+Sticker Market Swarm Proposal
+===
+
+## Summary and Goals
+
+Stickers are a must-have for any messenger, particularly with Asian markets in mind.
+
+The goal of the Status sticker market is two-fold:
+
+1) Allow users to buy and use stickers in chat using SNT.
+2) Allow creators to sell stickers permissionlessly through a curated marketplace, for SNT.
+
+For the initial scope, the focus is on use case #1.
+
+We can commission a set of stickers to populate the marketplace starting out.

+## Communication
+
+`status channel`: #313-sticker-market
+
+`sync schedule`: biweekly sprint planning, ad hoc meetings as needed
+
+`Meeting notes:` https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnotes.status.im%2FwyjNCxeURu6lYSwWGh3biw&sa=D&ust=1545051619127000&usg=AFQjCNGFgvurpaS4HBPB0Y3s5pR5HLiQWA
+
+## Research 
+
+`Timing`: wrap on 21/12
+
+`References`: LINE & Kakao are two of the best sticker markets. Looking at these two alone can give ample guidance on great sticker market UX. Telegram another worthy reference.
+
+`Initial stories to inform technical research`:
+- As a user, I want to view and select stickers from my stickers within a chat.
+- I want to send and receive stickers in chat.
+- I want to buy new stickers via a marketplace accessible from chat.<br>
+--<br>
+- As a creator, I want to push my stickers to the market without waiting for approval.
+- I want my stickers to be hosted in a decentralized way.
+- I want my stickers to be protected from free use/stealing.
+
+`Research questions`:
+- What are the pros & cons of implementing as an extension vs. native feature?
+- Does one smart contract handle...?
+    - Price setting
+    - Payment from users
+    - Payout to creators
+- Which audience are we designing these stickers for? How should character design be informed?
+- What's the cost to commission 1-3 initial sticker packs?
+- Sticker usage:
+    - How many sets do people own on average?
+    - How many do they use?
+    - What makes certain characters popular?
+    - etc.
