Restrictions on project reconfigurations and global toggles for suspending payments and activating token minting at will

| Field                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Pause Payments        | If enabled, your project cannot be paid for. This has been utilized by project owners between fundraising seasons or when desiring to fully halt token issuance.                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Allow token minting   | When enabled, the project owner can mint project tokens to any address at will. This could be used for setting up a "premine", or to create an additional token reserve for the DAO.                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Reconfiguration rules | Reconfiguration rules are requirements that must be satisfied in order to reconfigure a project. Conforming to the default 3-day delay, a reconfiguration must be filed at least 3 days before to the beginning of the subsequent financing period. This allows the community time to validate queued reconfigurations and prevents a rug pull at the last minute. |
