   A fintech company is deploying a smart contract that automates the settlement of tokenized securities.

The team is debating whether to use a single large contract or a proxy pattern with upgradeable logic. Which consideration is most critical for this use case?

   • AThe need to use an oracle to fetch off-chain data, which is only possible with a proxy pattern.
   • BThe requirement to make the contract immutable to satisfy securities regulations.
