Freezing a Node

When a node is frozen, proposals cannot be executed. This can be used as an emergency measure to halt transactions coming from a project node, temporarily.

To initiate a freeze, navigate to the node you wish to freeze and select the settings cog from the node homepage. An option to initiate a freeze should appear as an option from a dropdown menu.

Once the option to initiate a freeze is selected, a proposal on the parent will be generated. This proposal has different criteria to pass from a normal proposal, as specified during node creation. If the connected wallet has enough voting power to pass the proposal solo, then voting is skipped and the node is frozen immediately.

A node naturally unfreezes once the freeze period has elapsed.
