In our commitment to transparency and innovation, we’re excited to introduce a major step in Pactus’s journey: the Pactus Improvement Proposals, or PIPs.
Pactus Improvement Proposals (PIPs) define standards for the ongoing development and enhancement of the Pactus platform. Each PIP has a unique number like PIP-2, PIP-3, and so on. These proposals provide technical details for suggested modifications or enactments, serving as a guide for development.
The PIP process is open, allowing any member of the Pactus community to propose a PIP. The author should provide a summary, motivation, and a detailed technical explanation. The Pactus Laboratory team will carefully review each PIP. Security considerations must be addressed before finalizing a PIP. Once finalized, it can be added to the code. This process helps avoid unexpected issues during development and maintain consistency and safety.
The Pactus Improvement Proposals (PIPs) was inspired by the Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) system, which had its roots in the Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) and Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs).
From now on, all major changes or new features in the Pactus project require a PIP. Any implementation must reference its specific PIP. Without approval from Pactus Laboratory team, changes won’t be approved and added to the codebase.
