STARS circulation

This proposal is a request for a loan of 135,000 OSMO (~$724K) from the Osmosis community treasury to a multi-sig controlled by community members. Stargaze will use this OSMO to launch a 95/5 Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) on Osmosis. The members of this multi-sig will include: - James Parillo, Figment - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze - Cosmostation Based on the LBP mechanics and OSMO volumes, the starting price of STARS will be $0.28. Stargaze will pay back the value of the original loan in STARS once the LBP has ended. There will be a 0.3% swap fee - Osmosis and Stargaze community pools will split the rewards of this fee 50/50. Osmosis multi-sig public address: osmo1s3unu92e8zv8mfw7n5d4vrgkj9chn7yv0sh8rw Stargaze multi-sig public address: stars1s3unu92e8zv8mfw7n5d4vrgkj9chn7yvnhn27d

The Stargaze core team proposes to allocate 60,000,000 STARS for ATOM/STARS and OSMO/STARS pools on Osmosis to be paid by the Stargaze community pool. This is beneficial in order to increase liquidity and most importantly to ensure that price slippage is reduced. This proposal, if passed would distribute the requested LP amount to the same multi-sig account as Prop #1, which will deploy the funds to the above mentioned pools on 1/14/2022 to coincide with the regular incentives provided by Osmosis. The incentive program will last for 90 days and works out to roughly: STARS/ATOM = 333,333.33 STARS/day STARS/OSMO = 333,333.33 STARS/day The members of the multi-sig will include: - James Parillo, Figment - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze - Cosmostation Important: - These incentives will go live on 1/14/2022. - Retroactive rewards will not go into effect for this proposal.

The Stargaze core team proposes to allocate 50,000,000 STARS from the community pool to extend external incentives for the OSMO/STARS and ATOM/STARS and pools on Osmosis. This is beneficial in order to increase liquidity and most importantly to ensure that price slippage is reduced. This proposal, if passed would distribute the requested LP amount to the same multisig account as Prop #1, which will deploy the funds to the above mentioned pools shortly after the on-chain proposal passes. The incentive program will last for 180 days and apply to the 14-day gauge. It works out to roughly to: STARS/OSMO = 30M STARS = 166,666.6667 STARS/day ATOM/STARS = 20M STARS = 111,111.1111 STARS/day Important: - These incentives will go live 4/4/2022. - Retroactive rewards will not go into effect for this proposal.

Description Voting YES to this proposal indicates approval to address Stargaze's carbon emissions footprint by purchasing one year of carbon credits at worst-case projections through Regen Network. Voting NO to this proposal indicates that this funding should not be allocated. Based on feedback from carbon footprint data reported by validators of Regen Network, Stargaze is projected to emit at most 3525 tons a year in carbon, negatively affecting our climate. Regen Network, in partnership with Toucan and Moss.Earth has already launched a version of NCT on Polygon at a price of $10 per credit. This proposal asks for a spend of 327,906 $STARS from the Community Pool to purchase 3,525 NCT from Regen Network to cover Stargaze's historical carbon emissions, confirming Stargaze's carbon neutrality blockchain up to October 2022. Method The $STARS will be transferred to a corresponding wallet on the Regen Network over IBC and used to purchase NCT. This will then be retired to offset Stargaze's carbon emissions. Any $STARS remaining due to price fluctuations below the intentional 20% buffer to mitigate any price volatility, and a potentially lower NCT cost, will be returned to the Stargaze Community Pool.

The Stargaze Core Team proposes to allocate 14,975,790 STARS for ATOM/STARS and OSMO/STARS pools on Osmosis to be paid by the Stargaze community pool of over 62 days starting from when the current external incentives expires. This is done to sure the depth of the STARS liquidity pools on Osmosis. This proposal, if passed would distribute the requested LP amount to the same multisig account as Prop #1 and #23, which will deploy the funds to the above mentioned pools shortly after the on-chain proposal passes. The incentive program will be 15% less than the previous, amounting to: STARS/OSMO = 8.98M STARS = 144,927 STARS/day ATOM/STARS = 5.99M STARS = 96,618 STARS/day Important: - These incentives will go live 10/2/2022 and last until 12/3/2022. - Retroactive rewards will not go into effect for this proposal.

Objective: Engage active NFT communities on Ethereum to migrate them to Stargaze. Assumption 1: Cosmos is in the early stages of mega growth. Leading indicators include DYDX & other major protocols launching on Cosmos. We believe this DeFi protocol migration could also shift tens of thousands of wallets and hundreds of millions of dollars from Ethereum to the Cosmos. Assumption 2: There are many legitimate projects with strong communities on Ethereum. Due to the nature of Ethereum, these communities are not receiving the engagement they deserve. We believe that by migrating these communities to a 'smaller pond' they will see an uptick in community growth, volume, and ongoing traction. Engage Ethereum Communities: Stargaze wants to be proactive versus reactive by beginning to engage active NFT communities on Ethereum. Proof of concept: Stargaze aims to demonstrate that the concept of airdropping STARS tokens to hand-picked NFT communities on Ethereum can drive wallet, user, and fund migration from Ethereum to Stargaze and Cosmos. Pilot: To prove that this model works, Stargaze will partner with Levana Protocol, an experienced team that has grown a loyal, charismatic community of devoted NFT collectors. How it works: Users will navigate to a website: (URL TBD) 1) User connects metamask and keplr 2) user signs a plaintext message on metamask (aka "I want a Winter Pal") 3) User signs transaction on Keplr wallet (it will say something like "submit for airdrop") 4) There will be an airdrop contract on our side, that is able to compute valid eth sig and keplr sig 5) That same contract, will a) send the user 3000 STARS and b) add them to the desired whitelist 6) User gets a response message something like "You have received 3000 STARS and added to Winter Pals whitelist!" 7) User can then go mint their winter pal at the whitelist date we set Why 3,000 STARS tokens? The STARS tokens will be a bonus invite prize for participating in the POC of bridging accounts from Ethereum to Stargaze. About Levana: Levana was a Blue Chip protocol on Terra before moving over to Cosmos. Levana has one of the most active communities, with 30,600 Twitter followers and 11,800 Discord members. Twitter: https://twitter.com/Levana_protocol Discord: https://discord.com/invite/levana Here are some Levana Highlights: Most successful NFT Mint on Terra. $3.7M with $7.6M in secondary market sales. Most owned NFT collection on Terra by wallet. *Second only to TNS. Levana’s role: - Engage & educate the hodlers community by holding bi-weekly AMAs and creating and promoting explanation videos, providing live Twitter & discord support. Levana will reward each bridged wallet with a free Crypto Winter Pal from the Winter pals collection. KPI: There are 1279 wallets currently hodling Rekt Dragon NFTs on Ethereum. https://opensea.io/collection/levana-rekt-dragons waiting for the secondary drop of crypto winter pals guaranteed to all Rekt Dragon hodlers. These wallets were all previously rekt on Terra We believe that the following metrics will be key indicators of success. 1,000 Ethereum wallets bridge to Stargaze within a 2-week pilot period. Five hundred wallets engage in 3,000 STARS sales volume in the first 30 days. Ask: A total of 3,837,000 STARS <3,000 STARS multiplied by 1,279 wallets.> There will be a 50-day claw-back period. All unclaimed STARS will be returned to the community pool within 50 days of the launch date. Funds will be held in a 3 of 4 multisig with 2 signers from Levana, Levana Comms and Michael, Humanalgorithm from Stargaze and Alkadeta the validator. Conclusion: Stargaze believes that it can funnel quality NFT collections and its communities from Ethereum to Stargaze. To quickly and effectively prove or disprove this assumption, Stargaze will run a 50-day pilot in partnership with the Levana team. If this pilot proves successful, the Stargaze team will look to repeat this model with other leading NFT communities on an ongoing basis moving forward.

## Community Spend Proposal The Stargaze core team proposes to allocate 3,450,000 STARS for two STARS pools on Osmosis to be paid for by the Stargaze community pool. - 2,200,000 STARS will be allocated to the OSMO/STARS over 100 days - 1,250,000 STARS will be allocated to the ATOM/STARS over 60 days This is done to ensure the depth of the STARS liquidity pools on Osmosis. This proposal, if passed, would distribute the requested amount to the same multi-sig account as Prop #1, #23, and #56, which will deploy the funds to the above-mentioned pools on Dec 3rd, 2022, when the current STARS incentives expire. These incentives will go live on Dec 3rd, 2022. ## Background The incentives program on Osmosis is expiring, and the inflation thirdening on Stargaze is happening on Jan 1st, 2023. The Osmosis incentives for the two STARS pools are somewhat low. This is due to the external incentives not being matched and the low trading volume compared to the pool size. The incentives program is reduced to take the thirdening into account and reduce the OSMO/STARS pool on Osmosis, thereby getting higher OSMO incentives. To make sure that the OSMO/STARS pool stays highly attractive, the Stargaze core team will create a proposal on Osmosis for getting matching external incentives OSMO/STARS. The OSMO/STARS over 100 days is extended to 100 days, whereas the ATOM/STARS is only 60 days because Stargaze is planning to launch a Stargaze AMM that will host the ATOM/STARS pool once it launches. The Stargaze core team will in the near future put forward a proposal for allocating incentives to the Stargaze AMM for the whole of 2023. ## The Multisig - James Parillo, Figment - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze - Jeonghwan, Cosmostation ## Voting By voting Yes you agree to spend the Community Pool funds.

Dear Stargaze Community & Team, The team at PS Labs (https://twitter.com/PS_Labs) are excited to announce the launch of a new custom Smart Contract. This contract is based on the SG721 and v2 minter protocols, but with added features that allow the contract owner to allow NFTs to be appended to an existing collection and to create collections with more than 10k supply. We believe this contract will be useful to many projects in the Stargaze community that will benefit from its features. PS Labs are committed to continuing our operations on Stargaze, and we believe that this contract will help us to do so. We are currently in the final stages of development and plan to launch on the testnet as soon as possible. Details -PS Labs is launching a custom smart contract for service based collections. -The contract is based on the SG721 and v2 minter protocols, with added features -Features include the ability to set minting to be enabled/disabled, set the maximum number of NFTs in the collection to be more than standard fixed size of 10k, set the token_uri after initial setup making the collection "appendable", enabling/disabling the avaibility of mint only to owner of the contract -The ability to add NFTs to an existing collection can be useful for projects that offer NFTs as a service to their users -This allows the project to easily add new NFTs to the collection as needed, without having to create a new contract for each new batch of NFTs -This can save time and resources, and make it easier for the project to manage and distribute their NFTs -This ensures that the collection can continue to grow and adapt to the needs of the project and its users. -To be fair with the collection's creation fee an additional cost will be required to the creator as adding nfts after the 10k standard limit To help us continue our efforts to make this contract available to all, we are respectfully requesting $6000 to cover our development costs. We have so far put our own funds upfront to get the smart contract created and the smart contract is working and ready. We believe that by providing this contract to the community, we can help to advance the use of Stargaze Network and make it more lucrative for creators to start new and interesting project ideas. We hope that this contract will serve as a valuable tool for others in the community. Thank you for your support and interest in Stargaze & our project. Warm regards, David Sheldrick PS Labs Founder

As discussed in: https://gov.stargaze.zone/discussion/8489-incentivize-starsusk-farm-on-team-kujiras-fin BOW aims to support the FIN DEX with better liquidity for the Cosmos ecosystem. We look forward to collaborating with all Cosmos communities and encourage you to consider incentivizing your token on BOW. This proposal is requesting 100k $STARS to be transferred to a temporary wallet controlled by Narwhal Security. From there it will immediately be added as an incentive in the STARS/USK farm on BOW. The incentive will be lasting 8 weeks and have a flat emission schedule.

## Extending the ATOM/STARS Pool Incentives on Osmosis The Stargaze core team proposes to allocate 1,250,000 STARS for the STARS/ATOM pool on Osmosis to be paid for by the Stargaze community pool. - 1,250,000 STARS will be allocated to the ATOM/STARS over 60 days This is done to ensure the depth of the STARS liquidity pools on Osmosis. This proposal, if passed, would distribute the requested LP amount to the same multi-sig account as Prop #1, #23, and #56, which will deploy the funds to the above-mentioned pools on Feb 2nd, 2023, when the current STARS incentives expire. These incentives will go live on Feb 2nd, 2023. The ATOM/STARS external incentives are extended 60 days to give Stargaze time to launch and test the new AMM that will host the ATOM/STARS on Stargaze itself. Extending the incentives for the STARS/OSMO pool will be made as a separate proposal once they are close to expiring. ## The Multisig - James Parillo, Figment - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze - Jeonghwan, Cosmostation ## Voting By voting Yes you agree to spend the Community Pool funds.

## Services for a Governed ICS721 (Infrastructure and Operations) Full details here: https://commonwealth.im/stargaze/discussion/9539-services-for-a-governed-ics721-infrastructure-and-operations ### About Ark Protocol Our mission is building and providing multi-chain utilities on top of ICS721 for ALL collections and on ALL chains at ANY time. The Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC) allows Cosmos chains to connect and communicate with each other. ### What is ICS721? For a better understanding what ICS721 means and how it enables multi-chain utilities please read our blog post on "Building Multi-Chain NFT Utilities": https://arkprotocol.substack.com/p/nfts-and-utilities-going-multi-chain ### Summary Ark Protocol's proposal is requesting a one-time funding of 2,000,000 STARS. This funding will cover the cost of services and operating relayer nodes for a minimum of 6 months. We are optimistic about providing ICS721 services for the rest of the year and beyond. Ark Protocol aims to self-cover all ongoing services through an ICS721 transfer fee. Each NFT being transferred through this governed ICS721 contract will be charged a small fee. Of course, each collection is free to opt-in or opt-out and set up their own ICS721 service and infrastructure.

## Extending the STARS/OSMO Pool Incentives on Osmosis The Stargaze Community Multisig proposes to allocate 1,980,000 STARS for the STARS/OSMO pool on Osmosis to be paid for by the Stargaze community pool. - 1,980,000 STARS will be allocated to the STARS/OSMO over 90 days This is done to ensure the depth of the STARS liquidity pools on Osmosis. This proposal, if passed, would distribute the requested LP amount to a 3/5 multi-sig account, which will deploy the funds to the above-mentioned pool on March 20th 2023. These incentives will go live on March 20th, 2023. To make sure that the STARS/OSMO pool stays highly attractive, The Stargaze Community Multisig will create a proposal on Osmosis for getting matching external incentives on STARS/OSMO. Extending the incentives for the STARS/ATOM pool will be made as a separate proposal once they are close to expiring. ## The Multisig - Rob Pellecchia, Figment Capital - Jeonghwan, Cosmostation - Ömer, alkadeta - Ruwan Perera, Stargaze - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze Osmosis multi-sig public address: osmo1mvc24k0d4trgwlh29z280c4tnede2uxxdyh4t5 Stargaze multi-sig public address: stars1mvc24k0d4trgwlh29z280c4tnede2uxx3rnckh ## Voting By voting Yes you agree to spend the Community Pool funds.

## Stargaze is leading the way as a sustainable, **carbon neutral NFT and Smart Contract platform**. This proposal asks for a spend of **78,125 STARS** from the Community Pool to purchase and retire **500 tons** of carbon credits to **offset Stargaze’s 2023 carbon emissions** to continuing being a **carbon neutral blockchain**. If approved, **78,125 STARS** will be transferred to multisig wallet `stars15usuwmqg86h5n3tnvfkqksx6hxqwugtcu9vfps` for the purpose of sending to a Regen Network Development, PBC. (Public Benefit Company) controlled wallet in exchange for **500 NCT** (Nature Carbon Tons) to be retired at Stargaze retirement address `regen1satwv984d3s0kmvnlh4wnf0enh5xwgaq6v7gsc` STARS will be sent in **12 month vesting state**, which will allow for RND, PBC to stake with Stargaze validators, but tokens would not be transferrable until the end of vesting period. > **VOTING YES** - Voting YES to this proposal indicates approval to address **Stargaze**’s carbon emissions footprint by purchasing **Nature Carbon Ton** to offset 2023. > **VOTING NO** - Voting NO to this proposal indicates that this funding should not be allocated. > **VOTING NO WITH VETO** - Voting NO WITH VETO indicates not in support, that a different follow-on proposal should be drafted, and that depositors should lose deposit. > **VOTING ABSTAIN** - Voting ABSTAIN indicates acknowledgement and participation in the governance process, but no opinion is wished to be expressed. ## **Method** * Stargaze blockchain Carbon Footprint was **calculated using [Method #2: Scale of Validator Operations](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H-w4dBc1Svcmw_fzEKUFRgK_pga1qsGMHCTsUKUmWEA)** * Based on feedback from carbon footprint data reported by validators of Regen Network, and applying Method #2, **Stargaze** is projected to emit at most **461.53 tons a year in carbon**, negatively affecting our climate. * Method #2 [calculations done by Bonzi](https://gov.stargaze.zone/discussion/9402-stargaze-carbon-climate-cosmos-zero) * **500 tons** will be used to provide a significant margin of assurance. * NCT will be acquired using [Option 3: Carbon credits direct from Regen Network Development, PBC](https://www.notion.so/Cosmos-ZERO-Achieve-protocol-net-zero-carbon-emissions-while-building-a-carbon-market-in-Cosmos-ddd441e3ff3d4dbda83265433843ec10) where RND, PBC will stake vested STARS received for a 12 month period. * Price of NCT is $2.75: 500 x 2.75 = $1,375 * Price of STARS at time of writing is **$0.0176** and **WILL BE VALUE USED** to exchange for 500 NCT * 78,125 STARS (1,375/0.0176) are requested from Community Pool --- **3/5 Multisig wallet comprised of community members / validators:** Gjermund | EmpowerChain ScottTpirate | Stargaze Community Dan | Qwoyn Studios αlphaβiota | LOA Labs **RND, PBC. representative:** Sarah Baxendell | RND, PBC. --- ## Cross-protocol Collaborations: Stargaze x Regen **Additional context relating to Stargaze NFT community:** The Cosmos ZERO team plans to **mint an NFT collection on Stargaze** which will represent the retired NCT and carbon neutral statuses of all Cosmos Zone protocols and validators who have offset their carbon emissions from 2017 through 2023 and have provided the appropriate TX hash as proof of the offset. In addition, The Cosmos ZERO team is excited to support Stargaze's Earth Day NFT mint, by helping to curate and recruit **#refi NFT artists**. The team plans to seek funds from the Regen Community Pool to help co-fund some of the artists stipends, and potentially offer some NCT tokens to offset energy used to create the collection itself! ## Background The environmental cost of blockchain technology is often cited as a problem that needs to be tackled before widespread adoption. Proof of Work consensus algorithms, such as those in use by Bitcoin and Ethereum, create an arms race of computing power in order for a miner to be the first to create a new block and so obtain the reward. Cosmos’ Proof of Stake validation system drastically improves on this by making this competition take place over attracting more delegation of stake from users. Validators are not required to perform deliberately complicated calculations and so can run on relatively low power machines. However, these machines are still required to be online 24/7 and perform calculations to confirm each block as it is generated. This results in a carbon footprint for each blockchain in the Cosmos ecosystem. ### Carbon Credits Industry Carbon credits are real world financial assets (commodities) that are rapidly becoming tokenized onto blockchains. Demand for carbon credits is expected to become a $500 billion + industry by 2030, and is already a 6 billion annual industry. **CosmosZERO Program:** [https://regennetwork.notion.site/Cosmos-ZERO-Achieve-Protocol-Validator-Net-Zero-Carbon-Emissions-ddd441e3ff3d4dbda83265433843ec10](https://www.notion.so/Cosmos-ZERO-Achieve-protocol-net-zero-carbon-emissions-while-building-a-carbon-market-in-Cosmos-ddd441e3ff3d4dbda83265433843ec10) **CosmosZERO Carbon Footprint Analysis:** [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H-w4dBc1Svcmw_fzEKUFRgK_pga1qsGMHCTsUKUmWEA/edit](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H-w4dBc1Svcmw_fzEKUFRgK_pga1qsGMHCTsUKUmWEA/edit) **Osmosis Carbon Market with Regen Network (passed):** [https://gov.osmosis.zone/discussion/3936-proposal-osmosis-carbon-market-with-regen-network](https://gov.osmosis.zone/discussion/3936-proposal-osmosis-carbon-market-with-regen-network) --- ## Discussions [Commonwealth](https://gov.stargaze.zone/discussion/9402-stargaze-carbon-climate-cosmos-zero) [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/755548171941445642/1067316348729962506)

##Make Stargaze the Sponsor of Game of NFTs Phase 2 Hackathon This proposal is requesting approval to allocate 2874035.15 STARS (approximately USD $50k) from the Stargaze Community Pool to make Stargaze the sponsor of the Game of NFTs (GoN) Phase 2 Hackathon and cover the prizes for Stargaze Challenge winners. As a sponsor of the GoN Phase 2 Hackathon, Stargaze will be able to own a dedicated track and name a challenge, discover projects, select and reward winners. This will bring new and more innovative NFT and IBC NFT dApps/projects into the ecosystem, fund talented developers and builders, and benefit the community with a brighter cross-chain NFT future. The prize pool of Stargaze challenge will be: * 1st Place: $25k in STARS * 2nd Place: $15k in STARS * 3rd Place: $10k in STARS Judges of Stargaze challenge will be: * humanalgorithm * …… ***Stargaze is able to decide and invite judges of the challenge freely.*** Judges will award prizes only in case the submissions are of high quality and meet all the criteria outlined in the challenges, and any surplus will be returned to the community pool.

## **Summary** $18,000 in $STARS for three months of public goods funding to Confio to maintain Cosmwasm, the smart contract engine that powers Stargaze. The request is for 1,080,000 $STARS, any remainder will be returned to the community pool. ## **Background** Confio team, led by Simon Warta, Ethan Frey, and Martin Worner, is an essential part of the Cosmos ecosystem for everything they have delivered as core developers and support to all teams building, Stargaze included. Cosmwasm, an essential part of Cosmos infrastructure, is maintained by Confio. Recently, the team announced they couldn’t continue building public goods from now on. [https://twitter.com/confio_tech/status/1620780203818754048](https://twitter.com/confio_tech/status/1620780203818754048) [https://medium.com/confio/confios-new-path-fa82482a9f13](https://medium.com/confio/confios-new-path-fa82482a9f13) Stargaze acknowledges the work Confio has done and will continue to do as stewards of Cosmwasm. The Stargaze Community would like to extend our help to the Confio Team, who currently has 20-30 people. ## **Cost and Rationale** The proposal is for $18,000 in $STARS for three months of public goods funding to the Confio Team. After those 3 months have passed, a renewal of this proposal may take place. Other Cosmos projects have made similar proposals to their community. The amount requested is equivalent in proportion to other community proposals. This helps Confio continue operations and work on Cosmwasm. The upside would be getting support from Confio’s invaluable expertise while also helping a project essential to the Cosmos ecosystem. Every mint and trade on Stargaze relies on Cosmwasm to execute. ## **The Multisig** - Rob Pellecchia, Figment Capital - Jeonghwan, Cosmostation - Ömer, alkadeta - Ruwan Perera, Stargaze - Shane Vitarana, Stargaze Multisig address: stars1mvc24k0d4trgwlh29z280c4tnede2uxx3rnckh ## **Discussion** https://commonwealth.im/stargaze/discussion/10097-funding-for-confio-developers-of-cosmwasm ## **Voting** By voting Yes you agree to spend the Community Pool funds.

Vote No: To vote against funding the development of an Open Edition Minter on Stargaze

**ICS721 Super Team** **Summary**: ICS721 is a critical piece of infrastructure both for Stargaze and for the Cosmos as a whole. ICS721 enables transfers of NFTs between chains and with the help of Gravity Bridge will allow Stargaze to transfer NFTs from Ethereum. Recently with the completion of Game of NFTs phase II, three winners were announced. The submissions were absolutely stellar! The goal of this proposal is to fund each of the winners to bring their solutions to mainnet. Once all solutions are brought to mainnet, Stargaze will have fully functional NFT transfers not only between Cosmos chains but also to and from Ethereum. Once this proposal passes, all three teams will work as a team to integrate their projects into Stargaze. Humanalgorithm from Stargaze will act as product manager for this initiative. **Information on the Three Projects** *All three winners have working demos up in Dora Hacks*: **#1 ERC721 NFT Transfers from Ethereum to Stargaze**       • Project Description: Transfers NFTs from Ethereum to Gravity Bridge and then to Stargaze       • Project link: https://dorahacks.io/buidl/6483       • Team name: Empower Chain       • Team Members: Gjermund Garaba and Jakub Kobeldys **#2 Incentives and Fees for NFT Transfers**       • Project Description: This project sets up proxy contracts before the ICS721 bridge so that incentives can be paid for incoming NFTs and fees imposed for outgoing NFTs. These proxy contracts can be combined to produce the functionality we need such as rate limiting and collection filtering. This is critical to the implementation as it will allow Stargaze to A) incentivize projects to come on chain and 2) govern the rate of transfers for NFT collections by the creator's preference       • Project link: https://dorahacks.io/buidl/6497       • Team Name: Ark Protocol       • Team Members: Mr T, art3mix, tatsen, m3rlin5ky, Crypto_Scotty_420 #3 **Stargaze Themed UI for ICS721 transfers**       • Project Name: UI for ICS721 Transfers matching the Stargaze black and pink theme       • Project link: https://dorahacks.io/buidl/6528       • Team Name: CronCat       • Team Members: Trevor and Ravi **Funding Requested**:       • $60k USD total broken down as follows:       • $30k USD for ERC721 transfer team (Empower)       • $20k USD Incentives and fees team (Ark Protocol)       • $10k USD for ICS721 UI (CronCat) **Multisig address**: stars1fmm9curyv3k7htx92h93ktuh4fcpyse4ry8m6m **Multisig link**: https://multisig.notional.ventures/multisig/stars1fmm9curyv3k7htx92h93ktuh4fcpyse4ry8m6m **Multisig members**:       • Alkadeta, Validator - stars16fy0syyjnrxk4nmj3pddat5e6ezgcr58pxdg04       • Humanalgorithm, Stargaze Core Team - stars1z4gx3lymjkgclw9x2fdpuchu8v46c54tymeckr       • Ruwan, Stargaze Core Team - stars1gd4xlwv34t0chqtcftnc49x2pc7atlcut8r689       • Serkan, Stargaze Core Team - stars15smlnkdjd85lrlf6lvjgj9tvnx59urapqr48sl       • Zerk, Rekt Gang - stars1pwha5a3hr55wmmur2d4fm0p8rf7q62wn7lml9k **Funding Distribution**: Each team will receive 1/3 of the award on the 1st of the month for 3 months.

MantaDAO is seeking $50,000 of STARS from the Stargaze Community Pool as a token swap in exchange for $50,000 of MNTA (the exchange ratio will be based on 20-day TWAP). MantaDAO will pair the received $50,000 STARS with an additional $50,000 of MNTA from its treasury to be provided as liquidity on BOW in the STARS/MNTA pair. Likewise, we propose that the Stargaze Community Pool pairs the received $50,000 MNTA with an additional $50,000 STARS from its treasury which is provided as liquidity on BOW in the STARS/MNTA pair. If accepted, this proposal will greatly increase liquidity for STARS on Kujira, and facilitate several liquidity routes through the STARS/MNTA pair. In particular, this would enable traders to swap STARS for axlUSDC, USK, ATOM and KUJI at very low slippage via MantaSwap’s multi-hop router. This is made possible by routing trades via the $100k MNTA/KUJI LP owned by MantaDAO which acts as an intermediary step to the deepest KUJI pools on FIN (e.g. to trade STARS for axlUSDC, the route would be STARS<>MNTA<>KUJI<>axlUSDC). This proposal will result in a total of $200k in liquidity for the STARS/MNTA pair on BOW, and $100k in revenue-generating POL for both the Stargaze Community Pool and MantaDAO.

PROPOSAL The Composable Finance team proposes to allocate 2,000,000 STARS for a DOT/STARS pool on the Pablo Decentralized Exchange (DEX), to be paid for by the Stargaze community pool. These stars will be allocated over 180 days. The DOT/STARS pool is the first time STARS will be available to native DotSama users, thus the goal of this proposal is to attract additional liquidity to the pool. This proposal, if passed, would distribute the requested amount of STARS to the multi-sig account listed below, which will move the funds over to Picasso via its Centauri bridge. These incentives will go live on within a week of receipt. BACKGROUND Polkadot (DOT): Polkadot (DOT), the native token of the Polkadot Network. DOT’s use cases have been previously restricted to DotSama, with its key functions in Polkadot being securing the relay chain and leasing of parachains. However, Composable’s Centauri bridge now allows for the creation of new use cases for DOT in the interchain. This will likely also attract new users (from DotSama) to Cosmos and vice versa. DOT currently holds a market cap of $6,201,293,681, ranking 13th overall amongst networks and holds an average trading volume of $98,502,212 at the time of writing (as per CoinMarketCap). Polkadot has 1.4 million twitter followers, and 81.2 thousand reddit followers. The total value locked across all DotSama parachains is over $125 million. DOT is available on 96 exchanges (as per Coincodex), encompassing most of the major exchanges in the industry, such as Binance, KuCoin, OKX, Huobi Global, and Kraken. Notably, thanks to Composable’s Centauri bridge, DOT can now be exchanged for Cosmos-native assets on both Osmosis and Composable’s Pablo DEX. Thus, DOT is a highly available and popular asset, making it an optimal candidate to put in a liquidity pool with STARS. Centauri: Thanks to Composable Finance’s new Centauri bridge, Cosmos and Polkadot/Kusama are trustlessly connected for the first time. That means that assets can now flow back and forth between these two major ecosystems, opening new opportunities for users to participate and utilize idle assets. Centauri is the first trustless connection between DotSama and the Interchain. This is facilitated by both Composable’s Kusama parachain, Picasso, and the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) Protocol. Resultantly, all 46+ IBC-enabled chains can interoperate with ~80 DotSama parachains, with each ecosystem’s native assets now being able to flow to the other. The Pablo DEX: The Pablo Decentralized Exchange (DEX) is the first trustless and non-custodial cross-ecosystem DEX unifying liquidity across the major ecosystems. Pablo exists on Composable’s Picasso parachain, and leverages the Centauri bridge. Thus, Pablo offers a number of liquidity pools between Cosmos-native and DotSama-native assets. Pablo’s DOT/STARS Pool The DOT/STARS pool on Pablo will enable users to take advantage of newly introduced opportunities to transact between Cosmos and DotSama. This will help facilitate the flow of liquidity and volume between DotSama projects and Cosmos Projects such as Stargaze. Specifically, DOT owners can come to the DOT/STARS pool on Pablo to swap for STARS, which can then be leveraged for use on Stargaze and beyond (and vice versa). Incentivizing this pool aims to attract liquidity in order to onboard new holders and users of STARS from the DotSama ecosystem.

By voting No you reject allocating 2,000,000 STARS to incentivize STARS/DOT LP on Pablo DEX.

This is a funding proposal (100k STARS) to reward reports of stolen collections on Stargaze. Stargaze has permissionless collection deployment on-chain, meaning anyone can launch a collection on Stargaze anytime. This aligns with the fundamental principle of decentralization. However, that also opens up to scammers, allowing them to deploy a stolen collection from another chain into Stargaze. Action is taken upon noticing the collection is stolen - usually, the team gets to it fairly quickly. There are times, though, when we would need a swift response or more eyes to discover those before any damage is made to the community. This proposal was made with the feedback from STARS hodlers on Stargaze Discord. We are requesting a small amount of funds (100k STARS) that will last for many months. Every successful first report would be rewarded by a small amount of STARS (1k-2k), but always less than collection creation to avoid gaming (for example, creating a collection and reporting themselves). 1/1 collection reports will be at a lower amount since they also cost less to launch. For this purpose, we will open a channel on Stargaze Discord that has new messages every time a new collection is launched. ( ⁠# new-collections ) Only the first report for a collection will be considered for the reward. To be eligible, will need to have a link to the original collection at the marketplace. This is for copy/paste collections only (exact same art). Heavy references are more of a gray area and not contemplated by this. The funds will be managed by a DAO, with the following members: Starty Serkan bonzi Ruwan DAO Link: https://daodao.zone/dao/stars10c9ktyv3xf5vd2hxcxzekg3mzcn58p75gzhp0uepsa57p4qvsf3qgaql92 The main purpose of this funding is to get to a stolen collection quickly - ideally before any minting has happened - so the community isn’t harmed by the scammers. This will also, over time, de-incentivize scammers from deploying on Stargaze, as they will notice they won’t be able to keep their stolen collections or earn any revenue from it. Other measures are being discussed - for example, vesting the revenue for some days until the collection is checked - but this will require changes in the coding and will take a bit longer to implement. By voting YES to this proposal, you agree to send 100k STARS to the DAO above mentioned, funding that will be sent as rewards for reporting stolen collections. By voting NO to this proposal, you are against sending funds to the DAO to reward users for reporting stolen collections.
