This repository contains proposals, standards and documentations related to Nervos Network.
The RFC (Request for Comments) process is intended to provide an open and community driven path for new protocols, improvements and best practices, so that all stakeholders can be confident about the direction of Nervos network is evolving in.
RFCs publication here does not make it formally accepted standard until its status becomes Standard.
Not all RFCs are standards, there are 2 categories:
- Standards Track - RFC that is intended to be standard followed by protocols, clients and applications in Nervos network.
- Informational - Anything related to Nervos network.
The RFC process attempts to be as simple as possible at beginning and evolves with the network.
Before submiting a RFC pull request, you should proposal the idea or document to Nervos RFCs Chatroom or Nervos RFCs Mailing List.
After discussion, please create a pull request to propose your RFC:
Copy
0000-templateasrfcs/0000-feature-name, wherefeature-nameis the descriptive name of the RFC. Don't assign an number yet.
Nervos RFCs should be written in English, but translated versions can be provided to help understanding. English version is the canonical version, check english version when there's ambiguity.
Nervos RFCs should follow the keyword conventions defined in RFC 2119, RFC 6919.
The maintainers of RFCs and the community will review the PR, and you can update the RFC according to comments left in PR. When the RFC is ready and has enough supports, it will be accepted and merged into this repository.
An Informational RFC will be in Draft status once merged and published. It can be made Final by author at any time, or by RFC maintainers if there's no updates to the draft in 12 months.
A Standards Track RFC can be in 1 of 3 statuses:
- Proposal (Default)
- Standard
- Obsolete
A Standards Track RFC will be in Proposal status intially, it can always be updated and improved by PRs. When you believe it's rigorous and mature enough after more discussions, you should create a PR to propose making it a Standard.
The maintainers of RFCs will review the proposal, ask if there's any objections, and discuss about the PR. The PR will be accepted or closed based on rough consensus in this early stage.
