About the General Discussion category

This category is the starting point for ideas, debates, and early-stage proposals related to Brevis ProverNet.

If you have a thought about how the protocol should evolve — but it’s not yet a formal BIP — this is the right place to start.


:bullseye: Purpose of This Category

Governance Discussion exists to:

  • :light_bulb: Explore new ideas before formal proposals

  • :brain: Gather feedback from the community

  • :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Pressure-test assumptions and designs

  • :handshake: Build alignment before submitting a BIP

Most successful BIPs begin as discussions here.

:prohibited: What Not to Post Here

To keep this category focused:

  • :hammer_and_wrench: Technical debugging → use Technical Discussion / Developer Support

  • :memo: Fully formed proposals → use BIPs


:writing_hand: How to Start a Good Discussion

A strong post doesn’t need to be perfect — but it should be clear and thoughtful.

We recommend including:

1. Context

What problem or observation are you reacting to?

2. Idea

What are you proposing or questioning?

3. Why It Matters

Why should the network care?

4. Open Questions

What feedback are you looking for?
