From the README
ATTENTION: The EIPs repository has recently undergone a separation of ERCs and EIPs. ERCs are now accessible at https://github.com/ethereum/ercs. All new ERCs and updates to existing ones must be directed at this new repository. The editors apologize for this inconvenience.
The goal of the EIP project is to standardize and provide high-quality documentation for Ethereum itself and conventions built upon it. This repository tracks past and ongoing improvements to Ethereum in the form of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). EIP-1 governs how EIPs are published.
The status page tracks and lists EIPs, which can be divided into the following categories:
Before you write an EIP, ideas MUST be thoroughly discussed on Ethereum Magicians or Ethereum Research. Once consensus is reached, thoroughly read and review EIP-1, which describes the EIP process.
Please note that this repository is for documenting standards and not for help implementing them. These types of inquiries should be directed to the Ethereum Stack Exchange. For specific questions and concerns regarding EIPs, it's best to comment on the relevant discussion thread of the EIP denoted by the
discussions-totag in the EIP's preamble.
