What Does the "Maintenance" Label Mean?

The "Maintenance" label on Pluang means a coin is temporarily undergoing system maintenance — typically because of a network outage, technical work, or an identified security threat — so both buying and selling are paused while the label is active. Unlike "Buy Paused" or "Sell Paused," which affect only one direction, "Maintenance" pauses buying and selling together. It is a temporary state, not a removal: the coin stays visible in Home and Explore throughout, which is what sets it apart from a "Delisted" or "Rug Pulled" coin. Your existing holdings are not deleted or seized — they simply can't be traded until the maintenance clears.


Good to know:

  • Both buying and selling are paused. The pause covers both directions, unlike "Buy Paused" or "Sell Paused," which each affect only one side.
  • Common causes. A network outage on the coin's blockchain, technical work, or an identified security threat.
  • The coin stays visible. It remains in Home and Explore — a signal that the pause is temporary, not a removal.
  • Your holdings are safe. An existing balance isn't deleted or taken away; you just can't transact it until maintenance ends.
  • It's temporary by design. Once the cause is resolved, Pluang restores trading — no action needed from you.
  • Versus "Trading Paused." "Maintenance" points to a network/technical/security cause; "Trading Paused" can also cover news or policy. Both pause both sides.

Related questions:

Q: Can I buy or sell a coin under "Maintenance"?
No — both buying and selling are paused while the label is active. Your existing balance stays safe and visible; you just can't transact the coin until Pluang lifts the pause.

Q: How long does maintenance status usually last?
There's no fixed duration — it depends on the underlying cause. Check the coin's detail view in the app for the current status. Trading resumes automatically once the cause is resolved.

Q: Will a coin under maintenance disappear from Home and Explore?
No — it stays visible in both. That continued visibility distinguishes maintenance from a "Delisted" or "Rug Pulled" coin, which is being removed from the platform.

Q: Are my existing holdings safe during maintenance?
Yes. Maintenance doesn't delete or reduce a balance you already hold — your coins remain yours and stay visible in your portfolio. Only your ability to trade is paused.

Q: What's the difference between "Maintenance" and "Trading Paused"?
Both pause buying and selling together. "Maintenance" points to a network, technical, or security cause; "Trading Paused" is broader and can also cover news or a policy decision.
