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.
Context ∞ Crypto news regularly reports on the progress and debates surrounding specific Ethereum Improvements, particularly those related to the network’s transition to Proof-of-Stake and subsequent scaling efforts. Key discussions involve the technical feasibility, economic impact, and governance challenges associated with implementing significant protocol changes. Future developments focus on EIPs aimed at data availability sampling and account abstraction.
