bLIP stands for Bitcoin Lightning Improvement Proposal. A bLIP is a design document
|
|
|
|
providing information to the Lightning community, or describing a new feature for
|
|
|
|
the Lightning Network. The bLIP should provide a concise technical specification of
|
|
|
|
the feature and a rationale for the feature. The bLIP author is responsible for

|
|
|
building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.
|
|
|
|
Importantly, if a feature is intended to become universal or near universal, it must
|
|
|
|
be a [BOLT](https://github.com/lightning/bolts).
