Everyone involved in blockchain development understands this frustrating reality: no matter how beautifully the protocol is initially designed, it can only accommodate the state at the launch moment. Once the system gains some real value, trouble will follow.
Over time, the original architecture begins to falter. Requirements change, code is modified, logic becomes increasingly complex, and historical data piles up. Developers who were once confident, after a year or so, dare not touch the core data structures—any slight change might erase historical records, shatter user trust instantly, and render all previous efforts meaningless.
The key question is: how to ensure data integrity and traceability while iterating the system?
There is a solution worth considering. By using an object model approach, data identity can always remain stable. The state can be gradually updated, but historical data is never overwritten, and every operation is transparent and auditable. Even more impressively, multiple nodes can read simultaneously and respond within seconds. This transforms historical data from a pile of dormant assets into an active resource that can be called upon at any time.
For developers, how important is this guarantee? It allows for truly worry-free system iteration, eliminating concerns over data compatibility. Critical information can be delivered with confidence, and future improvements no longer need to fear introducing issues.
Looking deeper, the core competitiveness of such solutions isn’t just about speed or low cost. What truly matters is that they give you confidence—enabling you not to fear system aging, and to genuinely turn data into long-term assets rather than a pile of silent, neglected history. This is the key to sustainable development.

Isn't this about database version control? In the past, those projects failed because of this...

Damn, you hit the nail on the head. Last time I changed a parameter and it crashed directly, I almost smashed my keyboard that day.

Doesn't that mean the data needs to be designed to be traceable, so that nothing is lost when changes are made... But the reality is that most projects didn't plan for this early on. When problems arise and they try to fix them, it's already too late.

So realistic, every time I modify the code, I feel like walking on thin ice, afraid of messing something up.

Damn, isn't this the thing we complain about every day? Change the data, and everything's ruined.
