StargazeSTARS Token Distribution and Airdrop
Stargaze is one of the first NFT markets to launch in the Cosmos ecosystem. Cosmos is a network of custom interoperable blockchains. It is currently the second largest ecosystem by volume, and includes Terra, Cosmos Hub, Thorchain, and Osmosis. Stargaze aims to be a decentralized NFT market, totally owned and governed by its users. Therefore, distribution of STARS has to be equitable, accessible, and cover a large surface area.Token Release ScheduleA fair initial distribution is pivotal in se...
StargazeStargaze Names: A Cosmos IBC Name Service
OverviewThere have been a few name service experiments in Cosmos, but none of them have really gotten much adoption. This is because names, like Internet domain names, need a well established use case and have to be integrated into the rest of the infrastructure. Internet domains don’t make sense if websites don’t exist. Likewise, web3 names don’t make sense unless they can be used somewhere. On Ethereum, ENS didn’t really take off until NFTs gained traction.

It’s been an insane few months since Stargaze launched on Oct 29, 2021. We first outlined a phased launch plan in this post, and have successfully completed Phase 1 and Phase 2.
To recap what the Stargaze community has accomplished since launch:
Take a loan from the Osmosis Community Pool
Perform an LBP on Osmosis with the loan
Pay back the loan with STARS
Transfer half the liquidity back to the Stargaze community pool
Enable inflation via community vote
Launch a staking and voting interface
Launch ATOM/STARS pool on Osmosis
Fund external incentives on both liquidity pools on Osmosis
Open IBC connections to Sifchain, Juno, BitCanna, Osmosis, and Gravity Bridge
Enable Airdrop via community vote
Launch official Keplr integration
Add Stargaze in the official Keplr iOS and Android apps
Mintscan block explorer integration
Integration into Cosmosation wallet
Launch airdrop claim interface
Partnership with Vulcanize to build CosmWasm NFT indexing
Upgrade Stargaze blockchain to v2
Most of the above are part of bootstrapping the network to add liquidity to the market and distribute the token. The rest are tooling and infrastructure needed to support the launch of the marketplace. Almost all of it happened via governance proposals from the community.
But, the next phase is when the real fun really starts.
Stargaze is almost ready to enter the next and most fun phase, the NFT market. However, the Cosmos ecosystem doesn’t have any NFT tooling yet. Before trading in a secondary market, creators need primary market minting tools. Stargaze will enable this with Genesis Mint.
On March 2nd, Stargaze will launch Genesis Mint where collectors will be able to mint their first NFTs. The team will publish documentation and tooling in the coming weeks for creators to be able to get their collections ready for launch. Please join the #creators channel in Discord to follow along as launch tools become available.
Airdrop recipients will be able to claim Mission #4 (another 20% of their airdrop allocation) by minting an NFT. They have until 4 months after the launch of the marketplace to mint an NFT to claim Mission #4 before the airdrop allocation starts decaying.
If you’re a creator interested in participating in Genesis Mint, please submit an application.
Some of the confirmed projects launching include:
Andromaverse (play to earn game)
Army of Ra
Baby Atom (PFP)
Colonial Cats
Cosmic Cats
Cosmonauts (3D PFP)
Deep Gems
Kinetic (generative)
Nots NFTs
Stargaze Troopers (PFP)
All of these projects have channels in the Stargaze Discord under the NFT Projects category. Many more are in the works.
The NFT marketplace will open for trading 2-3 weeks after Genesis Mint, allowing collectors to sell their NFTs. Shortly after launch of the marketplace, airdrop recipients will able to claim the final 20% of their airdrop (Mission #5) by bidding on an NFT.
Come hang out with us in Discord, Telegram, and Twitter. This is a community owned project, and the team is always open to comments and feedback from the community. Come chill with us.
Ad Astra,
Team Stargaze
