🌟 DIN Protocol Proposals (DPPs)

Welcome to the DPP Hub!

Welcome to the heart of innovation for the Decentralized Intelligence Network (DIN)! Here, the DIN community comes together to shape the future of our network. DIN Protocol Proposals (DPPs) are the key to driving progress, proposing new features, and suggesting improvements to the DIN protocol.

What is a DPP?

A DIN Protocol Proposal (DPP) is your blueprint for enhancing the DIN ecosystem. It’s a design document that details new features or changes to the DIN protocol, offering a clear technical specification and the rationale behind the proposal. Think of DPPs as the guiding documents for DIN’s evolution, akin to Ethereum’s EIPs.

Note: At DIN, we don’t use coin voting for decision-making. Instead, we champion a democratic, community-driven approach to ensure every voice is heard and valued.

Explore DPP Categories

DPPs are organized into distinct categories based on their impact and purpose:

• 🔧 Core DPPs:
  Dive into proposals that reshape the core of DIN, from tweaking consensus mechanisms to enhancing security protocols and privacy-preserving techniques.

• 🔗 Interface DPPs:
  Discover standards for seamless interactions within the DIN ecosystem. These proposals cover everything from data exchange protocols to APIs and communication norms between nodes.

• 📘 Informational DPPs:
  Get valuable insights and recommendations with our informational DPPs. These provide guidelines, best practices, and non-technical advice that support and enrich the DIN ecosystem without altering the core protocol.

Governance and Community Participation

In the spirit of digital democracy, DIN leverages tools like gov4git and Polis to empower community members and developers:

• gov4git:
  Contributions to the DIN ecosystem are rewarded indefinitely based on participation in gov4git. Tokens earned through contributions can be allocated according to DPP proposals, and community members can engage in quadratic voting to prioritize the importance of these proposals. The most critical proposals will be highlighted to steer community and developer focus. For more details and to get involved, visit gov4git on GitHub.

• POLIS:
  Contributions to the DIN ecosystem are supported through POLIS, a platform for collective decision-making. Engage with POLIS to participate in decentralized governance and help shape the future of the network. Tokens earned through contributions can be allocated according to community proposals, and you can use quadratic voting to emphasize the importance of these proposals. To explore POLIS and get involved, visit POLIS on GitHub and POLIS website.

The DIN community is committed to an experimental and evolving governance process that reflects the values of digital democracy. Everyone is encouraged to participate in shaping the future of the protocol.

🌟 DPP Lifecycle

1. Draft:
   A new DPP begins its journey as a draft. Here, the proposal is open for community input and revisions to refine its ideas.

2. Review:
   Once polished, the draft moves into the review stage. It undergoes a thorough evaluation by the DIN community and maintainers to ensure its quality and relevance.

3. Final:
   After a successful review and approval, the DPP is marked as final. It’s then implemented or adopted as a key component of the DIN protocol.

4. Rejection/Withdrawal:
   If a DPP doesn’t meet our standards or if the community opts not to proceed, it may be rejected. Authors can also withdraw a DPP at any point before it becomes final.

🚀 How to Contribute

Get involved in shaping the future of the DIN protocol by submitting your own DPPs! Here’s how you can make your mark:

1. Fork this Repository:
   Create your own copy by forking this repository to start drafting your DPP.

2. Create a New DPP File:
   Draft your proposal in a new markdown file. Follow the structure of existing DPPs to maintain consistency.

3. Submit a Pull Request (PR):
   When your DPP is ready, submit a pull request. Your proposal will be reviewed and discussed by the community.

4. Engage in Discussions:
   Join the conversations about your DPP. Community feedback is vital for refining and enhancing proposals.

🔢 DPP Numbering

Each DPP is assigned a unique number (e.g., DPP-1, DPP-2) for easy tracking and reference. Check out the DPP Index for a comprehensive list of all proposals.

📝 DPP Template

For consistency, please use the following template when drafting your DPP:

# DPP-<Number>: <Title>
