Polkadot Smart Contract Proposals (PSPs)

A Polkadot Smart Contract Proposal (PSP) describes standards for smart contracts in the Polkadot ecosystem. The Polkadot Smart Contract Proposal GitHub is a community-based initiative. The PSP process is not supposed to be a substitute for the Polkadot Governance process or the RFCs process.

Disclaimer: The Polkadot Standards Proposals have been renamed to Polkadot Smart Contract Proposals (PSPs). Everything else should be discussed as part of the RFCs process.

📋 Process

Below is the workflow of a successful PSPs:

1. Draft -> 2. Call for Feedback -> 3. Published -> 4. Integrated
  1. Draft: A valid draft, which is merged into the draft subfolder and actively improved together with the community.
  2. Call for Feedback: The PSP will be shared on different public channels for additional feedback for at least two weeks. The result of this step is either an acceptance of the standard (->Published) or a rejection (->Draft).
  3. Published: Any further changes are unlikely, and developers can start integrating the PSP.
  4. Integrated: The PSP is actively used, and a reference implementation exists.

In order to be merged or accepted for the different stages, reviewers need to approve a PR. Reviewers should be known experts in the topic covered by the PSP.

📝 Contributing

Before you start writing a formal PSP, you should discuss an idea in the various community public channels (see the Polkadot community website). A PSP should provide the motivation as well as a technical specification for the feature.

  1. Fork this repository.
  2. In the newly created fork, create a copy of the template.
  3. Fill out the template with the details of your PSP. If your PSP requires images, the images should be integrated into a subdirectory of the src folder, which has your PSP number as the name.
  4. Once you have completed the application, click on "create new pull request".
  5. Rename the file with "psp-number_of_your_pr.md".
  6. Update the pull request.
