Code Refactoring Strategy

A code refactoring strategy is a planned approach to restructuring existing code to improve its maintainability, readability, and security without changing its external behavior. In the context of financial protocols, refactoring is often necessary to reduce technical debt, optimize gas usage, or prepare the codebase for new features.

The strategy involves identifying "code smells," prioritizing areas that pose the highest risk, and implementing changes in a controlled, tested manner. This ensures that the system remains agile and secure as it evolves.

By systematically cleaning up the codebase, developers reduce the likelihood of future bugs and make it easier for new contributors to understand and audit the system. It is a critical component of long-term protocol management.
