Contributing

If you plan to add a new Abax Improvement Proposal (AIP) follow this guide:

1. Fork this repository by clicking 'Fork' in the top right.

2. Install the project dependencies: npm install. Note the repository works with Node v16.

3. Create a new aip folder with a following name proposals/[PROPOSAL_NUMBER]_[Topic]/[Topic].md. The topic shall follow snake case convention. For example, if you are creating a new AIP for a new feature, you would create a folder proposals/05_some_new_aip/ and a file proposals/05_some_new_aip/some_new_aip.md following the aip template.

4. If the proposal requires Proposal contract, the source code for Proposal Contract can be collocated with the AIP in the proposals/ directory. The Proposal contract should be contained in a folder inside of the AIP's proposal directory. For example, proposals/05_some_new_aip/proposal_[Topic].

5. Each Proposal that involves a Smart Contract shall contain a link to subscan to a deployed version of the Proposal SC build using verifiable option.

6. Submit a Pull Request (PR) to the main.

If your AIP requires images, the image files should be included in a subdirectory of the assets folder for that AIP as follow: proposals/[PROPOSAL_NUMBER]_[Topic]/assets (for AIP some_new_aip it would be proposals/05_some_new_aip/assets). When linking to an image in the AIP, you must use the full url for the raw content, for example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AbaxFinance/abax-proposals/main/proposals/05_some_new_aip/assets/image.png.
