IOTA Improvement Proposal (IIP) Repository

IIPs are improvement proposals for bettering the IOTA technology stack.

Building the IOTA ecosystem is a community effort, therefore we welcome anyone to propose, discuss and debate ideas that will later become formalized IIPs.

Propose new ideas

Do you have an idea how to improve the IOTA technology stack?

  • Head over to the discussions page to browse already submitted ideas or share yours!
  • Once your idea is discussed, you can submit a draft IIP (template here as a PR to the repository.
  • You will receive feedback from the IIP Editors, core devs and community members to refine your proposal.
  • Once accepted, your IIP is merged as Draft.
  • It is your responsibility to drive its implementation and to present a clear plan on how the new feature will be adopted by the network.
  • Once implementation is ready and testing yields satisfactory result, the IIP becomes Proposed.
  • Proposed IIPs that are supported by majority of the network become Active.

You may find more information about the IIP Process in IIP-1.

List of IIPs

  • Last updated: 2026-07-31
  • The Status of a IIP reflects its current state with respect to its progression to being supported on the IOTA Mainnet.
    • Draft IIPs are work in progress. They may or may not have a working implementation on a testnet.
    • Proposed IIPs are demonstrated to have a working implementation on the IOTA Devnet or Testnet.
    • Active IIPs are supported on the IOTA Mainnet.
    • Replaced IIPs have been replaced by a newer IIP.
    • Obsolete IIPs are no longer in use.

IOTA Improvement Proposal (IIP) Repository

IIPs are improvement proposals for bettering the IOTA technology stack.

Building the IOTA ecosystem is a community effort, therefore we welcome anyone to propose, discuss and debate ideas that will later become formalized IIPs.

Propose new ideas

Do you have an idea how to improve the IOTA technology stack?

  • Head over to the discussions page to browse already submitted ideas or share yours!
  • Once your idea is discussed, you can submit a draft IIP (template here as a PR to the repository.
  • You will receive feedback from the IIP Editors, core devs and community members to refine your proposal.
  • Once accepted, your IIP is merged as Draft.
  • It is your responsibility to drive its implementation and to present a clear plan on how the new feature will be adopted by the network.
  • Once implementation is ready and testing yields satisfactory result, the IIP becomes Proposed.
  • Proposed IIPs that are supported by majority of the network become Active.

You may find more information about the IIP Process in IIP-1.

List of IIPs

  • Last updated: 2026-07-31
  • The Status of a IIP reflects its current state with respect to its progression to being supported on the IOTA Mainnet.
    • Draft IIPs are work in progress. They may or may not have a working implementation on a testnet.
    • Proposed IIPs are demonstrated to have a working implementation on the IOTA Devnet or Testnet.
    • Active IIPs are supported on the IOTA Mainnet.
    • Replaced IIPs have been replaced by a newer IIP.
    • Obsolete IIPs are no longer in use.
