Once the new Build is accepted, it replaces the old Build. Henceforth, the "Store" accepts only calls from the new Build. The old Build is incapacitated and merely exists in the system.
Contract Security

Offline key
Every high risk operation in Edgecoin is approved with a key which is stored in an exclusive offline storage system.
Key Generation
The approval key is generated with a Hardware Security Module that has reached a certain level. The generated key is known as a "signer".
Dual Control
To enhance security, at least two signers are required to approve a High risk behavior.
Time Lock
There is a waiting time for the implementation of approved high risk operations. This waiting is used to detect potential risk factors that may be harmful to the system.
Undo
If there is any risk detected during the waiting period, the approved action can be undone to prevent invalid and malicious actions.
EDGECOIN PLATFORM SUPERVISION
The Edgecoin system will be thoroughly supervised by a third-party agency to make sure that its transactions comply with the financial laws of the United Kingdom.
