An interchain standard (ICS) is a design document describing a particular protocol,
standard, or feature expected to be of use to the Cosmos ecosystem.
An ICS should list the desired properties of the standard, explain the design rationale, and
provide a concise but comprehensive technical specification. The primary ICS author
is responsible for pushing the proposal through the standardisation process, soliciting
input and support from the community, and communicating with relevant stakeholders to
ensure (social) consensus.

The interchain standardisation process should be the primary vehicle for proposing
ecosystem-wide protocols, changes, and features, and ICS documents should persist after
consensus as a record of design decisions and an information repository for future implementers.
