Ethereum Improvement

Definition

An Ethereum Improvement refers to a proposed modification or upgrade to the Ethereum protocol. These proposals, known as Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), describe new standards, core protocol specifications, or changes to the network’s functionality. EIPs undergo community discussion and review before potential implementation through a network upgrade, or hard fork. Their purpose is to enhance scalability, security, efficiency, or user experience within the Ethereum ecosystem.
