Odaily Planet Daily reports that Variational has announced on its official Discord channel that, due to an update to the wallet connection process, all users will be logged out during the maintenance window five days from now (expected at 3:00 AM UTC on Friday, October 23, 2026), and must log back in using the new process to view their positions and resume trading.
In line with the development timeline previously announced by Variational, the community speculates that this update is likely related to the introduction of the trading API feature. Given that Fridays are Variational’s reward distribution day, if the trading API is indeed launched in the next update, the involvement of programmatic trading is expected to rapidly increase platform trading volume, potentially significantly impacting the efficiency of reward acquisition.
