## FIP: Farcaster Improvement Proposal

An FIP, or Farcaster Improvement Proposal, is a process for building consensus around protocol changes. FIP’s are inspired by [Ethereum’s EIPs](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1) and [Python’s PEPs](https://peps.python.org/pep-0001/). Anyone can write an FIP to propose a change to:

1. A process, like the protocol’s release schedule
2. A standard, like URIs for onchain assets
3. An implementation, like adding a new protocol feature

Read more about FIP’s in [FIP-0: A proposal for making proposals](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/82). Proposals are made and ratified on the [discussions board](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/). A list of finalized FIPs can be found [here](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol/discussions/categories/fip-stage-4-finalized).
