KuCoin PYR Deposits Suspended: What Vulcan Forged Users Should Do
KuCoin temporarily suspended PYR deposits for maintenance on September 21. Here is how to handle an in-flight deposit and avoid recovery scams.
Markets Desk
Direct answer: KuCoin temporarily suspended Vulcan Forged PYR deposits for essential maintenance on September 21, 2026. Withdrawals and trading were not identified as affected in the notice. If you already sent PYR to KuCoin, do not resend the transaction or pay anyone claiming they can accelerate the credit.
What KuCoin announced
KuCoin said PYR deposit service was temporarily closed for maintenance and that it would not publish a separate restoration announcement. That makes the deposit page itself the best place to confirm whether deposits have reopened before sending funds.
If your PYR deposit is already on-chain
1. Check the transaction hash
Open the transaction in the appropriate block explorer and confirm the destination address, network, status and confirmations. A completed blockchain transaction only proves delivery to the exchange address; it does not guarantee KuCoin has credited the account while its deposit system is paused.
2. Save evidence
Keep the transaction hash, sending address, destination address, amount and timestamp. If the chain shows success but the balance remains missing after KuCoin restores deposits, use KuCoin's official support flow and provide those details.
3. Do not send a second test deposit while deposits are disabled
A second transfer can create another uncredited deposit. Wait until the deposit page explicitly shows PYR as available.
What not to do
Never share a seed phrase, private key or remote-access code with anyone offering “deposit recovery.” Exchange support does not need your wallet seed phrase. Ignore direct messages linking to unofficial claim, sync or verification pages.
