+### Emergency Maintenance Pallets
+
+#### Safe Mode
+
+The **SafeMode** pallet introduces an emergency STOP mechanism for the chain, restricting operations to a predefined set of permitted calls (only system calls). This mechanism is especially useful during chain anomalies or attacks. The `Technical Committee` can force-enter or exit _Safe Mode_. The _dApp staking_ maintenance mode is triggered when entering/exiting **Safe Mode**.
+
+These parameters are related to the _Safe Mode_ logic.

+
+#### Tx Pause
+
+The **TxPause** pallet provides the ability to pause specific transaction calls dynamically. This feature is useful for mitigating issues with specific modules or calls without halting the entire chain. The `Technical Committee` can pause and resume individual calls dynamically as needed.
+
+These parameters are related to the _Tx Pause_ logic.
