# Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs)

[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/ethereum/EIPs?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)
**Before you initiate a pull request**, please read the [EIP-1](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1) process document. Ideas should be thoroughly discussed on [Ethereum Research](https://ethresear.ch/t/read-this-before-posting/8) or [Ethereum Magicians](https://ethereum-magicians.org/) first.

Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including core protocol specifications, client APIs, and contract standards. **Browse all current and draft EIPs on [the official EIP site](https://eips.ethereum.org/).**
This repository tracks ongoing improvements to Ethereum. It contains:

**Before you initiate a pull request**, please read the [EIP-1](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1) process document.
- The [EIP status page](https://eips.ethereum.org), tracking protocols for Ethereum clients and applications
- The [process document](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1) that governs how protocols are published here

Once your first PR is merged, we have a bot that helps out by automatically merging PRs to draft EIPs. For this to work, it has to be able to tell that you own the draft being edited. Make sure that the 'author' line of your EIP contains either your GitHub username or your email address inside \<triangular brackets>. If you use your email address, that address must be the one publicly shown on [your GitHub profile](https://github.com/settings/profile).
For help *implementing* an EIP, please visit [Ethereum Stack Exchange](https://ethereum.stackexchange.com).

## Project Goal
## Mission

The Ethereum Improvement Proposals repository exists as a place to share concrete proposals with potential users of the proposal and the Ethereum community at large.
The goal of the EIP project is to document standardized protocols for Ethereum clients and applications and to document them in a high quality and implementable way.

# Validation
## Automerger

EIPs must pass some validation tests. The EIP repository ensures this by running tests using [html-proofer](https://rubygems.org/gems/html-proofer) and [eipv](https://github.com/lightclient/eipv).
This repository contains an "auto merge" feature to ease the workload for EIP editors. Pull requests to any EIP will be auto-merged if the EIP's authors approve the PR on GitHub. This is handled by the [EIP-Bot](https://github.com/ethereum/EIP-Bot).

## Validation

Pull requests in this repository must pass automated validation checks:

* HTML formatting and broken links are [checked](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/.travis-ci.sh) using [html-proofer](https://rubygems.org/gems/html-proofer).
* EIP front matter and formatting are [checked](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/.github/workflows/auto-merge-bot.yml) using [EIP Validator](https://github.com/ethereum/eipv).

It is possible to run the EIP validator locally:
```sh
cargo install eipv
eipv <INPUT FILE / DIRECTORY>
```

# Automerger

The EIP repository contains an "auto merge" feature to ease the workload for EIP editors. If a change is made via a PR to a draft EIP, then the authors of the EIP can GitHub approve the change to have it auto-merged. This is handled by the [EIP-Bot](https://github.com/ethereum/EIP-Bot).

Nit: why do these need to be indented?

This renders so that the code fence is part of the step.

Without indenting, the code fence is not semantically part of the list of instructions.
