Developer discussion about possible changes to the protocol.

Stellar Protocol

This repository contains Core Advancement Proposals (CAPs) and Stellar Ecosystem Proposals (SEPs).

Similar to BIPs and EIPs, CAPs and SEPs are the proposals of standards to improve Stellar protocol and related client APIs.

CAPs deal with changes to the core protocol of the Stellar network. Please see the process for CAPs.

SEPs deal with changes to the standards, protocols, and methods used in the ecosystem built on top of the Stellar network. Please see the process for SEPs.

Repository structure

The root directory of this repository contains:

• Templates for creating your own CAP or SEP
• contents directory with [cap | sep]-xxxx subdirectories that contain all media/script files for a given CAP or SEP document.
• core directory which contains accepted CAPs (cap-xxxx.md where xxxx is a CAP number with leading zeros, ex. cap-0051.md)
• ecosystem directory which contains accepted SEPs (sep-xxxx.md where xxxx is a SEP number with leading zeros, ex. sep-0051.md)
