What is EIP? EIP-20, 4337, 721, 137 and more Explained

EIP stands for Ethereum Improvement Proposal. EIPs are proposals that suggest new features or processes for the Ethereum network. They include technical details for the proposed changes and are considered the definitive source of information for the community. The development and discussion of network upgrades and application standards for Ethereum occur through the EIP process. Any member of the Ethereum community can create an EIP as per the guidelines mentioned in EIP-1. An EIP should provide a precise technical specification with minimal motivation. The EIP's author is in charge of gathering community consensus and documenting divergent viewpoints. Due to the technical expertise required to submit a well-formed EIP, most authors have historically been developers of applications or protocols.
