Polkastarter (POLS), Alchemy Pay (ACH) among affected tokens

In the notice to users, Binance states that the pause on deposits and withdrawals will affect various networks, including BNB Smart Chain, Fantom, Ethereum, and Avalanche C-Chain. Specifically, the Multichain-bridged tokens that can no longer be transferred via the aforementioned chains are:

Polkastarter (POLS), Alchemy Pay (ACH), and SuperVerse (SUPER) and Harvest Finance (FARM) on the BNB Smart Chain; Alpaca Finance (ALPACA) and Beefy.Finance (BIFI) tokens minted on Fantom Network; Spell Token (SPELL) on Avalanche C-Chain and Travala (AVA) on the Ethereum bridge.

While Binance did not provide specific details regarding the reason for ceasing support for these bridge tokens, it emphasized that the decision is related to the earlier suspension of multiple Multichain bridge tokens.

On May 24, the crypto giant announced a temporary suspension of multiple tokens following an incident involving Multichain bridge transfers.

Although deposits and withdrawals for the mentioned tokens are suspended on Binance via the listed chains, the exchange reiterated that users can still access these transfers through other Binance-supported networks.
