Add asset icons to the Market and Exchange #2390

Open TechsUsInc opened 5 years ago

TechsUsInc commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current method of listing market assets in the Exchange may or may not be an improvement compared to previous releases. It can be confusing, lead to mistakes, missed trades, or dissuade a user from trading at all, especially with so many new assets being added. Please see the rough mock up below.

Describe the solution you'd like Consider adding the asset icon to both the Market listings and the buy/sell orders for a better user experience, and less customer support issues. Placing the icon in the buy/sell orders helps direct the user towards their goal, and visually confirms their intentions.

I placed three icons on both the buy and sell sides, which may or may not be excessive but I think it helps provide affirmation to the user that they are in their intended market. Probably the most helpful being placed in the buy/sell fields as shown which clearly shows the gain or loss by clicking buy or sell (maybe both icon pairs should be present, but I think just the one removes any doubt).

Many assets don't have logos/icons though, including the thousands of UIA created by users.

In a way that quickly raises the bar and indirectly shows a level of project commitment. Most assets with any volume or interest sorted in the market already have icons. Those that don't have any volume usually don't have an icon either. If an asset doesn't have an icon, it would simply be black (blank).

Plus, that opens an opportunity for icons to be created and sold to those that either don't have an asset icon and/or don't know how to make one. It could be added to the Fee list.

The community member that creates the icon gets a percentage of BTS, the platform gets a percentage of BTS, and the user gains an asset icon for marketing and visibility.

Possibly implemented in a similar way?

Payment for icon creation is outside the scope of this project. Asset issuer and designer can short it out amongst themsevles and get a PR against the asset_symbols folder done.
