A security token issuer must comply with a regulation that requires all token holders to be re-verified every 12 months. If a holder fails re-verification, their tokens must be frozen (not transferable) until they re-verify. Which smart contract design best achieves this?

Burn tokens of holders who fail re-verification

Maintain a verification status flag for each address and check it in the transfer function; if expired, block transfers

Use a multi-signature wallet to manually approve each transfer after re-verification

Rely on the exchange to freeze tokens off-chain
