Software Engineering

Definition

Software engineering is the systematic application of engineering principles to the design, development, maintenance, and testing of software. In the digital asset domain, this discipline involves creating robust, secure, and scalable code for blockchain protocols, smart contracts, decentralized applications, and related infrastructure. It addresses the challenges of building complex, distributed systems that must operate with high reliability and resistance to attack. This field is foundational to the creation and ongoing operation of all digital assets and blockchain networks.
