How to Pay 50% LESS on NFT Trades with the Stargaze SuperStar Loyalty Program

If you’re an NFT trader, you know that marketplace fees can eat into your profits. The Stargaze SuperStar Loyalty Program changes the game, offering up to 50% off NFT trading fees for users who stake $STARS. In this guide, we’ll break down how the program works how you can start saving today.

Understanding Stargaze Marketplace Fees

Before we dive into discounts, let’s cover the current Stargaze fee structure:

• Marketplace Fee: This is how Stargaze generates revenue.

  • 2% fee on collections traded in $STARS (e.g., Rekt Bulls).

  • 3% fee on collections traded in other assets like $TIA (Celestine Sloths) or $ATOM (Bad Kids).

• Royalty Fee: Set by creators (0–10%, with 5% being common). This is paid directly to the artist or project team every time an NFT is resold.

In most cases, total fees add up to 7–8% of the trade amount (2–3% marketplace fee + 5% royalties).

How the SuperStar Program Works

The SuperStar Loyalty Program allows you to reduce your marketplace fee by staking $STARS. The more you stake, the bigger your discount—up to 50% off.

Here’s the tier breakdown:

• Tier 0: Stake 5,000 $STARS → 5% fee reduction

• Tier 1: Stake 100K $STARS → 12.5% fee reduction

• Tier 2: Stake 500K $STARS → 25% fee reduction

• Tier 3: Stake 1.25M $STARS → 37.5% fee reduction

• Tier 4: Stake 2.5M $STARS → 50% fee reduction

Important: Royalty fees remain unchanged. Your discount applies only to the marketplace fee.

Minting Your Soul-Bound SuperStar NFT

Once you've staked $STARS, you’ll be able to mint a soul-bound NFT badge that represents your SuperStar tier.

• This NFT is non-transferable. Make sure you mint it with your main trading account.

• Your badge unlocks automatic fee discounts every time you trade NFTs on Stargaze.

To mint your badge:

1. Visit the Stargaze Marketplace.

2. Click the banner or go to your profile → “Superstar Program.”

3. Select your eligible badge and approve the mint transaction in your wallet.
