A Lisk Improvement Proposal (LIP) is a design document providing information to the Lisk community, or describing a new feature for Lisk or its processes or environment. The LIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature.
We intend LIPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, for collecting community input on an issue, and for documenting the design decisions that have gone into Lisk. The LIP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
Because the LIPs are maintained as text files in a versioned repository, their revision history is the historical record of the feature proposal.
