 *Semantically, think of "from" as meaning "instantiate from": This is more succinct than a `createFrom...` factory method which, if we have multiple ways of instantiation, can become verbose. E.g. `PrivateKey.fromWIF()` as opposed to `PrivateKey.createFromWIF()`. It also allows us to differentiate between actually "creating" something (e.g. a `Filesystem.createFile(...)`) versus "instantiating" a representation of a "thing".*
 
+#### Extending from Static Factory Methods
+
+If you anticipate that someone will `extend` a class and want to re-use your static factory method, this can be achieved as follows:
+
+```ts
+class YourClass {
+  // NOTE: The generic T extends typeof YourClass (so that we can return the correct type).:
+  static async from<T extends typeof YourClass>(
+    // NOTE: "this" as first argument is what technically, allows the extended class to instantiate correctly.
+    this: T,
+    params: SomeParams = {},
+  ) {
+    // NOTE: So that Typescript can type correctly, we perform a cast.
+    return new this(params) as InstanceType<T>;
+  }
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+Extended classes can then be instantiated seamlessly as follows:
+
+```ts
+class YourExtendedClass extends YourClass {
+  // ...
+}
+
+// This will now be an instance of YourExtendedClass without having to redefine the `from(...)` method.
+const yourExtClass = YourClass.from(...);
+```
+
+This adds quite a bit of confusing syntactic overhead, so only do this if you anticipate use-cases where extension is likely.
+
+### EventEmitter Patterns for BaseAdapters
+
+All BaseAdapters should extend EventEmitter. This design choice enables Stack components to work seamlessly with different frontend frameworks (vanilla JS, Vue, React, etc.) through a consistent event-based interface.
+
+1. State Management
+    Adapters in Stack should maintain minimal state. While backend flows typically operate procedurally (fetching data as needed), frontends often require reactive state updates for UI rendering.
+
+2. Framework Agnostic
+    Since reactive state handling varies across frameworks, we use event hooks rather than imposing specific state management patterns, allowing applications to handle higher-level state according to their framework (and product's) conventions.
+
+To illustrate how this might be used with VueJS:
+
+```ts
+// Create a reactive variable (Vue example)
+const isConnected = ref();
+
+// Initialize adapter
+const someAdapter = new SomeAdapter();
+
+// Bind adapter state to reactive variable
+someAdapter.on('isConnected', (isConnected) => {
+  isConnected.value = isConnected;
+});
+```
+
+```ts
+// Declare a reactive variable for unspents (Vue example)
+const unspents = ref([]);
+
+// Initialize the wallet
+const someWallet = await WalletHD.from(genesisData);
+
+// Hook into state updated event
+someWallet.on(
+  'stateUpdated',
+  async () => {
+    // Sync unspents to the reactive variable
+    unspents.value = await someWallet.updateUnspents(),
+  },
+  // (Optional) Debounce for 500ms to prevent excessive redraws
+  500
+);
+```
+
+**Note: While XO Wallet will provide convenience wrappers around these patterns, this represents the general approach to use in @xocash/stack.**
+
 ### Validations
 
 Check types with TypeScript - Runtime type-checking is a code smell. If the function accepts a string, assume it's been given a string. TypeScript definitions should expose improperly called functions to the developer at compile time, don't re-implement it at runtime.
@@ -112,6 +194,8 @@ There are a few exceptions to this:
 - If TypeScript's lack of dependant types makes validating certain properties of a type (e.g. the length of a Uint8Array), then runtime type-checking should be used to detect and return errors.
 - If we are working with a network (remote/untrusted) payload, Type Validation should be done with [Zod](https://www.npmjs.com/package/zod).

+#### Leverage Primitives Over Repeated Validation
 
+Avoid revalidation at every code-path: This is not only inefficient, but a giant code-smell. Instead, make use of Primitives as these provide assurances of correctness (Primitives are not just intended as a convenience - they are also intended to provide safety). For example, given a method:
+
+
+```ts
+// You can accept other types (this is a nice convenience).
+broadcastTransaction(transaction: Transaction | Uint8Array): Transaction {
+  // ... but always cast to the Primitive (to ensure correctness).
+  if(!(transaction instanceof Transaction) {
+    transaction = Transaction.from(transaction);
+  }
+
+  // ... use the Transaction primitive in follow up code.
+}
+```
