A Maker Improvement Proposal (MIP) is a document that regulates and defines the behavior of Maker Governance, MakerDAO, or the Maker Protocol. They are standardized documents voted upon by Maker Governance. MIPs can be amended and removed.
The Maker Improvement Proposal Framework (MIP0) defines the Maker Improvement Proposals (MIPs) Framework for all subsequent MIPs to utilize.
The MIP Framework currently consists of 17 MIPs. Recent changes introduced by the Endgame have deprecated a large batch of MIPs (hence the seemingly haphazard numbering) and locked the framework in place by disallowing the creation of new MIPs. However, the existing MIPs can be amended.
The MIP Framework currently comprises 17 MIPs, out of which five (marked with an asterisk) have been set to be deprecated.
| MIP | Description |
|---|---|
| MIP0: Maker Improvement Proposal Framework | Defines the Maker Improvement Proposals (MIPs) Framework for all subsequent MIPs to utilize |
| MIP16: The Weekly Governance Cycle | Defines and formalizes the Weekly Governance Cycle to provide a predictable weekly framework for Maker governance decisions |
| MIP24: Emergency Response | Defines emergency and urgent situations for the Maker protocol, as well as the process for handling them |
| * The Core Unit Framework MIP Set (MIP38, MIP39, MIP40, MIP41) | The Core Unit Framework MIP Set is a set of MIPs that defines the structure of Core Units |
| MIP51: Monthly Governance Cycle | Defines a monthly Governance Cycle that provides a predictable framework for Maker governance decisions |
