Managed the operational response to security incidents affecting the pNetwork bridge, including activating emergency governance, pausing vulnerable contracts and coordinating remediation patches. Concrete responsibilities encompassed drafting and approving public incident reports, negotiating timeframes with centralized exchanges for withdrawals or temporary delistings, and leading the technical/legal liaison with investigators. Supervised independent forensic audits and ensured that recommended fixes were implemented and validated before markets were reopened. Actions included contracting third‑party forensic teams, approving scope of investigation, and converting forensic findings into prioritized technical tickets for engineering teams. These steps were essential for reestablishing market trust and enabling exchanges to resume trading. Led regulatory engagement when incidents raised legal or compliance questions, presenting remediation plans and governance changes to national authorities and industry bodies. Practical outcomes included agreed timelines for unlocking certain asset classes, commitments for ongoing auditor oversight, and negotiated custodial conditions that affected PNT custody and trading terms. Coordinated settlement mechanics and governance proposals that altered token holder rights or compensation schemes following losses. Implementation of those governance outcomes directly changed token supply dynamics, holder claims and legal exposures, with material consequences for secondary market pricing and institutional counterparties.
