Chiliz, the blockchain network powering fan tokens, is upgrading the smart contracts for PSG, BAR, and TIGRES to a new version (V2). This is a mandatory technical change happening simultaneously across all exchanges. It does not affect the value or availability of your tokens — your balances remain exactly the same throughout the process.
The only change you may notice is a brief pause in deposits and withdrawals for PSG and BAR on May 8, 2026, while we execute the upgrade. No action is required from your side.
Your funds are safe. No action is needed. Bitso will handle the contract migration automatically on May 8, 2026.
What is changing
Chiliz is migrating PSG, BAR, and TIGRES from their current smart contract to a new V2 contract. This upgrade is part of Chiliz's ongoing network improvements and is required for continued support across all exchanges.
The token name, ticker, and value remain unchanged. This is purely a technical migration at the contract level.
What to expect:
- PSG Fan Token (PSG) & Barcelona Fan Token (BAR) deposits and withdrawals will be temporarily paused for a few hours on May 8 during the migration.
- Trading will not be affected.
- Your balance will not change.
- Once the migration is complete, all services will resume automatically. You will receive a confirmation email.
- Users with an existing Tigres Fan Token (TIGRES) balance can continue to withdraw at any time.
- This migration ensures that TIGRES withdrawals continue to function correctly on the new contract.
What you need to do
Nothing. Bitso will handle the entire migration automatically.
If you would like to deposit or withdraw PSG or BAR before the maintenance window, you can do so any time before May 8. Services will resume shortly after the migration completes.
