🐞 Bugs

Report a bug by creating an issue in the related XMTP GitHub repo. Please confirm that there isn't an existing open issue about the bug and include detailed steps to reproduce the bug.

✨ Feature requests

Request features by creating an issue in the related XMTP GitHub repo. Please confirm there isn't an existing open issue requesting the feature. Let us know which use cases the feature can unlock so that we can investigate and prioritize.

🔀 Pull requests

We encourage pull requests (PRs) from the community, but we suggest that you start with a feature request or a post to the XMTP Community Forums just to do a temperature check. For example, if the PR involves a major change to the XMTP protocol, it must be fleshed out as an XMTP Improvement Proposal before work begins.

If your PR to a repo in the XMTP or Ephemera GitHub org is merged you're eligible to claim this XMTP contributor POAP.

XMTP Improvement Proposals

XMTP Improvement Proposals (XIPs) propose and document updates to XMTP, which may become standards for XMTP clients and applications to adopt.

Is there something your app needs that the protocol doesn’t currently support? Consider creating an XMTP Improvement Proposal (XIP).

Here’s a template you can use to create one.

Take a look at existing XIPs. XIPs are meant to reflect the needs of the XMTP developer community and benefit from your input and expertise.
