We have upgraded all of our BNB Chain (BSC) nodes to the latest v1.1.15 release. 

The BNB Chain suspended operations earlier on Friday after an exploit on a cross-chain bridge, BSC Token Hub, was discovered that resulted in extra BNB. Estimates show that funds taken off the platform are around $100M.

BSC v1.1.15 is a hot fix and hard-fork release. The hard-fork height is 21962149.

In this release, several blacklist addresses are prohibited for further transactions due to the exploit.

All cross-chain transfers and communication between BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain are disabled. 

In our latest release we added support for the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) Mainnet in several of our products and API endpoints.

Crypto APIs customers can now query blockchain data and transact on the BSC Mainnet, set up webhooks for events on the blockchain, derive and sync HD wallets and more. 

Here is the full list with endpoints with added support for BSC Mainnet:

The Ethereum mainnet transition to Proof-of-Stake has been successfully completed. The migration happened today, September 15, 2022, after the blockchain reached a terminal total difficulty of 58,750,000,000T at 06:43 UTC.

All of Crypto APIs products and services are operating flawlessly and we are not experiencing any issues or downtime. 

Our team has validated the seamless synchronization of data for all of our API endpoints and the Merge is not expected to impact your daily operations. 

We continue monitoring the network performance and we will update you if necessary.

The Ethereum Merge to proof-of-stake ("PoS") is just around the corner.

We have upgraded our Ethereum nodes to the latest Bellatrix upgrade in advance to ensure the smooth operations of our customers. You don’t need to do anything on your end and no issues or downtime are expected. 

Bellatrix is a consensus layer upgrade that is set to occur when the Beacon Chain reaches an epoch height of 144,896, around 11:34:47am on September 6, 2022 (UTC).

Another upgrade on the execution layer, Paris, will be triggered by a specific Total Difficulty threshold called the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) with a value of 58750000000000000000000, expected around September 15, 2022 (UTC). 

This will mark the official Merge and Ethereum’s transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Merge and our product suite. 

Dear customers,

Please note that during the past 24 hours we experienced unexpected technical issues. This is an extremely rare occurrence affecting the resilience of the services.

We would like to inform you that the cause has been identified and the issue resolved. We also want to reaffirm that there is no data loss, however you may experience delays in callbacks.

We apologize for the disruption and the inconvenience this have caused in your services.

Sincerely,

The Crypto APIs Team
