Exchange Improvement Proposals (EIPs)

Introduction to EIPs

Exchange Improvement Proposals (EIPs) are central to the governance model of Brilliant Diamond Exchange, serving as the primary mechanism through which changes and improvements can be proposed and implemented within the ecosystem. EIPs allow community members, token holders, and other stakeholders to submit proposals for improvements or modifications to the exchange's protocols, infrastructure, or policies.

Creation and Debate of EIPs

  1. Proposal Submission:

    • Any token holder can submit an EIP by creating a detailed document that outlines the rationale, technical implementation, benefits, and potential risks associated with the proposed change.

    • The proposal must be submitted via the official Brilliant Diamond Exchange format and comply with the submission guidelines to ensure consistency and quality.

  2. Community Debate:

    • Once an EIP is submitted, it is published on the Brilliant Diamond Exchange's Telegram channel for open debate and discussion among the community.

    • This period allows for feedback, questions, and suggestions from other community members, which the proposal author can incorporate to refine and improve the EIP.

    • The debate phase is crucial for vetting the viability and desirability of the proposal through community engagement.

On-Chain Voting

  1. Transition to On-Chain Voting:

    • Following the community debate period, the revised and finalized EIP transitions to on-chain voting, where token holders vote to accept or reject the proposal.

    • This voting is conducted via the Brilliant Diamond Exchange's blockchain platform, ensuring transparency and security in the decision-making process.

  2. Voting Requirements and Quorum:

    • Pre-SAFT 1: A quorum of 15% of the total token supply is required for a vote to be valid, ensuring that a significant portion of the community is involved in early governance decisions.

    • Post-SAFT 1: The required quorum increases to 19% following the first SAFT, reflecting the increased distribution and stakeholder base.

    • Post-SAFT 2: After the second SAFT, the quorum further increases to 20%, establishing a more substantial community consensus for passing proposals.

Implementation of Successful EIPs

  • Approval and Implementation:

    • If an EIP achieves the necessary quorum and a majority vote in favor, it is approved and moves to the implementation phase.

    • The development team at the Brilliant Diamond Exchange then works to integrate the changes into the exchange, guided by the technical specifications and timelines outlined in the EIP.

  • Monitoring and Evaluation:

    • Post-implementation, the effects of the EIP are monitored against the expected outcomes stated in the proposal.

    • This evaluation helps in assessing the impact of the EIP and informing future proposals.

Conclusion

EIPs are a foundational aspect of governance at the Brilliant Diamond Exchange, ensuring that the platform remains adaptive, community-driven, and transparent. Through the structured process of creation, debate, voting, and implementation, EIPs foster continual improvement and refinement of the exchange's operations and services.
