EIP vs ERC

Type	Scope	Examples
EIP	Protocol-level changes (consensus, networking)	EIP-1559, EIP-4844
ERC	Application-level standards (tokens, wallets)	ERC-20, ERC-721

ERCs are a subset of EIPs. "ERC-20" and "EIP-20" refer to the same proposal.

Status Lifecycle

Draft -> Review -> Last Call -> Final
                             -> Stagnant (no activity 6+ months)
                             -> Withdrawn

Only Final status EIPs should be relied on for production code.
