Arrow Improvement Proposals (AIPs) describe standards for Arrow, including operational and governance procedures.
- First step is to review AIP-001.
- Then clone the AIP repository and add your AIP to it. Template for new AIPs can be found here.
- Then submit a Pull Request to Arrow's AIP repository.
AIPs are separated into a different types.
Operational - Describes a change that affects the day-to-day operations for Arrow DAO contributors or any of its Pods.
Governance - Improvements related to the governance of Arrow DAO.
Informational - Provides general information or guidelines to the Arrow community.
Protocol - Improvements relevant to protocol design or which require core contract changes.
Draft - The first tracked stage of an AIP in development. A Draft AIP is merged by an AIP Editor into the AIP repository once properly formatted.
Review - Reached once an AIP Author marks an AIP as ready for Review. This period is concluded with a community sentiment poll, prior to inclusion in the AIP repo and final token vote to affirm implementation.
Last Call - a short period where AIP document is prominently displayed as the final proposal that will be voted on if no substantial changes are requested.
Final - A Final AIP exists in a state of finality and should only be updated for spelling or grammar corrections and additional context, not for consequential changes.
Stagnant - Any AIP in Draft or Review which is inactive for too long is moved to Stagnant. An AIP may be resurrected by simply requesting this status change from an AIP Editor.
Withdrawn - The AIP Author(s) have withdrawn the proposed AIP. This state has finality and can no longer be resurrected using this AIP number. If the idea is pursued at a later date it is considered a new proposal.
Living - A special status for AIPs that are designed to be continually updated and not reach a state of finality. This includes most notably AIP-001 (AIP Purpose & Guidelines).
Obsolete - An Obsolete AIP has been replaced, superseded or removed.
