Bybit Confirms Support for Avalanche v1.15.0 Network Upgrade

Bybit announced that it will upgrade its validator and node infrastructure to align with Avalanche’s upcoming v1.15.0 network release. The exchange will maintain spot trading for AVAX throughout the synchronization process.

Infrastructure Update

The upgrade involves updating the software that connects deposits, withdrawals, and internal wallet systems to the Avalanche blockchain. Bybit emphasizes that the change is purely technical and does not require users to move tokens or claim new assets.

Impact on Users

During the node synchronization, spot trading will remain available, and there are no alterations to AVAX’s tokenomics, supply cap, or contract address. Users can expect continued exchange support once the upgrade is complete.

Broader Significance

Adoption of the network upgrade by a major exchange like Bybit represents a necessary step for Avalanche to achieve broader production‑scale deployment of its new software.
