perpetual-contracts-2026-06-01

To improve WebSocket connection establishment and authentication efficiency, KuCoin will optimize the PRO WebSocket handshake and authentication flow.

With this optimization, the handshake and authentication stages will be changed from synchronous processing to asynchronous processing, reducing blocking behavior and improving the number of authentication requests that can be processed per unit of time.

In addition, when a WebSocket connection fails authentication due to invalid, expired, or unauthorized credentials, the server will return an “auth failed” message via WebSocket frame, helping clients quickly identify the issue and take appropriate action.

This optimization will not affect successfully authenticated WebSocket connections. We recommend that API users add handling logic for the authentication failure message where applicable.

To improve the API trading experience, enhance trading capabilities under the Unified Trading Account (UTA) framework, and reduce integration complexity across different account modes, KuCoin will upgrade the Pro API and release related API updates.
After the upgrade, the Pro API will be upgraded to the UTA API. Going forward, the UTA API will exclusively support the Unified Trading Account (UTA) mode.

Upgrade Schedule
The upgrade is scheduled for 08:00 on June 3, 2026 (UTC) and is expected to last 180 minutes.

Upgrade Impact
During the upgrade period, users may experience the following impacts:
The PRO WebSocket may experience temporary disconnections, data loss, or delays. Users may reconnect to the WebSocket to restore the connection.

Upgrade Details
3.1 UTA API Upgrade
Currently, certain Pro API endpoints are compatible with both Classic Accounts and Unified Trading Accounts (UTA). Moving forward, we will continue to focus on the Unified Trading Account framework and further enhance the UTA API with new capabilities and feature optimizations. Compatibility support related to Classic Accounts will enter maintenance mode and will no longer be the primary focus for future feature development, performance improvements, or long-term platform evolution.

[Adjustment Details]
The Pro API will be upgraded to the UTA API, which will primarily support the Unified Trading Account (UTA) going forward.
Compatibility support related to the Classic Account within UTA API will enter maintenance mode.

If you are currently using the “Pro API + Classic Account” model, we strongly recommend completing one of the following migration options as soon as possible:
Switch to the Unified Trading Account (UTA) mode for trading;
Continue using the Classic API for Classic Account trading.

This will help ensure a smooth migration and uninterrupted trading operations.

3.2 API Upgrades
WebSocket handshake and authentication flow optimization:
Synchronous processing will be changed to asynchronous processing during the handshake and authentication stages, reducing blocking behavior and improving the number of authentication requests that can be processed per unit of time.
When a WebSocket connection fails authentication due to invalid, expired, or unauthorized credentials, the server will send an “auth failed” message via WebSocket frame, enabling clients to quickly identify the failure reason and take appropriate actions. This optimization does not affect successfully authenticated WebSocket connections.

[Modify] UTA REST Get Position List (UTA), added response field:
positionMargin: Margin occupied by the futures position.
riskRatio: Risk ratio of an isolated futures position.

[Modify] UTA Websocket Position, added response field:
