What happened

CryptoRoute continuously probes the health of its swap routes. On Sat, Aug 29, 2026 4:11 PM UTC, our monitoring flagged BNB Chain as major outage based on a drop in synthetic quote success and/or elevated latency.

Update: the incident was resolved on Sat, Aug 29, 2026 5:06 PM UTC and BNB Chain returned to operational.

Why it matters for swaps

While the incident was active, routes touching BNB Chain may have quoted more slowly, failed more often, or been temporarily unavailable. Swaps are non-custodial and refundable, but it is always worth checking status before sending funds.

What to check before you swap

• Confirm the current status on the BNB Chain status page.

• Verify your recipient address is correct for the destination network.

• Do not resend a transaction while a previous one is still processing.
