Stargaze is migrating from its own blockchain to the Cosmos Hub.
In early 2026, Stargaze is moving:
From: Stargaze L1 (independent chain)
To: Cosmos Hub (as an application)
This means all NFTs, Names, and the STARS token are moving to a new home.
The Cosmos Hub is the center of the Cosmos ecosystem:
More liquidity (ATOM)
More users
Stronger security
Better aligned with the ecosystem's future
Native payments - Pay with ATOM, the native token from Cosmos Hub
Lower friction - No need for a separate STARS balance for gas
More activity - Larger user base
Funded development through Cosmos Hub community
Dedicated team continuing to build
Long-term commitment to the platform
All NFT collections
Claimable on Q1
Stargaze Names
Claimable on Q2
