Standard Operating Procedure for Node Operators to temporarily halt a specific chain integration.
If a Node Operator notices an issue with a specific chain (e.g., unusual behavior, potential exploit, sync issues, or external chain problems), it is recommended to pause the chain integration. This brings attention to the issue, prevents potential fund loss, and allows time for investigation.
{% hint style="warning" %} Even during chain halts, Node Operators should refrain from doxxing themselves. Staying pseudo-anonymous is critical to ensuring the network is impartial, neutral and resistant to capture.
