Mina will use off-chain governance in line with Ethereum’s model and will also use Mina Improvement Proposals, or MIPs. The foundation sets governance standards and intends MIPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing new features, collecting community input on an issue, and documenting design decisions that have gone into Mina. MIPs are described thus: <br><br> An MIP is a design document providing information to the Mina community, describing a new feature for Mina, or changes to the parameters of the protocol. The MIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for its inclusion in the protocol. The MIP author is responsible for championing their proposal, building consensus within the community and incorporating feedback.
