Soon you'll have both Ethereum and Solana NFTs trading alongside Stargaze NFTs in the Stargaze Marketplace. Even Bitcoin Ordinals. That's something you cannot do on Ethereum, Solana, or any L2 in the near future.

~25% of crypto devs are actually actors larping as genius devs, and neither retail nor VCs know this is going on. If a dev is shitposting 50 times a day, trust me, they aren't writing any code, or nothing significant at least.

There’s no one to bail out crypto. Over-leveraged irresponsible firms die. Responsible ones survive. 100% degen communities die. Ones with substance survive. Unsound tokenomics crash. Sound tokenomics stick around. Greed gets wiped out. Everything is working as intended.

It’s the two year anniversary of Stargaze Launchpad's genesis mint!
As a small team of 3 devs, we managed to ship the platform that brought
@badkidsart
and 16 other collections to life. Launchpad was, and remains the only permissionless NFT minting platform in crypto.
On day…
Happy 2 Year Stargaze Launchpad Anniversary! 🎉
To all our creators and users, we've come a long way.

Atom 2.0 team: Ship Interchain Security first. Show that you can ship with the team you have now.
Then pick ONE thing from the whitepaper and ship that. Grandiose plans often don’t work and they’re hard to pass through governance. Take baby steps.

- NFTs will replace all content

Two days into February and Stargaze volume is looking to eclipse January! Website is handling it well -- zero downtime or scalability issues.

The thing I’m most proud of about Stargaze is its growth has always been organic. We don’t have VCs shilling it, Cosmos OGs rarely talk about it even though they rock Bad Kids, and we don’t pay any influencers except
@DonCryptonium
. And that’s to create videos for all of Cosmos.

The best thing dYdX and Celestia did for Cosmos is to eliminate platform risk. They picked the SDK for a reason, and have vested interest in its continued development. App chains have found PMF and are here to stay.

@Curious__J
I have a lot of perspective on this as someone that’s been in Cosmos since right after the token sale in 2017. The reason there’s so much conflict is because there’s several factors that invite conflict if people aren’t mature enough to deal with it. I could write a novel on this…

I don't think people realize how important blockchains will be in the soon approaching era of ubiquitous deep fakes. Storing attestations for content onchain is literally the only way to solve the problem.

My parents migrated to the U.S in the 80s with not much in hand. I bugged them enough to buy me an Intel 286 PC. I came across an issue of 2600 at a local bookstore that lead me to running my own BBS and learning to hack (and code). So thats how I ended up here folks. 🤘🇺🇸

When I talk to Terra teams, they are surprised that

More projects should learn from how the Stargaze airdrop was structured. It was entirely voted in by governance. Users performed various onchain actions to claim $STARS. A subset of these users ended up forming the strong community Stargaze has now. No complaints, no drama.

There’s a reason I continue to build on Cosmos despite many attempts at luring me to build on Ethereum. It’s the only architecture that makes sense long-term.
Imo all of these solutions have their merits & will coexist, but the Cosmos approach will be the most fundamental one

Talking to users and shipping frequent updates is how Stargaze has operated since launch. It all started with a single static page of collections almost two years ago.

I'd take product-market-fit over narrative-market-fit any day. There's few things more satisfying than building and growing with a passionate user base.

Really don't understand the massive investment into EVM / parallel EVMs when better and more modern VMs exist. It's like dumping millions into PHP in 2010. Doesn't make any sense.

If you can't code, you have no business telling projects to move faster. Building is about 1000x harder than trading. Learn to code and do it yourself.

Choosing the right co-founders is the most important thing you'll ever do as a founder. Some hard learned lessons:
- Never pick someone you've known less than a year
- You should have worked with them before
- Should be the same level of degen
- Drop them on the first red flag

The pay-to-play nature of crypto conferences is getting a bit ridiculous. Organizers should leave some wiggle room for speakers based on merit and organic product-market-fit. Authenticity is needed for mass adoption and bringing in new builders.

All these supposedly fast L1s with chain level optimizations struggling to handle load shows that the end user scalability bottleneck is actually on the backend and frontend. Need fast indexers and APIs. This is what Stargaze focused on and why it’s so fast and can handle heavy…

Some important info on

NFTs don't have to be just jpegs, they can also be:
- delegation NFTs
- LP NFTs
- position in a yield vault
- anything in DeFi representing a position
And soon you'll be able to transfer them with ICS-721, an IBC protocol for cross-chain NFT transfers.

Crypto should have a thin CeFi layer and fat DeFi layer. CeFi should be only fiat on-ramps and custody solutions for those that want it.
That's it.
Everything else can be built in DeFi. Much more transparency and less systematic risk this way.

community has to be very intentionally built. slowly and deliberately. airdrops have to be meticulously planned and fairly distributed. if not you end up with mercenary capital and a user base that’s mostly ultra degen with toxic elements.

Cosmos chains will have the best UX out of all ecosystems by this time next year. Mark my words.
(All for growing the pie — better UX helps everyone)
Two major trends right now:
- Pivot to Ethereum L2. e.g., Astar Network, Canto, Celo, Eclipse...
- Launch their own Cosmos chains. e.g., dYdX v4, Berachain, Sei...
Cosmos UX is getting better with native stablecoins, one-click IBC, Outposts, etc. & is ready to compete 👀

Chains that used scammy tactics like trading and social media bots, and had founders that shill the token, didn't survive the last bear. The same thing will happen this cycle. Retention is the best metric of survival -- signals a strong non-mercenary community.

"I'm into DeFi but think NFTs are silly" is probably the dumbest take I hear in crypto. That means you don't think media, games, ecommerce, or real estate will ever come on chain. You don't think provable attribution to content is important in a future of ubiquitous deep fakes.
