We've started integrating Telegram/TON stickers into Sappy products to be used as limited edition emotes and expressions. This is the first time Stickers have been given "utility" and a purpose within a wider ecosystem beyond just Telegram itself. The thought came from the concept of limited edition skins...people in crypto have theorised about "interoperable skins and assets" but nobody has truly tried to implement them. With Telegram stickers in particular, they work great since there is no fundamental utility and they already have a pre-defined purpose within Telegram. That means you can monetize by having a purpose for these assets, and the premium markup they have becomes unquantifiable and not anchored to one specific product/platform -- an extremely important principle for digital veblen goods like CS skins for example. And as a buyer of these assets you know that whatever you buy throughout our ecosystem gets integrated across verticals, horizontally. There's no bagholder creation, and no tech or utility debt because they integrate very cleanly and simply into existing structures that most apps/platforms already use. Imagine a world where Telegram Stickers/Gifts become an interoperable asset over Telegram, Games, and custom Profile Pages on other crypto-native platforms. Sappy станет экосистемой номер один.
