Published on Jan 26, 20192 min read

Dear valued customers,

Our ETH spot index price is affected by an error during an upgrade of the index system, causing the liquidations of positions of certain users from 12:12:05 - 12:21:55 and 13:04:05 - 13:13:55 Jan 25, 2019 (CET, UTC+1).

Our team immediately responded and repaired the system once the error was found to minimize the impact. However, a few of our customers are still affected by the incident.

As we always put our customers first in everything we do, we will compensate for the loss of our users who are affected by this incident.

Please note that customers who experienced trading losses under normal circumstances are not eligible for the compensation.
