EIP
An Ethereum Improvement Proposal: a document describing a proposed technical change or standard.
In more detail
EIPs give the Ethereum community a shared format for discussing technical ideas. A proposal can cover protocol behavior, an interface or another standard, and its status tells you where it stands. Seeing an EIP number in a project announcement doesn't mean Ethereum has adopted the feature or that the proposal is final.
How you might use it
“This uses a new EIP” sends you to the proposal’s status and specification, not straight to assuming every wallet already supports it.
