DIPs

DIP stands for Devcon Improvement Proposal. A DIP is a proposal put forth by members of the community describing a desired new feature or process to improve Devcon. A DIP should be concise and provide as much information as possible as well as a rationale for the proposal. The DIP author is responsible for making the case for a proposed DIP, and community members will be able to comment on it. It is up to the Devcon Team to choose which proposals are considered, reviewed, and accepted.

Planetscape had **20 levels**, **254 players**, [**1300** transactions][ps:transactions] to the smart contract, and **7 teams** finished the game and claimed their prize.
