# 7.4 Emergency "Blackout" Protocol

In the event of a detected anomaly (e.g., proof generation irregularity or rapid TVL outflow), the Guardian Council can trigger the "Blackout" Protocol.

1. All Fog Pool withdrawals are paused.
2. The network enters "ReadOnly" mode.
3. Users can still generate proofs of their balances (Snapshot), ensuring their claim to the underlying assets remains provable even if the contract is paused.
4. A governance vote is required to restart the system.
