This category is for technical UMA Improvement Proposals.

Such proposals may include

- adding a new collateral type
- adding a new price identifier
- adding or upgrading a contract

Proposals should include the summary of the UMIPs in the text description and a link to the Pull Request in the [UMA UMIP github repository](https://github.com/UMAprotocol/UMIPs/tree/master/UMIPs), where a review process will take place to ensure the technical accuracy of the proposal and that it is sufficently secure at a technical level.

There are no requirements for a discourse poll for technical UMIPs, and comments on technical umips should be primarily made in github, however more general comments are welcome on the discourse
