README
Creating equitable access to the global financial system
Stellar Protocol
This repository is home to **Core Advancement Proposals** (CAPs) and **Stellar Ecosystem Proposals**
(SEPs).
Similar to [BIPs](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips) and [EIPs](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs),
CAPs and SEPs are the proposals of standards to improve the Stellar protocol and related client APIs.
CAPs deal with changes to the core protocol of the Stellar network. Please see [the process for CAPs](core/README.md).
SEPs deal with changes to the standards, protocols, and methods used in the ecosystem built on top
of the Stellar network. Please see [the process for SEPs](ecosystem/README.md).
## Repository structure
The root directory of this repository contains:
* Templates for creating your own CAP or SEP
* `contents` directory with `[cap | sep]-xxxx` subdirectories that contain all media/script files for a given CAP or SEP document.
* core directory which contains accepted CAPs (`cap-xxxx.md` where `xxxx` is a CAP number with leading zeros, ex. `cap-0051.md`)
* ecosystem directory which contains accepted SEPs (`sep-xxxx.md` where `xxxx` is a SEP number with leading zeros, ex. `sep-0051.md`)
