How Does a Time-Lock Contract Enhance Token Security?

A time-lock contract is a smart contract that holds the administrative privileges (like the ability to upgrade or change parameters) of another contract. Any proposed change must be submitted to the time-lock and can only be executed after a predefined delay (e.g.

48 hours). This delay gives the community time to review the change and react if it is malicious, providing a crucial security layer.
