QCIPs
QuantumCoin Improvement Proposals (QCIPs) propose standards for the QuantumCoin Platform, including core protocol specifications, quantum resistance, consensus and transport.
Submit your proposals in any of the community social media channels including Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Twitter etc. You can also submit a Pull Request directly to QuantumCoin's QCIPs Github repository.
Stages of a QCIP
- Idea - An idea that is pre-draft. This is not tracked within the QCIP Repository.
- Draft - The first tracked stage of a QCIP in development.
- Development - This QCIP represents a proposal that is being actively developed by the community.
- Completed - A proposal that has been developed or implemented and is live.
- Withdrawn - The Community-Proposer(s) have withdrawn the proposed QCIP.

QCIP Types
QCIPs are separated into a number of types, and each has its own list of QCIPs.
Describes any change that affects most or all QuantumCoin implementations, such as a change to the network protocol, quantum resistance, cryptography, consensus, a change in block or transaction validity rules, proposed application standards/conventions, or any change or addition that affects the interoperability of applications using QuantumCoin. Furthermore Standard QCIPs can be broken down into the following categories.
Consensus
Proposals to the consensus model of QuantumCoin, including proof-of-stake, validation, slashing, attestations and so on.
Transactions
Transaction improvements to the QuantumCoin blockchain including gas price, gas per block changes, TPS and so on.
Payments
Payments using the QuantumCoin Platform, processors, PoS, ATM and so on.
Platform
Platform level improvements such as new functionality, solving real world problems and so on.
Cryptography
Improvements to the post-quantum cryptography scheme using in the QuantumCoin blockchain.
