Soft fork

Definition: A soft fork is a protocol-rule change designed so upgraded rules remain compatible with blocks accepted by participants enforcing a broader previous rule set, under the specific consensus model involved.

Bitcoin has used soft forks for several protocol upgrades, including SegWit and Taproot activation mechanisms.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval benefits from supported network upgrades only to the extent its transaction and address logic remains compatible with the resulting protocol behavior.

Important: Wallet support for a feature can lag protocol activation, so network support and feature support are not identical concepts.
