1/ The CFT-20 marketplace is now live at !
👉 Swap $ROIDS or any of the 3k+ CFT-20s deployed on
@cosmoshub
👉 Permissionless & non-custodial
👉 Flexible enough to expand to art/PFPs very, very soon!
Let’s take a look 🧵👇
Wallet support has landed! ☄️☄️
Simply install or upgrade to the latest version of
@leap_wallet
, and you'll see $ROIDS and all the rest of your CFT-20 holdings directly in your wallet!
Life on
@cosmoshub
will never be the same 💚🐸
We're getting one question more than any other: wen marketplace?
Here's the root cause of the delay: the dreaded "double-buys"
To illustrate the problem... 🧵👇

This is no roadmap, it’s a $ROIDS-powered ragemap… and it’s how we take Asteroids from a niche to the world’s most radically experimental inscriptions protocol 🧵👇
1/ Collections are here! 🥳☄️
For 5 years,
@cosmoshub
had no native NFTs. With the launch of
@asteroidxyz
, there are now 40,000 of them! And today, they grow exponentially more powerful with collections, royalties and rarity traits…
Here’s how 🧵👇
In ~8 hrs,
@asteroidprotocol
will have official support by
@cosmoshub
! 🥳☄️
Specifically, the Hub’s introducing a “metaprotocols” module w/ its larger Gaia v15 upgrade. This ensures Asteroids data can make it on-chain. Here's what’s changing & the impact on 3rd-party tools 🧵👇
Asteroid Protocol by the numbers:
☄️ 6.5 million Asteroid-related txs
☄️ 160,000 new
@cosmoshub
users
☄️ $200,000 in fees for validators and $ATOM stakers
Funding secured! ☄️
Asteroid Protocol devs are beyond excited to be among the year's first grant recipients from
@ATOMAccelerator
🙏. Now, it's time to rock the Hub!
1/
AADAO is proud to announce the first batch of grants for 2024: Asteroid Protocol, Everstake, Lava Network & Cosmoverse.
Each project aims to advance the
@cosmoshub
through improved infrastructure, expanded use cases & increased on-chain activity.
1/ Bitcoin ordinals are evolving from a generalized protocol (one where people can publish any sort of data under the sun) to a structured framework for metaprotocols.
Correct us if wrong, but so far as we know, this evolution hasn't yet made it to other chains yet. 🧵👇
The most unfortunate missed opportunity lately with the Asteroids inscriptions protocol on $Atom
is that there's no option to buy or sell with CFT-20 tokens, such as the venerable $ROIDS
Ok, you need Atom for gas, I get it
But $ROIDS could've been king of NFTS
We're so in love 😍 with the first Asteroids article on
@Delphi_Digital
, that we decided to inscribe it for eternity on
@cosmoshub
☄️
- File size: 280kb
- Total cost: 0.038087 ATOM ($0.36)

👆 It's a golden principle for Asteroid inscriptions. Why?
Bc inscriptions don't work like smart-contracting platforms.
Remember, Cosmos Hub doesn't support smart contracts at all. So how can we even embed artwork or issue tokens on top of it? 🧵👇
"Much like ordinals have altered the fate and tokenomics of bitcoin, I believe we're watching the very earliest stages of the same thing happen on Cosmos Hub."
Braindump on how Bitcoin and Cosmos Hub inscriptions (via
@asteroidxyz
) are the two most important inscriptions platforms on the planet...
(and how they beautifully compliment one another):
1. Inscriptions really only make sense on transactional chains (meaning chains that…

Last week, we unveiled Part 1 of a $ROIDS-powered ragemap. Here’s what else we have planned to grow and advance Asteroid Protocol 🧵👇
@delphi_labs
@astroport_fi
@asteroidxyz
Launch that marketplace and trading feature, and you'll witness massive adoption.
People are craving inscriptions and they're passionate about Cosmos. Combine the two? 🤯
Fresh update deployed! ☄️
Now, the "market price" for tokens reflects an average of recent substantive trades rather than the last sale price (a number that was extremely gameable).

Today, we're beyond honored to be selected as a proposed grant recipient by the
@NeutronGrants
Program.
We dream of a world where $ROIDS and other CFT-20s flow like water between
@cosmoshub
and
@Neutron_org
. This grant would help us make it so ☄️
Now, that Asteroid NFTs have landed on
@cosmoshub
, dev efforts turn toward upgrading them with:
👉 Collections
👉 Royalties
👉 Metadata
👉 Backwards compatibility w/ existing NFTs & more!
Step 1 was drafting an NFT spec, which was just published here:
My new favorite website might just be
@coinranking
!
It's the "Coinmarketcap" of CFT-20s. See prices, charts, market caps and more for $ROIDS and other CFT-20s! Bookmark it now 🔖☄️ h/t
@Justin_Blends
Okay so you can inscribe a whole website into cosmos with
@asteroidxyz
. So I added NaNFictionV2 and infinite story stored HTML inscribed.

Inscriptions are the gateway drug for web2 devs to migrate to web3…
All devs can intuitively grasp the benefits of an open, uncensorable, always-on database, after all.
Things start breaking down when you dive into the ocean of tools required for true web3 dapps, though. 🧵👇
We're weeks away from deploying an
@asteroidxyz
launchpad for new art collections. This will allow:
☄️ Bulk uploads of artwork
☄️ Whitelists for various launch phases
☄️ Custom minting page
☄️ Artwork reveal upon minting

🤯 Historic moment! The first game built on
@cosmoshub
just appeared!
- Pay 69 $ROIDS to mint your NFT racing character
- Minters get 1 hr to win their $ROIDS back by racing in the game. Otherwise, $ROIDS go to the day's other players! ☄️
Today I bring you the first game for the Cosmos Hub built on
@asteroidxyz
To play Roidrunner, you need to mint a Runner, this will cost you 69 $ROIDS - but I'm not here for your $ROIDS 👇
Death to desktop ☠️ Full mobile support has landed on

The indexer is open source and can be run by anyone. We're optimistic that the Asteroid community will eventually rally around a decentralized indexer network, though... perhaps even one that supports smart contracts. Cosmos really was made for this moment ☄️
@asteroidxyz
this is exactly the problem with all this inscirption business...yesterday UI and indexer could not handle the volume or whatever, so many valid minting transactions were included in blocks but as the centralised indexer was lagging, those ended up invalid mints...so valid…
Per this analysis, Asteroids ☄️ have already generated 1422.158 $ATOM for validators and stakers...
@Bro_n_Bro
makes an interesting argument for thinking about how those fees are distributed, too 👇
Regarding the recent increase in transaction volumes on the
@cosmos
network, not only have the number of transactions risen, but also the Fees Paid for these transactions. Using the Spacebox Indexer, we've specifically identified blocks on the Jan 17th with encrypted memos…
Mint stats for
@RunesCFT
this morning
First mint, block 18 841 925
Last valid mint, block 18 841 956
Took 31 blocks to mint all 24.576M tokens
24 000 transactions
~3 minutes, 6 seconds
Roidrunner update: We're back!
Minting will still take time to complete since there are multiple transactions involved, but there shouldn't be issues where you don't receive it within a few minutes - depending how many people are minting at the same time
Cosmos Hub now has inscriptions. Find out why CFT-20 (Cosmos Fungible Tokens) are so relevant plus learn how to deploy and mint your own assets directly on chain with $ATOM.

Asteroid Protocol launched collections on March 28. Less than 1 month later, 225 collections are live.
That means the protocol is seeing an average of 8 collections launch every single day! 🤯☄️
Esteemed colleagues,
We are thrilled to broadcast this exhilarating update. Creators can now edit the metadata for their art-based collections on
@asteroidxyz
. That means no more stale links, typos or missing royalties. Expand transmission for details 🧵👇
Just had an incredible chat with an
@asteroidxyz
fan... They said the protocol had changed their lives.
When I asked them how, here's what they said! 👇☄️
If you knew what just happened... And it works like a charm !
Congrats for the good work
@asteroidxyz

This major upgrade is not yet public but I'm sure it won't be long given the speed of devs to deliver improvements all along... 😉

Astroport Protocol Foundation is hiring.
The launch of Asteroid Protocol far exceeded our expectations, with 1.3m total inscriptions, including 2k tokens and 9k content inscriptions in 3 days.
The team is now v. busy and seeks full-stack and smart contract developers to help 👇
Thanks to
@asteroidxyz
, 4,844 unique CFT20 tokens now exist on Cosmos Hub. With upcoming bridges to Cosmos smart contract chains, any of them could soon be LP’d on Astroport. The universe will expand overnight.
What are
@cosmos
inscriptions and why is everyone going crazy on Asteroid?
First it was $ROIDS, then it was $RUNE, then even $VEGGS minted out within minutes.
Are we in Inscriptions Summer?
We'll be streaming live on
@interchainfm
at 6PM UTC here & on YouTube.
If you want to…
Asteroid Protocol is an innovative inscription protocol for
@cosmos
that has seen strong traction. We believe this bridge will help expand the market for their inscriptions while also growing Neutron's DeFi ecosystem.
