=== 1.1 Purpose ===

This Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document provides a detailed description of the Status SuperApp. It outlines the functional and non-functional requirements for developing a privacy-focused and crypto-centric application that combines secure messaging, financial services, and lifestyle features into a unified platform.

=== 1.3 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions ===

This document is intended for:
* Development Team: To understand technical requirements and implementation constraints
* Project Managers: To plan development phases and resource allocation
* Quality Assurance: To develop test plans and validation criteria
* UI/UX Designers: To understand interface requirements and user interaction flows
* Stakeholders: To verify that requirements align with project goals

=== 1.4 Product Scope ===

Status is a privacy-focused SuperApp, the User Interface is generalised, providing secure environment for displaying and managing modules (similar to a browser, shell or window manager) and an application market and module management platform, (similar to Steam, Google Play, App Store) but specialized for crypto and privacy-focused applications. The core Status application MUST:
* Provide a secure window/app management system for displaying UI modules and data generated by them
* Provide a secure marketplace for discovering, installing, and managing UI modules
* Enable a vibrant ecosystem of third-party module development
* Implement robust module verification and trust mechanisms
* Facilitate seamless integration between modules
* Manage user accounts, authentication, and module permissions
* Coordinate system-wide notifications and inter-module communication

All functionality (messaging, financial services, etc.) MUST be implemented as modules, with the Logos Microkernel serving as the secure foundation for their operation. Core modules like DApp Browser, Content Discovery and Account Management are bundled with Status, while the platform enables easy discovery and installation of third-party modules.

This mini operating system application market approach creates an open ecosystem where developers can create and distribute modules while maintaining high standards of privacy and security. Status acts as a trusted platform for users to discover and use various crypto-economy services, similar to how Steam or App Stores provide a trusted platform for applications.

The ultimate goal is to create an accessible and secure user interface to the Crypto-economy, fostering a thriving ecosystem of privacy-preserving applications.
