About EIPs for Designers
EIPs for Designers is a reference platform for product teams and UX designers who need to understand how Ethereum, ERC, and Monad standards shape real interfaces. It translates protocol language into design-relevant questions, patterns, states, and anti-patterns so teams can make technical behavior legible to people.
What this reference covers
The catalog includes Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), Ethereum Requests for Comments (ERCs), and Monad Improvement Protocols (MIPs) when they affect what a person sees, signs, sends, owns, or recovers in a product. Browse by problem, user journey, or standard ID. Detailed entries can include a concise explanation, UX implications, state and vocabulary notes, related standards, source links, and an agent-ready export.
How to use it
Use this site to frame product decisions and make protocol dependencies visible during planning, design reviews, and implementation. Start with the problem or journey that matches the flow you are designing, then open the relevant standard. Check the status, freshness, and official source before treating a proposal or deployment detail as current. This reference explains implications; it does not replace the canonical specification or security review.
- Choose By Problem when the UX challenge is already known.
- Choose By Journey when you are mapping a complete user flow.
- Choose an agent brief when an AI coding or design tool needs explicit guardrails.
Who maintains the reference
EIPs for Designers is built and maintained by the Monad Foundation. The project is data-as-code: standards and detailed guidance live in the repository, are serialized into human and machine-readable surfaces, and are updated through reviewable changes. Monad is called out where chain behavior changes the design implication; the reference still distinguishes Monad-specific observations from standards that apply across Ethereum-compatible environments.
