$PIGGY Estimated Time for a Token to Resume Trading After a Security Incident

When a token is suspended from trading due to a hack (for example: illegal minting, contract exploit, or unauthorized token issuance), the time required to restore trading varies — there is no fixed deadline.
However, based on how exchanges and blockchain projects usually operate, we can estimate realistic timeframes:

⸻

1. Audit and Full Investigation — 3 to 30 days

This includes:
• Reviewing the smart contract
• Identifying how the illegal minting occurred
• Assessing the damage to holders and liquidity

Most projects spend 1–2 weeks on this step.

⸻

2. Fixes, Security Patches, or Contract Migration — 1 to 4 weeks

This may involve:
• Locking or disabling the compromised contract
• Creating a new contract (if irreversible damage occurred)
• Migrating legitimate balances
• Implementing new security measures

This stage usually takes 2–3 weeks.

⸻

3. Exchange Review and Relisting — 1 to 8 weeks

Exchanges will only reactivate trading after:
• Auditors confirm the issue is resolved
• The project provides updated documentation
• The exchange tests deposits/withdrawals on the fixed contract

Some exchanges move quickly (1–2 weeks), while others may take up to two months.

✅ Overall Estimated Time

Combining all stages, typical timelines look like this:

🔵 Best-case scenario: 2–4 weeks

🟡 Average/normal scenario: 1–2 months

🔴 Worst-case/complex scenario: 3–6 months or more
This may be an estimate of the time that could happen.
