FAQ
What does it mean to pause an ERC-20 token?
Pausing an ERC-20 token temporarily disables transfers and trading by activating the token’s built-in pause function on the smart contract. Token balances remain unchanged, but movement of tokens is stopped until the contract is unpaused.
What does the CoinFactory ERC-20 pause service do?
CoinFactory securely calls the pause function on your existing ERC-20 smart contract. This immediately halts token transfers, wallet-to-wallet transactions, and trading on decentralized exchanges that rely on transfers.
When should I pause my token?
You should pause your token during emergencies such as smart contract exploits, security vulnerabilities, suspicious activity, or before critical upgrades or migrations.
Does pausing a token freeze user balances?
No. Pausing only stops token transfers and trading. All balances remain safely stored on the blockchain and will function normally again once the token is unpaused.
Can tokens still be traded on DEXs while paused?
No. Most decentralized exchanges depend on the token’s transfer functionality. When the token is paused, trades, liquidity movements, and transfers involving the token will fail.
Who is allowed to pause the token through CoinFactory?
Only the wallet or role that has permission in the smart contract, such as the owner or a designated pauser role, can authorize the pause. CoinFactory works only with authorized parties to execute the transaction securely.
How fast can CoinFactory pause my ERC-20 token?
Once authorization is confirmed, CoinFactory can execute the pause transaction immediately on-chain. The speed depends mainly on blockchain network confirmation times.
Is pausing a token permanent?
No. Pausing is temporary. The token can be restored to normal operation at any time by calling the unpause function through an authorized transaction.
Do all ERC-20 tokens support pausing?
No. Only ERC-20 tokens that were built with a pause mechanism, such as OpenZeppelin’s Pausable extension, can be paused. If your contract does not include this feature, pausing is not technically possible.
Is the CoinFactory ERC-20 pause service non-custodial?
Yes. CoinFactory does not take control of your token or funds. The service simply helps execute the authorized on-chain pause transaction using the permissions already defined in your smart contract.
