Notice Regarding the Upcoming ETH Merge and Potential Hard Fork

Dear KuCoin Users,

With the ETH Merge approaching, there is a lot of discussion in the community on the upcoming Ethereum Merge and the potential hard fork. KuCoin always takes responsibility for users' assets and will respect and support the outcome as ultimately decided by community consensus.

A potential hard fork could bring a lot of uncertainties to the market. KuCoin will closely monitor the community and the fork. In case of new forked tokens, KuCoin will handle any newly forked tokens in the following manner:

1. KuCoin will announce in advance solutions to Ethereum hard forks (including details about snapshot time, airdrop arrangements, token deposits/withdrawals, token ticker updates etc.).

2. KuCoin will decide whether to list forked tokens, fully taking factors including user opinions and compliance with security standards into consideration.

3. KuCoin maintains an objective attitude towards spin-off assets created through hard forks and adheres to the principle of ensuring the security of users' assets.

KuCoin will continue to monitor The Merge and will inform you of any changes or specific plans through announcements as quickly as possible. Before and after The Merge, please pay attention to risks associated with market fluctuations pertaining to relative tokens.

The KuCoin Team
