EIP 101: EIP = Ethereum Improvement Proposal It's like a blueprint or upgrade request for Ethereum. • Want to change how gas fees work? • Add new NFT features? • Fix bugs in the protocol? → You write an EIP. Think of it as Ethereum’s version of a suggestion box, but serious. 🔗http://eipsinsight.com

Who Writes Them? Anyone can write an EIP… • But only well-reasoned, well-structured ones go through. • Core devs, protocol researchers, even community members propose them. And no, they’re not always boring 😎 (EIP-20 gave us ERC-20 tokens 👀)

What’s Inside an EIP? Most EIPs follow a structured format: • Abstract – TL;DR • Motivation – Why this matters • Specification – The meat (code/logic) • Rationale – Design reasoning • Backwards compatibility • Bonus: References, copyright, test cases.

Lifecycle of an EIP: Every EIP goes through stages: 🐣 Draft → Review → Last Call → Final (or Rejected) It’s reviewed by editors, discussed by the community and finally accepted or declined. (EIPs are community-reviewed upgrades.)

Bonus Think of Ethereum like an open-source spaceship. Every EIP is a proposed upgrade... a new engine, better dashboard or solar shields. The community reviews them, tests them and decides if they go live.
