Request for Comments (RFC)

RFC stands for Request for Comments. It is a social device use to float and polish an idea prior to the inclusion into an existing or new spec/paper/research topic.

An RFC should not be used for bug reports or trivial discussions - the overhead of compiling an RFC does not justify it.

An RFC should not consist only of a problem statement (use a standard issue for that).

A RFC should consist of:

  • Changelog
  • Context on the relevant goals and the current state
  • Proposed Solution
  • Summary of pros and cons
  • References

If recorded decisions turned out to be lacking, convene a discussion, record the new decisions here, and then modify the code to match.

Note the context/background should be written in the present tense.

Some RFC's will be presented at a Tendermint Dev Session. If you are an outside contributor and have submitted a RFC, you may be invited to present your RFC at one of these calls.
