Smart contracts need disaster recovery in v1, not later

Original: Smart contracts: Ship the parachute in v1

A new essay argues that upgradeability and disaster recovery mechanisms should be built into smart contracts from the first version, rather than deferred to later releases. The author uses the metaphor of shipping the parachute in v1, warning that deploying immutable contracts without recovery options leaves users exposed to irreversible losses and exploits.

Why now: It taps ongoing debate in the blockchain developer community over balancing immutability with safety mechanisms after repeated high-value contract exploits.
