+### `Ipfs-Gateway-Features` (response header)
+
+Optional, this header SHOULD be only returned in response to HTTP `OPTIONS` request.
+
+The value is a list of key-value pairs, as specified by the 5.6.1. Lists section of :cite[rfc9110].
+
+Each feature is indicated by a key and optional value. When more than one value is supported, `|` is used as a separator.
+For example:
+
+```
+Ipfs-Gateway-Features: foo, bar=1, buzz=a|b|c
+```
+
+A Gateway SHOULD use this header to communicate support for specific Gateway feeatures, enabling clients to make better decisions on how to retrieve data.
+
+A Gateway MAY define and return their own features.
+
+A Client MUST send HTTP OPTIONS request to inspect this header before performaning any more expensive feature-detection.

+
+## Summary
+
+Add ability to query HTTP Gateway for an explicit list of supported features.
+
+## Motivation
+
+A Gateway always ships with an opinionated set of supported hash functions and
+IPLD codecs, and the differences between implementations will grow over time.
+
+For example, some legacy gateways may not support newly added features like
+`dag-scope` and `entity-bytes` from :cite[ipip-0402] or the ability to get some
+block ordering guarantees introduced in :cite[ipip-0412]. Future IPIPs may add
+more features and response formats.
+
+We need a light mechanism for clients to detect which gateway supports partial CARs
+
+## Detailed design
+
+This IPIP introduces a set of HTTP headers returned in response to `OPTIONS` request:
+
+The `Ipfs-Gateway-Features` header is used for signalling support for specific Gateway features to the client.
+
+The lack of the header, or missing key-value pair within the header means support status is unknown.
+
+Initial list of key-value pairs is documented in `Ipfs-Gateway-Features` section of :cite[path-gateway]
+
+## Design rationale
+
+There is a good prior art for this in web browsers where HTTP `OPTIONS` method
+is used in [CORS Preflight request](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Preflight_request)
+that checks if the CORS protocol is understood and a server is aware using
+specific methods and headers.
+
+The `OPTIONS` request if often sent by web browser anyway, so we would not be
+introducing much overhead.
+
+### User benefit
+
+Reduced cost for both client and gateway. Sending `OPTIONS` request will be
+very inexpensive, especially when compared with current status quo where a
+client has to send at least one request to probe a specific feature like
+support forp Blake3 hash function or `dag-scope` or `entity-bytes`.
+
+This translates to decreased latency and ability to choose the best retrieval
+strategy faster.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+This IPIP is fully backward-compatible with browsers and existing IPFS
+ecosystem. Gateways already return CORS headers with `OPTIONS` responses, we
+will simply return additional headers with the same responses.
+
+:::issue
+
+For JavaScript running on web pages to be able to read `Ipfs-Gateway-Features`
+header it MUST be safelisted via `Access-Control-Expose-Headers`.
+
+:::
+
+### Security
+
+This IPIP does not introduce any new security concerns. Probing gateway for
+supported features and hash functions is already possible via regular `GET`
+requests.
+
+### Alternatives
+
+- Exposing the list of suported features via `GET /.well-known/ipfs/gateway/features-TBD` would also work, but:
+  - introduces surface for path-related deployment bugs, where Nginx is only exposing `/ipfs` namespace – in such case signaling endpoint would not be exposed to the public internet
