<p>Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including core protocol specifications, client APIs, and contract standards.</p>

<h2>Contributing</h2>
<p>First review <a href="EIPS/eip-1">EIP-1</a>. Then clone the repository and add your EIP to it. There is a <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/eip-X.md">template EIP here</a>. Then submit a Pull Request to Ethereum's <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs">EIPs repository</a>.</p>

<h2>EIP status terms</h2>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Draft</strong> - an EIP that is open for consideration.</li>
  <li><strong>Accepted</strong> - an EIP that is planned for immediate adoption, i.e. expected to be included in the next hard fork (for Core/Consensus layer EIPs).</li>
  <li><strong>Final</strong> - an EIP that has been adopted in a previous hard fork (for Core/Consensus layer EIPs).</li>
  <li><strong>Deferred</strong> an EIP that is not being considered for immediate adoption. May be reconsidered in the future for a subsequent hard fork.</li>
