I've bought this bike new about 10 months ago. No issues until now, only the fact that my tires (tubeless) lately have constant white foam like this:
Now I have to pump up my tires every day before I ride, but the bike is still usable through the day even for long rides.
Now I know that I should take it to a shop, but I want to know what to expect there, would it be a difficult and expensive job?
Thanks!

it appears to be tire sealant doing its best to seal punctures in the tire. Did you happen to ride the bike while it was under-inflated, perhaps a lot? If so, you may have caused significant damage to the tire. You may be out the cost of a new tire.

I would guess that that is the goo inside the tire oozing out. You have apparently developed multiple holes in the side of the tire. This could be due to having a really cheap tire, or it could be due to some sort of abuse, such as riding with excessively low pressure.

Are these the tires that have been on the bike the whole time, did you just add sealant or has it always been in there as well? Some tires when setting them up tubeless for the first time tend to leak from the sidewalls and "tubeless compatible" tires require a layer of sealant to build up before being completely air tight. This is normal for a lot of tires mounted tubeless for the first time, it is not normal if you have had the tires and the sealant mounted for the entire 10 months.

Modern tubeless bicycle tires require a sealant to be added to the inside of the tire. If a small leak develops the sealant seeps out, meets air, solidifies and seals the leak. I believe this arrangement has become popular because earlier tubeless standards like UST required heavier tires.
The white foam dots you see is the tubeless tire sealant leaking out of holes in the sidewalls of the tire, and failing to seal them completely seems.
what's fascinating is the pattern of holes in the sidewall, I've never seen anything like that before. I think commenters on on your question are correct, there's possibility you have damaged the sidewall by riding with excessively low pressure which has folded the sidewalls at an acute angle.
Refreshed sealant may solve the problem - sealant loses effectiveness over time. A new tire will definitely fix it. Replacing sealant or a tire is not difficult and is relatively inexpensive, depending on the the replacement tire you choose. I'd go for a replacement tire, as replacing the sealant will involve the same amount of work and labor cost as replacing the tire.
While you are at the bike repair shop, have the rear wheel checked for trueness , you may have suffered some impacts with the tire underinflated. Also, think about getting yourself a pump with a pressure gauge to avoid future problems if you have been under inflating the tire.

Are these the tires that have been on the bike the whole time, did you just add sealant or has it always been in there as well? Some tires when setting them up tubeless for the first time tend to leak from the sidewalls and "tubeless compatible" tires require a layer of sealant to build up before being completely air tight. This is normal for a lot of tires mounted tubeless for the first time, it is not normal if you have had the tires and the sealant mounted for the entire 10 months.
