Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs) List

BIPs
#1

This list of BIPs is included for informational purposes only and given the shared history between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core implementations.
The source of information for this post is https://github.com/bitcoin/bips.
Up to date, each BIPs’ status in this list corresponds to Bitcoin Core implementation as they appear at the source of information.
We will update these statuses shortly in reference to Bitcoin Cash implementation.
This list is part of the initiative to experiment and learn about BIPs mechanisms and identify if it is relevant to apply them to CHIPs, with all the case modifications.
This forum does not participate or discuss aspects specific to Bitcoin Core implementation’s development. For these purposes, please refer to the previous link.

A third table is coming with information that will display which implementations support which BIPs/CHIPs

@BigBlockIfTrue, great source of information!
I was actually talking about that document with @freetrader a couple of hours ago.
Exploring that document makes me think with some nostalgia that we should have started the CHIP initiative at the exact moment of BCH’s inception.
That would have saved us some troubles down the road, I guess.
I would very much like to be able to map the last four years of BCH development in the form of CHIPs, both for easy access and posterity.
Moreover, it would help us solve the problems of having obsolete BIPs that are partially implemented (some aspects of them) without any associated CHIP replacing them, as with BIP 0009 or BIP 0147.

I want to take the opportunity to offer my help and support to anyone responsible for the last four years of BCH development to the creation and submission of corresponding CHIPs.

Most changes have good specification documents already, see https://upgradespecs.bitcoincashnode.org/

Notable exceptions are the cryptographic aspect of Schnorr signatures (based on an older version of BIP340, but we did not properly fork BIP340 at that time) and reorg protection.

For BCHN implementation status we have an overview similar to our BIP implementation status:
