Smart Contract Modularity
Smart contract modularity is the design practice of breaking down a large, complex system into smaller, independent, and reusable components. Instead of building a monolithic contract, developers create specialized contracts for different functions like collateral management, order matching, and oracle interaction.
This approach improves maintainability, allows for easier auditing, and enables the protocol to be upgraded without migrating the entire system. In the context of derivatives, modularity is essential for integrating new features or adapting to regulatory changes while keeping the core financial logic secure and transparent.
