Specifications for Status clients

This repository contains a list of specifications for implementing Status and its various capabilities.

Current state

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

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.
