Aptos Improvement Proposals (AIPs)

Aptos Improvement Proposals (AIPs) are a way for the Aptos community to propose changes, improvements, and new features to the Aptos protocol. AIPs are designed to be a collaborative process that allows anyone in the community to contribute ideas and feedback.

AIPs are documented in the AIPs repository and are administered by the Aptos Foundation. Each AIP is assigned a unique number and goes through a rigorous review process before it is accepted or rejected.

What do AIPs cover?

AIPs can cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Node protocol changes - Mempool changes, consensus changes, etc.
• Framework (smart contract) changes - New modules, new functions, etc.
• Governance changes - Changes to the way the Aptos Foundation operates, changes to the way AIPs are processed, etc.

What is this section of the docs mostly about?

This section of the docs is mostly about AIPs that are relevant to developers and providing FAQs and quick information about them.
