Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs)

A Cardano Improvement Proposal (CIP) is a formalised design document for the Cardano community and the name of the process by which such documents are produced and listed. A CIP provides information or describes a change to the Cardano ecosystem, processes, or environment concisely and in sufficient technical detail. In this CIP, we explain what a CIP is; how the CIP process functions; the role of the CIP Editors; and how users should go about proposing, discussing and structuring a CIP.

The Cardano Foundation intends CIPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, collecting community input on an issue, and documenting design decisions that have gone into Cardano. Plus, because CIPs are text files in a versioned repository, their revision history is the historical record of significant changes affecting Cardano.

Note For new CIP, a reference template is available in .github/CIP-TEMPLATE.md

Cardano Problem Statements (CPS)

A Cardano Problem Statement (CPS) is a formalised document for the Cardano ecosystem and the name of the process by which such documents are produced and listed. CPSs are meant to complement CIPs and live side-by-side in the CIP repository as first-class citizens.

Note For new CPS, a reference template is available in .github/CPS-TEMPLATE.md

Communication Channels

Extend or discuss ‘ideas’ in the Developer Forums, Cardano’s Official Developer Telegram Group or in #developers in Cardano Ambassadors Slack.

CIP editors will review discussions and progress in bi-weekly meetings held on Discord, then transcribe and summarise them in the BikweeklyMeetings folder.

CIP Editors meetings are public, recorded, and published on Youtube: do join and participate in discussions/PRs of significance to you.

Note To facilitate browsing and information sharing for non-Github users, an auto-generated site is also provided at cips.cardano.org.
