[Feature] Domain Background Marketplace

TL;DR Domain Background Marketplace - where users can personalize their .sol domains with exclusive backgrounds purchasable only in $SNS. This creates new token utility, drives .sol registrations, and opens revenue opportunities for creators. Two background types: free general backgrounds + limited paid editions (priced in $SNS) Strong $SNS utility: All purchases require $SNS; Backgrounds can be tied to domains or minted as NFT New-user flywheel: new or secondary domain buyers receive a free limited background or discount, boosting registrations and marketplace activity Community content engine: .sol holders submit designs, vote, and creators earn revenue shares Artist partnerships: onboard ecosystem projects + Web2 artists nominated by the community Referral incentives: gift backgrounds/ earn rebates/ SNS Points (off-chain) Benefits: stronger token demand, richer identity expression, more creator engagement, enrich .sol ecosystem This proposal introduces a Domain Background Marketplace, where SNS community members can acquire exclusive domain backgrounds that are payable only in $SNS. Despite strong adoption of .sol domains, visual personalization remains underdeveloped. This mechanic not only increases token demand, allows SNS community to style their .sol domain, also integrates artistic collaboration, allowing SNS to bridge Web3 natives with creators. By tying revenue to .sol domains, we could create a self-sustaining model that aligns artist incentives with SNS growth. Objective Enhance SNS ecosystem by creating community-driven marketplace for limited-edition domain backgrounds Empower SNS community to nominate talent to generate revenue through artist commission tied to their domains Core Concepts Marketplace Mechanic Background Types and Supply Background could be divided into 2 categories: General Background (Free mint, unlimited) and Paid Background (Buy with $SNS, limited editions). Each background is a unique digital asset, mintable as NFT or tied directly to a user’s .sol domain for display and social blast. $SNS Only Transactions All purchases require $SNS tokens with no support for $SOL or stables. Suggesting price tiers: 1500 - 3000 $SNS Tokens per background, scaled by rarity/ circulation. Domain-to-Background Upsell Loop (For new registrations) Create a closed loop flywheel between .sol domain acquisition and the limited background background, every .sol new domain registration (primary mint) or secondary market purchase automatically unlock the following: 1x Free limited-edition background mint (from ‘Welcome Drop Pool’) OR X% discount code (redeemable once) for any premium background in the background marketplace It incentivises both new registrations and secondary trading, drives immediate $SNS utility post-purchase. *Marketing angle suggestion: → ‘12 Exclusive backgrounds per year’ (’Welcome Drop Pool’) Mint cost: 0 $SNS, gas fee only - requires holding .sol domain Supply: Unlimited supply during eligibility window (e.g. 30days post-registration), burned and retired* Content Engine Community-Created Backgrounds (SNS Ideas) - Primary Content Engine “Lego Ideas” for .sol - User-generated drops, Community-voted, Low Risk. It solves a potential bottleneck: Not enough pro creators to collab. Enable .sol holders to: Submit custom background artwork Community voting on Realms Launch limited-drops with e.g. 25-30% revenue to the creator It could maximise the underutilized creativity and content power from the community, slower viral growth. Risk Mitigation Filter NSFW/ gore, Copyright theft, Low quality backgrounds Marketing Boost Weekly challenges → Enter a challenge and join other creators from around the world in showing off your brilliant backgrounds and receive prizes Leaderboard and Socials Shout-out Optional Future Layer: Secondary Royalties 2.

Initial target: 5-10 artists per quarter E.g. MonkeDao custom background as POC Revenue Model: E.g. Artists receive 25-30% split of sales in $SNS, directly distribute to their .sol wallets. It could create direct link between creation and ownership - artist must acquire or mint a .sol domain to participate Referral Mechanic Leverage the existing referral system to create closed-loop incentive for SNS community Referrer gifts a domain background or invites Referee to claim background→ Earns: $SNS rebate OR Off-chain “SNS Points” (redeemable for future perks) Referral Bonus $SNS Tokens Free Background Mint Rebates are recycled $SNS from marketplace revenue ($SNS token to buy background).
