New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

One of our infra providers is experiencing issues, which means Omni currently has degraded performance. This means some requests will go through, and some will fail, and nearly all requests will take longer than normal. Should be resolved soon, but we'll keep everyone updated!

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

UPDATE: This issue should be resolved.

- We identified that the source of the problem was with one of our data providers, and have implemented a hotfix.
- We're in conversations with the data provider to learn more about what happened and how we can prevent this in the future.
- We're also looking into ways we can improve our own system to prevent an issue like this from affecting as much of the platform as it did in the future.

Thanks to everyone that reported the issue!

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

We're aware of an issue where open orders are not closing and are stuck in pending. Devs are investigating!

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

@here

New announcement from 0xmgb in Discord:

Hey @here, unfortunately we need to move today's office hour trading competition to my office hours next Friday. 😢

We're seeing crazy amounts of traffic and need to scale our infra before we can confidently host another competition. We don't want people running into issues while trying to compete!

Sorry! We'll increase the prizes for next week to make up for it ❤️

PS: I'll still be hosting today's office hours as normal if you'd like to come hang!

New announcement from mr_plumpkin in Discord:

@here we are doing maintenance to upgrade the servers. If we aren't able to upgrade by ~1 hour for the start of the trading competition, we will have to postpone the competition

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here Maintenance finished 🫡

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here Maintenance mode just went on. Will be a longer deploy focused on some major system improvements and adding new features.

Stay tuned for updates in this channel.

Note: this release will require clearing all account/trading data on testnet since we are deploying new contract versions. You will be required to relink your wallets and create fresh accounts.

As usual, we've snapshotted your past activity, so your contributions to testnet will be safe.

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

Resolved! Continuing to monitor but things should be business as usual on testnet until our maintenace window (see above) later today.

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

We're aware of an issue with orders being stuck in pending on testnet currently, investigating...

New announcement from variational_lvs in Discord:

@here Hey guys, upcoming large release later today around 6pm ET/11pm UTC. Will likely take until midnight UTC or later. Updates will be posted before it begins and after it conculdes. Data will be cleared again (we're upgrading the underlying smart contracts!) but usage stats/progress will be saved from testnet, as always.
