No stars ignited yet. The whole sky is open.

One coin per star, forever. Launching costs your dev buy plus about 0.02–0.03 SOL in fees and rent. Creator fees are split 70% creator, 20% Starlight Fund, 10% Starclaim. Rarity tiers describe how bright a star looks from Earth, not what its coin is worth.

Memecoins are extremely risky and can go to zero. Nothing here is financial advice. Starclaim is a fan project and is not affiliated with NASA, the IAU or any observatory. Star data: IAU WGSN names; positions from the HYG database (CC BY-SA).
