Stargaze is migrating to the Hub

  • Proposing to migrate the Stargaze Marketplace to the Cosmos Hub.

  • Shutting down the Stargaze chain and becoming an app on the Hub.

  • Converting $STARS into $ATOM.

  • Hub forum post will go live soon, sharing more details.

Strong Support for the Stargaze Migration

  • An excellent team and a Tier-1 app is coming to the Hub.

  • An NFT marketplace does not need its own chain.

  • It can live on the Hub, leveraging IBC Eureka, serving other app chains.
    => Allowing everyone to mint/buy NFTs on SG from everywhere.
    => Most likely the funds to buy out Stargaze will come from the CP.

Bad Kids are coming home!

In honor of Stargaze joining forces with the Hub, Magmar changed his PFP to one of the baddest Bad Kids out there.

Bad Kid #9515 💀

  • Body: Reaper (0.2%)

  • Badness: 69 (0.05%)

  • Rank #153

Joining his colleagues at the ICL. Bad Kids build!

Stride Swap revenue share with the Hub

20% to Hub, 80% to Stride.

In reality, it's much more than that, as most of Stride's revenue will be used to benefit the Hub:

  • Encourage Eureka chains and Hub apps to deploy liquidity on the Hub.

  • Build an $ATOM treasury.

  • Deepen liquidity pools on the Hub.

  • Targeted incentive campaigns on the Hub.

Hooks will supercharge Stride Swap

Hooks will enable custom on-chain actions like:

a) Limit orders: When price hits X, buy/sell!
b) DCA into your favourite coin over the next Y days/weeks.
c) Pay gas in any token: If I only have coin Z, pay gas with that!

Coreum enabled IBC Eureka

  • Users can now easily move $COREUM from ETH to Cosmos and back.

  • Seamless swaps, 1-click transfers for less than $1.

  • Enabled via IBC Eureka.

Thorchain is eyeing a Eureka integration as well

  • V3.6 upgrade will enable IBC deposits to THORChain.

  • Unlocking instant compatibility with all Cosmos chains & coins.

  • Initially, only one-way IBC transactions to THORChain will be enabled.

Osmosis proposal to integrate Eureka assets

  • Recognize Eureka as a canonical bridge for Osmosis.

  • Joining Axelar and Wormhole as bridge providers.

  • Allowing Eureka assets to be listed without suffixes.
    => LBTC vs. LBTC.lom.atom

  • Enabling Eureka assets to be added to Alloys.

  • Both sunnya97 and 0xMagmar showed support for it.

Check out the proposals on the Osmosis Forum.

Osmosis remains committed to Cosmos

  • Cosmos will remain our home base.

  • Osmosis is expanding — not pivoting — to other chains like Bitcoin.

  • Polaris is the engine behind this expansion, solving cross-chain UX and fragmented liquidity.

  • Welcoming competition; building a great DEX takes years.

The DEX Battle: Collaboration > Competition

  • Both Osmosis and Stride can succeed.

  • There’s so much room to grow for Cosmos.

  • sunnya97 knows I am an ally to him.

  • Let’s band together and grow the ecosystem.

Win-win for Cosmos

1) Osmosis + Polaris = DEX for Cosmos native assets, embracing Bitcoin, and acting as a DEX/bridge aggregator to trade all crypto assets in one place.

2) Stride Swap + Eureka = Focused on IBC Eureka native assets, catering to apps built on the Hub and Eureka-connected chains.

Top 10 assets by volume on Osmosis

  • USDC remains king.

  • 5th consecutive month with $100M+ BTC volume on Osmosis.

  • $ATOM and $OSMO trade on par.

  • $TIA, $BABY, $OM among the top native IBC assets.

Mantra Recovery Plan

  • Validator diversification: Winding down internal validators, adding more external ones.

  • 150M $OM have been burnt forever.

  • Launch of OMSTEAD (EVM testnet).

  • Cooperating with CEXs to improve market stability.

  • Real-time tokenomics dashboard.

Neutron SuperVaults

  • Revolutionizing AMMs by using high-frequency oracle price feeds.

  • Reallocating capital every block, minimizing IL and arbitrage.

  • Inspired by Hyperliquid’s HLP => passive LPs.

  • TIA - USDC vault hit $200K daily volume with just $3.5K capital.

New Cosmos SDK release

  • Adds unordered transactions, epochs, custom minting, and governance upgrades.

  • Only one line of code needed to upgrade.

  • Enhances modularity, aligning with Cosmos’s IBC updates.

Kamigotchi World is Live!

  • It’s time to mint your Kami and start exploring the world.

  • Kamigotchi is the first 100% onchain MMORPG ever built.

  • Appchain built on Initia with Celestia underneath.
