What Is an EIP?
EIP stands for Ethereum Improvement Proposal. EIP is a project document describing a new function of the Ethereum’s ecosystem. An EIP should provide a short tech specification of a function and grounds for its acceptance. An EIP author is responsible for reaching a consensus inside the community and documenting special opinions.
Any member of the Ethereum community may submit an EIP. All proposals are stored in a separate repository on GitHub (there are currently over 1,000 of them). EIP-1, the first EIP, was suggested in 2015 by a group of Ethereum developers that included Hudson Jameson and Martin Becze.

To Centralize or Not to Centralize: The Shakespearean Dilemma of Crypto Exchange Platforms
Exchange platforms are undoubtedly one of the pillars of the modern crypto industry. But the main paradox of distributed ledgers is that more than 99 percent of the transaction volume of cryptocurrencies passes through centralized exchange sites. That is why recently, more and more opinions are being heard in the crypto community about the need to move to 100-percent decentralized exchanges. Nevertheless, according to some experts, centralized sites are still the only possible solution for cryptocurrencies, and it is not only untimely but also pointless to talk about a large-scale transition to distributed exchanges.

Tezos: A Blockchain Paradise for the Libertarian
On September 17, the mainnet of Tezos, one of the most promising blockchain projects, was launched. The holders of the Tezos (XTZ) token, included in the top 20 cryptocurrency list, waited for this event for a whole year. The launch of the network marked the end of the beta testing period, which began on July 1. "The future of Tezos rests in the hands of its community," as the report said on the occasion. And this is not an exaggeration, as the concept is based on the idea that people should decide their own destiny independently without outside support.
