# KIPs

Kyoko Improvement Proposal (KIP) may be created and submitted by any community member who has sufficient proposition power. Its recommended to start with an [KRC](/token/governance/krcs.md) to gather feedback on the governance forums, then move to a snapshot poll to reach rough consensus then finally move to the KIP phase.

## 1. Writing a KIP

The KIP number will be assigned by a KIP reviewer, and the KIP status should start at `WIP` (Work In Progress). The KIP should include all the relevant information as well as links to the forum discussion and snapshot vote.

## 2. Preparing the KIP for on-chain governance

Once the KIP pull request has been polished and reviewed, it becomes ready for on-chain governance. This requires the following technical steps:

* The reviewed KIP is merged into the KIP repository.
* The reviewed KIP is parsed and created in snapshot.
* The payload is reviewed and sufficiently tested.

## 3. Submitting the KIP on snapshot vote

A community member with enough proposition power is now able to submit the KIP on snapshot vote.

Once a proposal has passed, changes will be implemented by Kyoko's protocol or operations team and signed by the multi-sig, if necessary.
