[Created by MattoH]
We created a CIP overview list based on what was adopted at Catalyst.
The CIP is Cardano’s most important document, but no overview has been compiled. So you have to read very long sentences just to know what they are talking about.
Therefore, I created it to increase the chances of people casually becoming interested in CIP!
Please let me know if you have any corrections for misleading expressions and English nuances.
Below is just a summary. Check the spreadsheet above for details.
