Bybit announced support for the Polygon (POL) v0.9.0 network upgrade on June 25, 2026, with the upgrade expected at 14:00 UTC and deposits and withdrawals via Polygon scheduled to pause from 13:45 UTC. This is a protocol-ops item because transfer routes, wallet timing and dapp settlement assumptions all depend on a clean upgrade window.
For Radar, the event is not about a token price call. It is about how an exchange maintenance notice can help users avoid sending assets into a paused transfer route.
What Happened
The official Bybit notice gives a precise June 25 timetable: expected Polygon upgrade at 14:00 UTC and a temporary suspension of deposits and withdrawals starting at 13:45 UTC. The notice also says trading will not be affected.
That creates a clear separation between market availability and network transfer availability. A user can still see markets trading while the operational route for moving POL-network assets through the exchange is temporarily unavailable.
Why It Matters
Polygon upgrade support matters because many dapps, bridges and exchange wallets depend on predictable settlement. Even a short maintenance window can interrupt arbitrage, treasury movements or user withdrawals if the timing is ignored.
The owner-fit angle is chain update readiness: verify upgrade timing, avoid near-window transfers, monitor wallet reopening and compare official exchange notices with protocol infrastructure status.
What To Watch Next
Watch whether Bybit reopens Polygon deposits and withdrawals cleanly after the expected upgrade window. Also monitor other exchanges and infrastructure providers for similar notices if a treasury or app depends on multiple routes.
If the transfer route remains paused longer than expected, treat it as an operations signal and delay non-urgent bridging or exchange-wallet moves.
Source And Timing Check
The source-backed protocol check starts with the official maintenance or upgrade notice, then maps the exact window to wallet routing, bridge timing, exchange deposit status and dapp dependency risk. A chain can continue producing blocks while a specific transfer route is paused.
Before acting, verify the route that the user actually needs. If a bridge, exchange wallet, sequencer, relayer or RPC provider is still normalizing after the window, the safer protocol decision is to wait for visible restoration.
