Smart contract upgrades affect user trust through perceived reliability and transparency. This study analyzes upgrade modes (e.g., proxy patterns, modular design) and their impact on trust metrics. Proxy upgrades, while flexible, risk centralization if not governed transparently. Modular designs enhance trust by isolating critical functions. Surveys reveal users prefer audited, time-locked upgrades with community voting. The research guides developers in adopting trust-maximizing upgrade strategies for DeFi and governance protocols.
