Upgrade Strategies

Rolling
Changes applied incrementally across validator nodes. The network continues operating throughout the upgrade.
Canary
Changes applied to a limited subset of nodes first to validate behavior under live conditions before proceeding.
Blue-Green
Two parallel environments run simultaneously. Traffic is shifted at a defined point for near-zero downtime.
