# Defining an IIP Illuvium Improvement Proposals (IIPs) serve a similar purpose, ensuring that proposed changes to the Illuvium ecosystem are transparent and well-governed. An IIP is a design document that provides information about a proposed system change to the Illuvium community. The author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions. Improvements implemented through IIPs may include: * New contracts * New systems * Expansions * Character sets --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
