Additional information required for a PIP:

  • Context: What’s the modification and why it’s needed.
  • Technical implementation: Highlight the technical implementations of this proposal if any.

PIPs are the most critical and important types of proposals, as it’s directly about the core products or a major change in constitution/ governance framework. For this reason, we should consider more conservative parameters than other categories:

  • Admin: Team multisig
  • Quorum: 20% of the hPAL total supply
  • Voting duration: 7 days
