People wishing to submit BIPs, first should propose their idea or document to [http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/bitcoin-development/ the mailing list]. After discussion they should email Greg Maxwell <gmaxwell@gmail.com>. After copy-editing and acceptance, it will be published here.

<references />
We are fairly liberal with approving BIPs, and try not to be too involved in decision making on behalf of the community. The exception is in very rare cases of dispute resolution when a decision is contentious and cannot be agreed upon. In those cases, the conservative option will always be preferred.
 
Having a BIP here does not make it a formally accepted standard until its status becomes Active. For a BIP to become Active requires the mutual consent of the community.
 
Those proposing changes should consider that ultimately consent may rest with the consensus of the Bitcoin users (see also: [[economic majority]]).

A Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) is a design document for introducing features or information to Bitcoin. This is the standard way of communicating ideas since Bitcoin has no formal structure.

The first BIP (BIP 0001) was submitted by Amir Taaki on 2011-08-19 and described what a BIP is.

Types

There are three types of BIPs:

  • Standards Track BIPs - Changes to the network protocol, block or transaction validation, or anything affecting interoperability.
  • Informational BIPs - Design issues, general guidelines. This type of BIP is NOT for proposing new features and does not represent community consensus
  • Process BIPs - Describes or proposes a change in process. Similar to Standards BIPs but apply outside the Bitcoin protocol.

Layers

BIP 0123 established four layers for Standards BIPs:

  1. Consensus[1]
  2. Peer Services
  3. API/RPC
  4. Applications

Workflow

As described in BIP 0001 the workflow of a BIP is as follows:

List of BIPs

Notes

  1. ↑ Further divided into hard and softforks.
