What is the primary purpose of an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)?

To create a permanent record of all transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.

To provide a marketing channel for promoting new Ethereum-based projects.

To serve as a legal contract between Ethereum developers and users regarding network upgrades.

To provide a formal process for proposing and documenting changes to the Ethereum protocol or ecosystem standards.

A developer is evaluating whether to propose a new ERC for a novel token mechanism. They want to understand the differences between ERCs and core EIPs. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

ERCs focus on smart contract interfaces, while core EIPs may change consensus rules

ERCs can be proposed by anyone, while core EIPs require approval from the Ethereum Foundation

ERCs are a subset of EIPs that define application-level standards

Core EIPs typically require client implementation and network upgrade coordination

ERCs are automatically adopted by all Ethereum wallets and exchanges once finalized

A developer is creating a new token standard that includes features not covered by ERC-20, such as automatic rebasing. They want to ensure it is recognized as an official standard. What is the best approach?

Submit an EIP that changes the ERC-20 standard itself

Submit an ERC that extends ERC-20 with the new functionality

Create a new token standard without submitting an EIP

Use ERC-20 and add the rebasing logic in a separate contract
