The primary keyword for this update is ENJ network upgrade exchange route. MEXC says it will support the Enjin Coin network upgrade and suspend ENJ deposits and withdrawals before the May 18 upgrade window, while Enjin's own Kallang post frames the work as a Relaychain upgrade.
For CryptoSigy, the owner-fit angle is exchange execution: whether traders need to adjust deposit, withdrawal, liquidity, and route checks before treating ENJ exposure as clean.
What Happened
MEXC's announcement says ENJ deposits and withdrawals will be temporarily suspended from May 18, 2026 at 14:00 UTC, with the upgrade expected around 14:35 UTC. The same notice says ENJ trading is not expected to be affected during the network upgrade.
Enjin's project post describes the Kallang upgrade as a set of governance improvements, staking fixes, and infrastructure updates for the Enjin Relaychain. It lists Enjin Mainnet activation for May 18, 2026 at block 15,543,000, approximately 16:20 UTC, and runtime version 1.7.0.
Why It Matters
The trading issue is not whether the upgrade is a hard fork headline. It is whether exchange routes remain usable when deposits and withdrawals pause. A token can keep trading on the venue while external transfer routes are unavailable, which changes arbitrage, custody movement, and exit planning.
That is why this belongs on CryptoSigy rather than only Radar. The exchange-only decision is practical: pre-fund before the halt if needed, avoid assuming wallet movement during the window, and watch whether spreads or depth change when external routes are temporarily closed.
The event can also appear on Radar with a different owner angle, but this article stays on liquidity, exchange rails, and route risk.
What To Watch Next
Watch for MEXC to reopen deposits and withdrawals after the network is stable. Also compare whether other venues post their own ENJ route notices, because a single-exchange pause can create uneven transfer conditions across the market.
For active traders, the clean checklist is venue status, deposit address support, withdrawal availability, spot depth, and any gap between exchange timing and project-chain timing.
