Proxy contract
A contract that forwards calls to implementation code while retaining its own address and storage.
In more detail
A proxy lets users keep interacting with one address while another contract supplies the logic. Some proxy designs allow that implementation to change, which makes upgrades possible but adds an important permission question: who can make the change? Don't assume a familiar address means its behavior can never change.
How you might use it
The protocol announces an implementation upgrade; your position still sits at the same proxy address, but the logic handling it has changed.
