# Dex Enhancement Proposal
|
|
|
|
## Why do we need it?
|
|
|
|
Dex Enhancement Proposal (DEP) is a design document providing information to the community, or describing a new feature for Dex.
|
|
|
|
We intend DEPs to be the primary mechanisms for proposing major new features or significant changes to existing ones.
|
|
This will make it easier for the community to describe, track, and look through the history of changes that affected the development of the project.
|
|
|
|
