Each Lost Soul brings a @dscnft airdrop💀
Although I love the platform, I personally don't think that the migration alone will be enough to save @StargazeZone.
Here's an idea:
1⃣ Migrate the platform to the Hub for cheaper migration costs but with a concrete development plan and concrete milestones that'll unlock funding when they are reached (aligned with Mag proposal).
2⃣ Become multichain (implement NFTs trading on major EVM chains and more).
3⃣ Run a huge marketing campaign (claimable random NFT packs based on trading volume or anything that is appealing enough to motivate usage).
4⃣ Use these EVM trading fees to buyback $ATOM, use $ATOM to sweep Cosmos NFTs for the incentives loop (you support OG creators, OG users, the Hub and ATOM holders).
Expedition community collection and the Expedition validator by @lifeandcrypto_ in @cosmos and @StargazeZone , after speaking with members of Atom and Stargaze communities, as well as involved parties and opinion leaders, will vote “Abstain” on this proposal
Proposal Pass
If the proposal passes, Stargaze will become the first appchain in Hub history to migrate onto the Cosmos Hub. As seen in [PROPOSAL 1007][PASSED], CosmWasm was not part of @cosmoslabs_io strategy, but the proposal was still approved by the majority of validators who rely on the requests of their delegators and $ATOM holders
It’s important to understand that if the current proposal passes, the migration of Stargaze will likewise be a community-driven choice and could set a precedent for the future development of retail ecosystems in Cosmos. If other retail projects follow Stargaze to the Hub, this could revive the sector from within Cosmos itself and help CosmosLabs achieve its B2B goals
Atom Community
Cosmos Labs is not actively commenting on or influencing the course of this proposal. This means that the presence of NFTs on the Hub lies entirely on the shoulders of the Atom community. The decision rests with them, their active engagement, and communication with their validators
But again, we are not confident that at this stage the Atom Community has a clear, unified stance on supporting the proposal
The question is not whether NFTs will exist on the Hub or in Cosmos overall if the proposal fails. Rather, the questions are directed at the proposal itself, and what $ATOM will gain after this migration
Stargaze Community and Culture
We should begin by recognizing that the Stargaze community consists of several segments:
First, $STARS holders and stakers
What are the prospects for $STARS as a token if it is, in fact, losing its primary utility? Many holders are down 70% or more from their entry price, yet they make up a large share of validators, and their votes certainly matter - but where is the benefit for them in this proposal?
Next, speaking about Stargaze validators: for many of them, supporting NFT culture is a higher priority than supporting the chain itself/income. They support NFTfi, contests, and media-driven activities. By caring for NFTs, they support the community that values them. And these people often natively stake other tokens - including $ATOM
There are many apps and developers on Stargaze who will face issues due to migrating to the Hub. We should recognize that many developers may end up moving to Cosmos as part of this proposal. It’s also important to hear support from Stargaze regarding migration for projects like NFTgang, NFT Dashboard, Necrovault, RPdao, NFT staked in DaoDao, Platform, and dozens of others
Stargaze vs the Stargaze Community
The main beneficiary of this deal is neither the community nor collection creators - it’s the StargazeZone team
The foundation and technical layer were created by Stargaze
On that foundation, it was the community, founders, and builders who created the culture and ecosystem around it. The projects mentioned above (and many others) helped form the atmosphere, activity, and value around Stargaze
They bring value to their holders, who constitute the actual Stargaze community
Individual projects have no legal or financial obligation to stay on Stargaze
At the same time, responsibility is being shifted to the participants to form opinions and defend NFT culture - but without sharing any of the profit from enabling this
This feels unfair towards them
Funding Plan
For us, as a Cosmos validator, the funding plan is unclear
“100k for this, 300k for that” - no, that will not work. A clear and detailed financial plan is needed, including allocations over time. We ask the Stargaze team to revise this section until everything is fully transparent: what funds will be used for, in what amount, and when
This is also not a full buyout, which many people misunderstood
If this is indeed funding, it is important not only to mention what the Stargaze team has done before - but what new work will be delivered using this budget - both technically and socially. Not past achievements, but new contributions
After these changes, everything will be transparent and understandable for both the ATOM and Stargaze communities
Proposal Fails
As a collection from Cosmos that trades in $ATOM, we cannot imagine Cosmos without NFTs, nor holders without a proper place to trade them
Migration within Cosmos does not currently look like salvation, and migration outside Cosmos would cause significant damage to the entire sector
If the deal does not go through, we call upon the Atom community, the NFT community, and Cosmos Labs to discuss the future of NFTs before Stargaze fully withdraws from the Cosmos ecosystem
Bad Kids, Sloths, Expedition and other collections will always remain “Cosmos NFTs,” deeply tied to the ecosystem’s history. Regardless of which marketplace they end up on, only people from the Cosmos community will truly care about this
Expedition is an active NFT community with its own opinion
We are a Cosmos collection and want to remain in Cosmos, continuing to develop the ecosystem
Our position on the proposal remains “Abstain” until a clear and detailed plan is provided. This plan must include the following points:
1. Funding and Expenses
Clear budget allocation: exact amounts and use of funds for each category
Timeline: when and how the allocated funds will be spent
2. Benefits for the Community
What exactly will the Stargaze and $ATOM communities gain from the migration?
How does the team plan to support current $STARS holders?
3. Existing and New Initiatives
Description of the new initiatives and projects that will be launched with the funding
Consideration of the views of developers and communities affected by the changes
4. Support for Communities
Plans to involve different communities in the migration process
How NFT culture will be preserved and supported in the new environment
We urge the Stargaze team to take the above into account and revise the proposal so that all stakeholders can make an informed decision
Without satisfactory information, we will vote “Abstain”

💫 Our dear delegators,
Once the total delegations reach 20,000 ATOM, we’ll launch an NFT sphere drop for all our delegators! 🌌✨
The more you delegate — the more valuable spheres you’ll receive 🔮

@expedition_pics@sadsadstory1984@Crushes_Art Hey Bro @sadsadstory1984 . I've been a holder of Afterthefilter Habitats and the Expedition collection for a long time. I can no longer imagine the Cosmos ecosystem and NFT without these guys. Really stand-up guys.
