Suspended

Event v149 → current #12

Emitted when balance is suspended from an account (can be restored later).

Useful for: developersanalyticswallets

The Big Picture

Suspension temporarily removes balance from an account without destroying it. Unlike burning or slashing, suspended balance can be restored later. This is useful for operations that may need to be reversed, like pending transactions or dispute resolution. The Restored event indicates when suspended funds are returned.

Use Cases

Track temporary balance holds
Monitor pending operations that may be reversed
Build balance state tracking tools
