Technical discussions for collaborative research
Witness DePIN Improvement Proposals (WDIPs) serve as a structured means to initiate and discuss proposals for research and development within the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) space.
What is Witness Chain?
Witness Chain is an open platform designed to run proof systems for fundamental attributes of DePINs, including but not limited to location, network capacity, compute, and storage.
Why are WDIPs Needed?
WDIPs are crucial for the following reasons:
- Innovation and Collaboration: They provide a basis for discussing research and development, fostering innovation and collaboration in the DePIN space.
- Research Discussions: Proposers can use WDIPs to discuss the utilization of the Witness Chain platform to host new proof systems relevant to various physical attributes of their projects.
- Development Proposals: They allow for proposing development changes that enhance the DePIN ecosystem’s composability and overall functionality.
- Technical Advancement: WDIPs are intended to be technical, promoting the growth and advancement of the DePIN ecosystem as a whole.
When to Post in Witness DePIN Improvement Proposals vs General
- Witness DePIN Improvement Proposals: This category is for technical and research-oriented discussions. It is the place for proposers and community members to collaboratively discuss the development of new proof systems, modifications to existing proofs, or the integration of existing proofs with new projects.
- General: This category is for broader community discussions. Topics may include the potential of DePINs, community suggestions to Witness Chain contributors, and other general matters related to the platform.
By clearly distinguishing between these categories, we can ensure that discussions are appropriately focused and productive.
