The problem STIX solves

It establishes a creator economy centered on onchain stickers integrated into our own client on Farcaster as well as Telegram. Traditional stickers, such as Line stickers, are permanent, challenging for IP owners and creators to collaborate on, and act as a money sink. With STIX, we make stickers tradable and collectible, increasing their value for creators, IP owners, and consumers.

Additionally, we are planning features that allow creators to design stickers for various NFT projects and enable NFT holders to create sticker sets using these templates with their NFTs. This approach will encourage increased usage of intellectual property (IP) and facilitate profit sharing between the creators and IP owners. Furthermore, consumers will also be able to collect and trade limited edition sticker packs.

Challenges we ran into

We encountered the challenge of Farcaster's chat feature not being live to the public yet. Therefore, we had to use replies to the feed to showcase the stickers for now.
