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.
