Dear KuCoin Futures Users,
To increase market liquidity and improve your trading experience, KuCoin Futures will update the tick size (i.e. the minimum change in the unit price) of the USDT-margined LUNA perpetual contract at 15：25：00 on May 12, 2022 (UTC).
During this period, the order matching, order placing, Take Profit/Stop Loss, Auto-Deposit Margin, and other contract functions on KuCoin Futures website, APP and openAPI will be suspended. Meanwhile, users cannot create or stop the Futures Grid trading bots in this contract. The running bots will not be affected.
It is estimated that the order cancellation will be available at 15:25:00 on May 12, 2022 (UTC). All trading and order matching services will be available at 15:30:00 the same day (UTC). Please note, no further announcement will be issued when the update is completed.
The tick size update will not affect existing orders. After the tick size is updated, orders placed before the update will be matched with the original tick size.
The specific adjustment details are as follows:
| Contract | Before | After |
| LUNA Perpetual/USDT | 0.000001 | 0.000000001 |
To avoid possible risks, you may enable the “Auto-Deposit Margin” feature or close positions in advance. If a large price fluctuation occurs, we will postpone the upgrade accordingly and notify you via the announcement.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience.

Severe price fluctuations may result in the forced liquidation of your entire margin balance. This information should not be regarded as investment advice from KuCoin. All trading is done at your own discretion and at your own risk. KuCoin is not liable for any losses resulting from Futures trading.
