# Stargaze

## About

Stargaze is a sovereign app chain designed to **empower creators, traders, and developers**. It enforces royalties onchain for both creators and developers, and offers real yield to stakers. Stargaze offers a suite of apps that compose well with each other, from NFT minting and trading, to more advanced NFT-Fi apps.

Stargaze is the place to mint your first NFT if you're new to crypto, but also offers advanced trading tools for more sophisticated traders.

As an app chain, Stargaze is secured by a validator set consisting of 140 nodes. This network runs CometBFT proof-of-stake consensus and is secured and governed by STARS. Stargaze supports IBC and are pioneers of [ICS-721](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/blob/main/spec/app/ics-721-nft-transfer/README.md), the Interchain NFT transfer standard.
