Structural Adjustment

Definition

Structural adjustment refers to significant, fundamental changes made to the underlying organization or operational mechanisms of a system. In digital asset contexts, this could involve substantial revisions to a blockchain protocol’s consensus mechanism, tokenomics, or governance model. These adjustments are typically implemented to improve scalability, security, decentralization, or economic viability. Such changes often require community consensus or a hard fork, reflecting the adaptive nature of decentralized systems. They represent efforts to optimize a system’s core design.
