SPV wallets, like some mobile wallets, rely on simplified verification methods to confirm transactions without downloading the entire blockchain. They can adapt to hard forks more easily, as long as the underlying protocol changes are considered in wallet updates.

The term "underlying protocol" typically refers to the foundational communication protocol used in a network or system. For example, the Internet's underlying protocol is the Internet Protocol (IP), which enables data to be transmitted between devices.
