Overview
Across several infrastructure and exchange status pages, Story Mainnet entered a scheduled maintenance window beginning Jan 14, 2026 23:30 UTC, with expected unavailability lasting roughly 24–48 hours. The maintenance is framed as a protocol upgrade by one provider, while exchange-facing messaging emphasizes temporary pauses for transactions and limited read-only access for explorers. Separately, Alchemy also flagged a short, scheduled Rise Testnet upgrade window on Jan 15.

Why now
- Maintenance window started Jan 14, 2026 23:30 UTC with a 24–48h expectation
- Multiple status pages simultaneously report the same downtime period
- A separate Rise Testnet upgrade is scheduled for Jan 15 (02:00–03:00 UTC)
Why it matters
- Planned downtime can pause on-chain activity and affect transaction processing
- Exchange-side pauses (deposits/withdrawals) can impact user operations during the window
- Provider notes of block stalls signal potential instability until maintenance completes
