# Decentralized Climate Improvement Proposals (DCIPs)

The goal of the DCIP project is to standardize and provide high-quality documentation for Decentralized Climate itself and conventions built upon it. This repository tracks past and ongoing improvements to Decentralized Climate in the form of Decentralized Climate Improvement Proposals (DCIPs). [DCIP-1](dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/DCIPS/dcip-1) governs how DCIPs are published.

The [status page](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/) tracks and lists DCIPs, which can be divided into the following categories:

- [Core DCIPs](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/core) are improvements to the Decentralized Climate consensus protocol.
- [Networking DCIPs](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/networking) specify the peer-to-peer networking layer of Decentralized Climate.
- [Interface DCIPs](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/interface) standardize interfaces to Decentralized Climate, which determine how users and applications interact with the blockchain.

- [Meta DCIPs](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/meta) are miscellaneous improvements that nonetheless require some sort of consensus.
- [Informational DCIPs](https://dcips.decentralizedclimate.org/informational) are non-standard improvements that do not require any form of consensus.
