nonfunctional-requirements

Non-functional requirements for KDA-CE smart contracts are measurable criteria across performance, security, scalability, and compatibility that ensure contract quality and maintainability during design, development, deployment, and governance.

You can establish a gas budget by applying an NFR template to your contract module, specifying measurable performance criteria and validation methods to enforce gas efficiency limits across deployment pipelines.

Yes, you can enforce formal verification and cross-chain compatibility by defining specific NFR categories with measurable validation methods, integrating these checks directly into your deployment pipelines to audit compliance.

The best way to manage upgrade governance and schema evolution is through governance-guided NFR frameworks that define compatibility requirements, ensuring contracts remain maintainable and compliant across updates.

You validate contract modules against scalability limits and security properties by defining measurable NFR categories, then integrating compliance audits into your deployment pipelines to verify enforcement.
