I want to begin by making it clear that I’m a **community member** seeking feedback. I am **not affiliated** with either the Cosmos Hub or Stargaze teams. However, I sincerely hope that leadership from both sides will engage with this post. ### Purpose of This Post The goal is to understand how the broader community views the **potential value and demand** for moving **Stargaze to the Cosmos Hub**. This is a call for input, reflection, and open discussion. ### Why Stargaze Matters Stargaze is the **cultural heart of the IBC-connected ecosystem**. Most users in the Cosmos community, whether here or on X, use PFPs that were minted on Stargaze. **I, like many others, stayed in Cosmos because of the energy and fun that Stargaze brought to the ecosystem.** I believe it would be a **missed opportunity** if the Hub did not explore a formal proposal to acquire Stargaze. The Stargaze community and core team are exceptional. They have built consistently through the hardest times. As a testament to that resilience, they have recently: - Integrated **AKT and BTC** as a supported token - Supported a **fundraiser for sick children** directly on the front page The Cosmos Hub needs more **apps and active users**. Stargaze brings both. A closer alignment could strengthen both networks significantly. By doing nothing we risk loosing Stargaze and it’s assets to another ecosystem or worse gone forever. ### Revised Acquisition Structure The original acquisition proposal was significantly **overvalued** , and I agree with many in the community that **excluding the STARS token** from the deal makes sense. If there is **community consensus** on this revised direction, I would like to move this conversation to the Stargaze governance forum for more formal feedback. ### Proposal > **Acquire Stargaze for $3.25 million in ATOM** to support operational runway and ecosystem migration. > This would represent approximately **7.5% of the Cosmos Hub community pool**. **Proposed Funding Tranches:** - $750k upfront - $500K upon **Marketplace** deployment to the Hub - $500K upon **Launchpad** deployment - $500K upon **Names** deployment - $500K upon **NFT + Names migration** enablement - $500K upon **STARS token migration** I welcome any constructive feedback and hope this helps spark a meaningful conversation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/move-stargaze-to-the-cosmos-hub/15813)._
