.. Title: Specifications and Zcash Improvement Proposals What are ZIPs? -------------- Zcash Improvement Proposals (ZIPs) are the way to: * propose new features for the `Zcash cryptocurrency <https://z.cash/>`__ and their rationale, * specify the implementation details of the feature, * collect community input on the proposal, and * document design decisions. Contributing ------------ The authors of a ZIP are responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting / addressing dissenting opinions. Anyone can write a ZIP! We encourage community contributions and decentralization of work on the Zcash protocol. If you’d like to bounce ideas off people before formally writing a ZIP, we encourage it! Visit the `ZcashCommunity Discord chat <https://discord.gg/kdjfvps>`__ to talk about your idea. Participation in the Zcash project is subject to a `Code of Conduct <https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md>`__. The Zcash protocol is documented in its `Protocol Specification <rendered/protocol/protocol.pdf>`__ `(dark mode version) <rendered/protocol/protocol-dark.pdf>`__. To start contributing, first read `ZIP 0 <zips/zip-0000.rst>`__ which documents the ZIP process. Then clone `this repo <https://github.com/zcash/zips>`__ from GitHub, and start adding your draft ZIP, formatted either as reStructuredText or as Markdown, into the `zips/` directory. For example, if using reStructuredText, use a filename matching ``zips/draft-*.rst``. Use ``make`` to check that you are using correct `reStructuredText <https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html>`__ or `Markdown <https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown>`__ syntax, and double-check the generated ``rendered/draft-*.html`` file before filing a Pull Request. See `here <protocol/README.rst>`__ for the project dependencies. NU7 Candidate ZIPs ------------------ The following ZIPs are under consideration for inclusion in NU7: - `ZIP 226: Transfer and Burn of Zcash Shielded Assets <zip-0226.rst>`__ - `ZIP 227: Issuance of Zcash Shielded Assets <zip-0227.rst>`__ - `ZIP 230: Version 6 Transaction Format <zip-0230.rst>`__ - `ZIP 231: Memo Bundles <zip-0231.rst>`__ - `ZIP 233: Network Sustainability Mechanism: Burning <zip-0233.rst>`__ - `ZIP 234: Network Sustainability Mechanism: Issuance Smoothing <zip-0234.rst>`__ - `ZIP 235: Network Sustainability Mechanism: Burn 60% of Transaction Fees <zip-0235.rst>`__ - `ZIP 2002: Explicit Fees <zip-2002.rst>`__ - `ZIP 2003: Disallow version 4 transactions <zip-2003.rst>`__ - `ZIP 2004: Remove the dependency of consensus on note encryption <zip-2004.rst>`__ In addition, `ZIP 317: Proportional Transfer Fee Mechanism <zip-0317.rst>`__ may be updated. This list is only provided here for easy reference; no decision has been made on whether to include each of these ZIPs. `ZIP 254: Deployment of the NU7 Network Upgrade <zip-0254.rst>`__ will define which ZIPs are included in NU7.
