 ## DIP Types
+There are three types of DIP:
+  - A **Standard Track** DIP describes a change to the Dusk protocol or design; it affects all Dusk implementations and may require changes to the applications using Dusk (e.g., the wallets). A Standard Track DIP can fall into one of these categories:
+    - **Core**: includes changes to consensus rules, transaction or block data structures, the VM, or any other internal component;
+    - **Networking**: includes changes to the underlying P2P protocol and message structures;
+    - **Interface**: includes changes to node and contracts' ABI;
+  - An **Informational** DIP describes a Dusk design issue, or provides general guidelines or information to the Dusk community, but do not propose a new feature. Informational DIPs include standard definitions and best-practice recommendations to users and developers; while important, they are not part of the Dusk protocol and can be ignored without affecting the ability to use Dusk;
+  - A **Process** DIP describes a process surrounding Dusk, or a change to an existing process; they may propose an implementation, but no the Dusk's codebase; they can relate to the DIP process, to development procedures, or generally to the Dusk protocol governance; Process DIPs are not simple recommendations and user and developers are typically required to stick to their instructions.
