NKIPs

Process

  1. Open an issue describing the problem first.
  2. Send a PR adding nkips/nkip-XXXX.md with the header block used in NKIP-0001. Numbers are assigned by maintainers.
  3. Status moves Draft โ†’ Proposed (one reference implementation) โ†’ Final (two independent implementations). Final specs only get errata; changes go in a new NKIP.
  4. Each Standards Track NKIP ships a schema and test vectors, checked in CI.
