What benefits will users notice once the update is complete?
Once the update is completed Bittrex and Bittrex International users will enjoy noticeably faster orderbook updates and overall order execution. The updated site will have the capacity to execute even more orders per second. In fact, after the upgrade, your orders will be processed at a rate 20 times faster than before.
Will there be any additional improvements from the update?
The update is paving the way for a collection of exciting features that will be rolled out on Bittrex and Bittrex International throughout 2019. Some of these features will include:
Maker-Taker and other features for liquidity providers and high-volume traders
New ways to add fiat to your accounts
Account management improvements (access to full transaction history, account statements, and more)
New order types and options, including Market Orders
More Flexible Conditional Orders which will eliminate the need for reserve funds when making conditional orders, allowing traders more flexibility without tying up money in conditional trades. (NOTE: Conditional Orders will be disabled until this updated functionality goes live)
And, much more - so stay tuned!
Will any features be disabled after the update and what happens to open orders during the upgrade?
As stated above, Conditional Order types will be temporarily disabled on the Bittrex and Bittrex International platforms. Keep watching for an announcement on our blog and on our verified social media channels for updates about when this feature will be re-enabled.

Finally, partially filled orders will be cancelled when we take the markets offline for the upgrade. Specifically, customers with existing, partially-filled open orders will have the remainder of their unfilled orders cancelled during the update, which starts on February 27th at 21:00 UTC. Please note the time and date of the update and take appropriate measures to complete or cancel orders prior to the markets going offline for the upgrade.
