The Ethereum network is preparing for its next technical step. On March 10, 2026, at 06:00 UTC, the blockchain will activate the Eezo Shunt upgrade, formally labeled version 1.17.1. Binance, among other major exchanges, has already signaled support by scheduling a temporary suspension of ETH deposits and withdrawals roughly five minutes before the upgrade window opens. The process is expected to last approximately one hour, after which network services will resume once stability is confirmed.
