Overview

Freeze is an action that immediately halts the generation of any new Institutional Vault transfers. Until the wallet is unfrozen, no user can create new transfers using the wallet. A confirmation request is simultaneously made to the administrator who froze the wallet. If/when this confirmation request is granted, the policy engine will halt all transfer activities (including those in progress but not yet broadcast).

Note:

This operation is only available to Administrator Users in the Institutional Vault's settings menu.
