Hashgraph Improvement Proposals
Hashgraph Improvement Proposals (HIPs) define the specification used by the main Hashgraph
Consensus Nodes. These proposals can range from core protocol changes such as the gRPC API and
blockchain definition, to the applications, frameworks, and protocols built on top of the
Hashgraph public network and used by the community. The HIP author is responsible for building
consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions, as well as tracking their
HIP through the process.
