What is Star Atlas?

Star Atlas is a play-to-earn space exploration RPG and metaverse built on the Solana blockchain, aiming to merge a state-of-the-art blockchain, real-time graphics, multiplayer video games, and decentralized financial technologies. Realistic and cinematic quality video game visuals are made possible through the use of Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite system. Using Solana, Star Atlas has established a largely serverless and secured gameplay experience, and the game presents a vast, futuristic space exploration and territorial conquest setting where players can influence the outcome of the cosmic conflict. 

A Dual Token Economy: ATLAS & POLIS

Star Atlas follows a play-to-earn model, centered around two fungible tokens: ATLAS and POLIS. Other in-game assets such as land and ships take the form of NFTs, bringing digital scarcity and real-asset ownership to the Star Atlas world. 

• ATLAS is the in-game currency used to purchase items such as weapons, ships, land, and equipment, and paid out as rewards for completing certain objectives in the future. 
• POLIS is the governance token that allows players to vote on elements within the Star Atlas DAO, tasked with making decisions around key elements of the ecosystem - specifically: the minting, distribution, and redistribution of ATLAS within the ATLAS treasury. Where, the Star Atlas DAO earns a portion of tax revenue through gameplay.

Additionally, Star Atlas’ integrated NFT marketplace provides players unprecedented control over their assets, capable of trading NFTs in a truly decentralized economy.

The Origins of Star Atlas

Star Atlas was founded by CEO Michael Wagner, COO Pablo Quiroga, COP Danny Floyd, and CTO Jacob Floyd, with the development team assembled in 2020. The executive team brings a wealth of experience to the project, with Wagner notably holding positions at a VC fund and Multichain Ventures, and Quiroga having founded a supplement startup and operating in biotech, prior to the initiation of Star Atlas. Investors in the project include Sino Global Capital, Republic Crypto, and Animoca Brands.
