Introduce "traits" to digit collections

Introduce "traits" to digit collections - starting with 100k club collection

Background:

Digits have proven to be both a leader and anchor for the ENS ecosystem, bringing in significant liquidity and maintaining high trade volumes. Unlikely this will change
The creation of clubs (999, 10k, 100k) has been a clear catalyst, which proves that continued focus on market-making for digits is a big opportunity to grow the market-cap of ENS
100k club is the sleeping giant. Large supply, relatively low entry price (disproportionately low), and minimal renewal fees while still being only a 5 Digit number - makes it the best bet for broader adoption and extremely significant transaction volume within ENS. But currently most of the 5D transaction volume is at floor price, which is a missed opportunity for a collection with 100,000 supply

Proposal and Rationale:

Within each digit collection, there is a clear variation of market value driven by number "patterns" - palindromes, repeating digits, zeros, consecutive numbers etc .. it's human nature and will continue to define market values
These patterns aren't necessarily ENS categories/clubs. They're more like traits that can apply to different categories, be clearly defined based on metadata, and create rarity bands that contribute to further market-making within each category/club eg. "Palindrome" could be a trait within 100k club, giving it a 0.001% rarity (999/100,000 supply)
Creating these trait definitions would significantly contribute to market-making within each category by increasing/defining variations and improving supply visibility, thereby creating clearer price differences/floors and encouraging more trading. Especially with collections like 100k club where most volume of trade is at the floor, which is a missed opportunity for a 100,000 supply collection that could (and technically does) have multiple floors

What this could look like:

Opensea style trait bubbles for Digit domains, starting with 5D as a pilot
Trait definitions can be defined mathematically and scraped from metadata and new traits can be added over time, similar to how new categories/clubs are being added
An added trait could be the "trait count" of a domain, acting as a value multiplier and gamifying the marketplace further eg. 58885 could have an extra "2 Trait" trait, vs 58185 having only 1 trait
Some examples of traits based on what the ENS space current values:
1. Palindromes
2. Doubles
3. Triples
4. Multiple Zeroes
5. Bookend Zeros (0xxx0)
6. Consecutive digit runs - 3, 4 and 5
7. 69s
8. 420s All of these traits can be mathematically identified and tagged using metadata, and supply % will naturally drive variations in market value through trading

The more data there is to differentiate domains within a collection, the more interesting the collection is to trade. The more interesting it is to trade, the more volume of transactions and liquidity brought into the collection.
