Architectural Refinement

Definition

Architectural refinement refers to the process of improving the design and structure of a system, particularly in software or protocol development. This involves making deliberate modifications to enhance performance, security, scalability, or maintainability without fundamentally altering the system’s core purpose. In blockchain and digital asset contexts, such refinements are often critical for adapting to evolving demands and addressing identified limitations. These changes are usually implemented through upgrades or new versions of existing protocols.
