Accepted
No accepted SIPs right now.
Draft
All specifications are currently in heavy draft mode. The following SIPs are under consideration for standardization.
Prepending draft with x to indicate that they aren't accepted yet.
Desired:
- Protocol overview, including payloads and specific considerations
- Trust establishment
- Conversational security (PFS, etc)
- Transport privacy (Whisper, etc)
- Payload and messages
(x4-x8 is Oskar cutting things up into orthogonal pieces.)
Incubation
Things that are being researched and might show up as SIP in the future. See Big Brother protocol.

Later:
- Whisper better bandwidth (topic partition)
- Specific payloads for SNT use cases
- MLS
