## ParagonsDAO Improvement Proposals (PDIPs)

Any PDIP must meet a minimum criteria. It must be a clear and complete description of the proposed improvement/change, and must represent a net improvement with supporting analysis where required.

PDIPs are an adaptation of the EIP (Ethereum Improvement Proposal) process. The purpose of this framework is to ensure that a standard for implementing any core or fundamental changes to the DAO, its vision and roadmap are tabled in a consistent and transparent format. A PDIP is a document that provides the community about the proposed changes. The author of the PDIP is responsible for building and championing the proposal within the community while documenting any argument against the changes.

It is highly recommended that a single PDIP is concentrated on a single key proposal or new idea. This gives the proposal its best chance for success, as it prevents conflating ideas and allows a single point of focus for voters from the ParagonsDAO Community.

## ParagonsDAO Configuration Change Proposals (PCCPs)

Any PCCP must meet a minimum criteria. It must be a clear and complete description of the proposed improvement/change, and must represent a net improvement with supporting analysis where required.

PCCP documents outline the case for changing one or more of the modifying variables within an implemented PDIP. This allows a record of changes made to any PDIP configuration throughout the DAO’s history and the reasons for this change. The author of the PCCP is responsible for building and championing the proposal within the community while documenting any argument against the changes.

Before we combined our Paragons and Treasury Council, we also produced these Treasury-specific proposals

## Treasury Improvement Proposals (TIPs)

*Mirrors the naming convention of ParagonsDAO Improvement Proposals (PDIPs).*

The scope of TIPs includes new treasury considerations that do not arise as a result of a PDIP or PCCP.

For example, the Treasury Council has full accountability for the DAO’s liquidity provisions, investments, and compensation for contributors. So, past proposals/votes introducing new concepts around the liquidity we provide, how we direct our ETH, or introducing a new executive/developer incentive plan could be considered TIPs.

## Treasury Configuration Change Proposals (TCCPs)

*Mirrors the naming convention of ParagonsDAO Configuration Change Proposals (PCCPs).*

The scope of TCCPs includes adjustments to the specifications of TIPs that have been previously voted through.

For example, if the Treasury Council were to vote on changing our liquid staking provider from Lido to Frax, this could be outlined in a simplified TCCP that references the initial TIP.
