# Crisis
WARNING
Paloma's crisis module inherits from the Cosmos SDK's crisis
(opens new window) module. This document is a stub and covers mainly important Paloma-specific notes about how it is used.
The crisis module stops block production by halting the blockchain when an invariant is broken. Invariants are set during the initialization process.
# ConstantFee
Because the gas cost of verifying an invariant is high, the crisis module utilizes a constant fee instead of the typical gas calculation method.
# Genesis parameters
The genesis parameters for the crisis module outlined in the Genesis Builder Script (opens new window) are as follows:
# Crisis: change constant fee to 512 GRAIN
genesis['app_state']['crisis']['constant_fee'] = {
'denom': DENOM_GRAIN,
'amount': '512000000',
}
