The Ethereum Improvement Proposal repository

Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs)

Before you initiate a pull request, please read the EIP-1 process document. Ideas should be thoroughly discussed on Ethereum Research or Ethereum Magicians first.

This repository tracks ongoing improvements to Ethereum. It contains:

• The EIP status page, tracking protocols for Ethereum clients and applications
• The process document that governs how protocols are published here

For help implementing an EIP, please visit Ethereum Stack Exchange.

Mission

The goal of the EIP project is to document standardized protocols for Ethereum clients and applications and to document them in a high quality and implementable way.

Preferred Citation Format

The canonical URL for a EIP that has achieved draft status at any point is at https://eips.ethereum.org/. For example, the canonical URL for EIP-1 is https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1.

Please consider anything which is not published on https://eips.ethereum.org/ as a working paper.

And please consider anything published at https://eips.ethereum.org/ with a status of "draft" as an incomplete draft.

Automerger

This repository contains an "auto merge" feature to ease the workload for EIP editors. Pull requests to any EIP will be auto-merged if the EIP's authors approve the PR on GitHub. This is handled by the EIP-Bot.

Validation

Pull requests in this repository must pass automated validation checks:

• HTML formatting and broken links are checked using html-proofer.
• EIP front matter and formatting are checked using EIP Validator.

It is possible to run the EIP validator locally:

cargo install eipv
eipv <INPUT FILE / DIRECTORY>
