2019-07-12 03:17:30 +00:00
As of July 2019, we are currently in the process of documenting current
specifications. We are als implementing an isolated reference library for them.
These specifications are expected to be frozen at the Status V1 launch and be
used as a reference point for client implementers and security audits.

## Protocol Research

2019-07-12 03:17:30 +00:00
These are protocols that are currently being researched. These are designed to
be useful outside of Status as well. To the extent that these protocols are used
within Status clients, they will show up as SIPs in the future.
