Stargaze Studio 2.0
Stargaze Studio 2.0 is the all-in-one tool for creating, launching, and managing NFT collections on Stargaze — no coding required. It's a ground-up rebuild of the original Studio, with permanent, pay-once storage on Arweave built in from the start.
New to Arweave? What is Arweave? explains how Studio 2.0 stores your art and metadata permanently.
What's new in 2.0
Permanent Arweave storage — your art and metadata are stored once and kept forever, with no monthly pinning fees and nothing to renew.
Pay in ATOM — storage is quoted and paid in Cosmos-native ATOM, right in the app. No credit cards, no separate storage account.
Launch on testnet, promote to mainnet — rehearse the on-chain steps for free on testnet, then go live on mainnet without re-uploading. Your art is stored permanently on Arweave once and reused on both.
A full collection manager — edit prices, mint times, whitelists, royalties, and metadata after launch.
Built-in creator tools — generate art, build metadata, and snapshot holders without leaving Studio.
What you can build
PFP / Generative
Large profile-picture drops built from layered traits (e.g. 1,000–10,000 pieces)
Open Edition
Unlimited (or time-boxed) mints of a single artwork
1/1
A single, one-of-a-kind piece
Testnet first, then mainnet
The golden rule: rehearse on testnet, then promote to mainnet. The on-chain steps — creating the collection, minting, whitelists — are free to practice on the Cosmos Hub testnet. Storage works differently: Arweave has no testnet, so your art and metadata upload to permanent storage for real, once — and those same files carry straight to mainnet.
Get started
Open studio.stargaze.zone.
Connect your wallet — click Connect Wallet (top right) and connect Keplr, your normal Cosmos wallet. Studio never holds your keys; you approve each action as you go.
Rehearse on testnet — pick a collection type, build it exactly as you want, and launch it on testnet. You don't need to find testnet ATOM; while you're creating a collection, the app tops up your testnet balance automatically every 24 hours. Preview the drop and walk the pre-launch checklist.
Promote to mainnet — when it looks right, use Launch on Mainnet to publish the same collection to Cosmos Hub mainnet in one step. Studio reuses your Arweave uploads, with no second storage charge.
Storage is the exception to "testnet is free." Arweave has no testnet, so uploading your art and metadata stores them permanently — for real — even during a testnet rehearsal. The upside: you pay for storage only once, and those exact files are reused on mainnet. See What is Arweave?
What you'll pay
On-chain testnet fees: free — the app tops up your testnet ATOM automatically.
Storage (Arweave): a one-time fee when your files upload, priced by total file size and never charged again — there's no Arweave testnet.
On-chain mainnet fees: the collection-creation fee (varies by type and size) plus network gas, in real ATOM.
Everything is shown live in the app before you confirm. Full breakdown in Costs & Fees.
