CCIX Ticker Symbol Changes: Expected Behaviour and Propagation Times

When a ticker symbol changes in the CCIX index (for example, from MONAD to MON), there is a propagation period before the new symbol becomes available in our APIs. This article explains what to expect during ticker rename events.

Propagation Timeline

After a ticker rename is applied to the CCIX index:

• REST API: New ticker available within ~40-50 minutes
• WebSocket API: New ticker available within ~40-50 minutes

Best Practices for Handling Ticker Renames

• Monitor for ticker rename notifications and be prepared for a temporary unavailability period of 40-60 minutes as systems update. During this window, neither the old nor new ticker symbol will be available.
• Implement automatic retry logic to detect when the new ticker becomes available. The propagation typically completes within 40-60 minutes after the CCIX index update.
