The maintenance has been completed. All exchange operations are back to normal.
Scheduled infrastructure maintenance — today, Wednesday 2 September, 6:00 PM ET / 22:00 UTC
We're moving the MM API and WebSocket fleets onto dedicated infrastructure, the final infrastructure step ahead of GA tomorrow. The window is budgeted at 45 minutes, ending by 22:45 UTC.
The exchange will be in cancel-only for the duration — new orders paused, cancels still accepted. This applies to all participants.
If you connect over PrivateLink, your WebSocket connection will also drop once as the gateway rolls pod by pod; standard reconnect logic covers it. Public-endpoint connections are unaffected.
No API or behaviour changes in this release.

This release adds a 50ms grace window so a cancel-by-client-order-id that races its own create now succeeds instead of returning order_unknown, and serves exact lookups for rejected orders from gateway memory so they no longer shed with 503 under load. Two read endpoints now reject malformed filters instead of silently ignoring them. Market-maker websocket connections will drop once as the gateway rolls.

16 new perps go live today at 16:00 UTC. We are running a one time bonus on top of daily liquidity rewards for the first 24 hours.
$1,000 per listing, $16,000 total. Same scoring you already quote against for the daily liquidity rewards.
Three things to know:
- Bonus is distributed per asset to the top 3 market makers. Ranking is on displayed liquidity, not volume. Same score as the daily program: band weighted two sided depth, harmonic mean across sides, uptime across snapshots. Top 3 per listing take 60 / 25 / 15. Fourth and below earn nothing from the bonus.
- 16:00 to 22:00 UTC counts 5x. That block settles 62.5% of each pot.
- Trailing 7 day maker share is not weighted for the window.
Daily rewards and the OI incentive run as normal underneath and are unaffected by where you place.

No breaking changes to order placement, authentication, or market data
This release makes a cancel that races its own order's acceptance succeed instead of returning `order_in_flight`, and switches cancel and account routes to a retryable `503 service_unavailable` (instead of `500`) when the engine times out. A more aggressive reduce-only order now displaces your own less aggressive resting reduce-only orders on the same side (`reduce_only_expired`), and isolated-margin accounts get a stricter margin check when a ladder of orders could flip a position. The market-maker REST host's connection ceilings are doubled, and `fee_tier` is added as a required field on the portfolio response. Account groups (cross-account self-trade prevention, trading-key transfers, shared leverage defaults) are available on request. Market-maker websocket connections will drop once as the gateway rolls.

This release margins position-reversing orders at their worst executable price, so some flips previously admitted may now return insufficient_margin. Candle and volume strings on public reads are now correctly rounded (numeric values unchanged), and daily reward rows appear automatically after 12:05 UTC. Market-maker websocket connections will drop once as the gateway rolls.
