apr 20, 2023 - STAMP Protocol

Description:

This proposal (CIP 26), looked to standardize a way in which the Counterparty Protocol dealt with the proccess of enabling the 'linking of a file to an asset via a stamp.'

The terminology and coding dynamics for a 'Stamp' or multiple Stamps connecting their data to a Counterparty asset was laid out in full in this proposal.

While CIP27 (STAMP Filesystem) is withdrawn as a CIP, this STAMP Protocol remains in the Counterparty Github as a Drafted proposal.

It is explained in the rationale of this proposal that while the 'Bitcoin Stamps spec first proposed the basic guidelines for how to create a stamp, but CIP26 'aimed to clarify the technical process to stamp a file to any asset, and remove any project-specific requirements from the protocol.'
