How to get some STARS

In order to mint your NFT, you'll need to have some STARS in your Leap/Keplr wallet.

Even if you can mint without paying gas fees, you'll need to dust off your stargaze account in any case before the mint.

There are several ways to get stars, and we'll go through them all in this article.

From a Cosmos chain :

If you already have some ATOM (or any other token) on the Cosmos chain (or any IBC chain) in your Leap/Keplr wallet, then it's very simple and you can do everything from stargaze.

  1. Log into stargaze using your Leap / Keplr wallet : Stargaze

  2. Click on Get STARS

  3. Click on IBC Swap

  4. Connect your wallet

  5. Choose the source chain (Cosmos for example) to swap your token for STARS (Note that you won’t need more than 1-2 STARS, betwee, $0.05 and $0.1)

  6. Mint your NFT

From an EVM chain :

If you don't have ATOM or other Cosmos tokens, you can use Noble Express to get USDC from EVM chains. (Note that Polygon is the cheapest route almost every time).

  1. Connect to Noble Express here : Noble Express

  2. Connect your EVM wallet and choose your source chain (Arbitrum / Polygon / Optimism/ Etc)

  3. Connect your Leap / Keplr wallet and choose your destination chain (Noble)

  4. Click on Transfer (note that it might take 5 minutes and you will pay $0.2 bridge fee as you can see in this example)

  5. Back to stargaze and click on “Get STARS”

  6. You will find a USDC (Noble) → STARS shortcut, click on it.

  7. Transform your USDC into STARS

  8. Mint your NFT

From a CEX:

If you want to do it from a CEX, it's just as easy as from a Cosmos chain. Depending on the CEX, you can send ATOMs or other tokens directly to your Leap/Keplr wallet.

  1. Copy your address (CosmosXXX for ATOM) for example on your Leap/Keplr wallet

  2. Withdraw from your CEX to your CosmosXXX address.

  3. Use the “From a Cosmos chain” process seen above.
