# BitGo restores normal Canton service after upgrade maintenance

**By [CantonNews](https://cantonnews.org/author/cantonnews), Editorial Team** · Published 12 October 2026 · ECOSYSTEM, TECHNOLOGY

> BitGo has closed its Canton upgrade maintenance notice and returned the service to operational status. The update follows the network’s planned move to CantonBFT.

BitGo has [closed its Canton maintenance notice](https://status.bitgo.com/incidents/w7rz38b4ry1k), returning its Canton service to operational status after the scheduled MainNet upgrade.

The notice was marked resolved on October 10 at 14:45 UTC. It had been opened the previous day for the network-wide Logical Synchronizer Upgrade, the process used for the planned move to CantonBFT.

_Excerpt from [BitGo’s status page](https://status.bitgo.com/incidents/w7rz38b4ry1k). The resolution was posted at 07:45 PDT on October 10, equivalent to 14:45 UTC. Screenshot captured October 12._

A [post-upgrade confirmation from Tritemius Labs](https://x.com/TritemiusLabs/status/2108935462182154534) describes CantonBFT replacing CometBFT as the network’s transaction-ordering system. Ordering determines the sequence in which transactions are processed. The change concerns shared Canton infrastructure, rather than a BitGo-only update.

The maintenance window involved two separate restrictions. A 24-hour freeze on changes to the network’s configuration was scheduled from October 9 at 13:00 UTC to October 10 at 13:00 UTC. During that period, new Canton wallets could not be initialised through BitGo, while ordinary transfers were expected to continue.

The [operator timetable](https://forum.canton.network/t/topology-freeze-friday-9-am-us-eastern/9279) then allowed for a short transaction pause at the migration itself. The day-long configuration freeze was therefore not a planned 24-hour halt to transfers.

For BitGo customers, the update closes the maintenance notice associated with those restrictions. It follows the [upgrade timetable covered earlier by CantonNews](https://cantonnews.org/canton-outlines-its-october-10-mainnet-upgrade-timetable).
