A preliminary permission audit by SlowMist: SlowMist will initially audit the protocol's permission mechanism to prevent incidents similar to the previous attack. KiloEx will determine whether to relaunch based on the outcomes of the preliminary permission audit. Subsequently, SlowMist will continue with a full audit of the protocol's logic and economic model. The required time is still being assessed but will be notably less than 45 days.

Once the audit results are obtained, KiloEx will promptly announce the timeline for the relaunch.
