Technical debt represents the deferred cost of choosing an easier, but suboptimal, solution during software development instead of applying the best possible approach. This accrues over time, making future changes or additions more difficult and costly. It can lead to decreased efficiency, increased maintenance burden, and potential system instability.
Context
In blockchain and digital asset development, technical debt can manifest as shortcuts in protocol design or smart contract implementation, potentially introducing security vulnerabilities or limiting future scalability. Addressing this debt is crucial for long-term project viability and security, often requiring significant refactoring or protocol upgrades. The pressure for rapid innovation sometimes contributes to its accumulation.
