📃KIP Proposal Template

Please use the following Google Doc Template when creating a proposal.

Abstract - Two or three sentences that summarize the KIP.
Category - It must belong to one or more categories detailed below.
Motivation - A statement on why the Kinto community should implement the KIP.
Rationale - A brief explanation (few paragraphs) of how the KIP aligns with the Kinto community's mission and guiding values.
Key Terms (optional) - Definitions of any terms within the proposal that are unique, new to the Kinto community, and/or industry-specific.
Specifications - A detailed breakdown of the platforms and technologies used.
Steps to Implement - The steps to implement the KIP, including associated costs, manpower, and other resources for each step where applicable. To avoid doubt, any KIPs involving transactions with third parties (such as grants) must also ensure that appropriate legal documentation and procedures are included.
Timeline - Relevant timing details, including but not limited to start date, milestones, and completion dates.
Overall Cost - The total cost of implementing the KIP.

As a recommended guideline, the KIP author can add additional fields to any template if necessary to fully communicate the KIP's intentions, specifics, and implications.

Each KIP must also clearly specify which Governed Chain(s) it will affect (this may be defined by code, data, or text, as appropriate for the specific KIP).

Resubmitted KIPs

As a recommended guideline, resubmitted KIPs should also include:

A link to the original KIP;
Reasons such original KIP was not approved;
Changes that have been made and why it should now be approved; and
Any additional fields to any template, if necessary, to fully communicate the changes made and the intentions, specifics, and implications of such resubmitted KIP.
