What Is an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)?
An Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) is a document that outlines proposed changes to the Ethereum network. It can be used to propose new features, improvements or bug fixes for the platform. The EIP process allows developers and users of the Ethereum network to collaborate on improving its functionality and security.
The EIP process begins with an individual submitting their proposal in a GitHub repository. This proposal will then be reviewed by other members of the community who may suggest modifications or additions before it is accepted as an official EIP. Once approved, these proposals are implemented into future versions of the software, allowing everyone using Ethereum to benefit from them. In addition, any user can submit feedback about existing proposals which helps ensure that all stakeholders have their voices heard when making decisions about how best to improve the platform going forward.
