What Is Star Atlas (ATLAS)?

Star Atlas is a blockchain-based, space-themed video game. The multiplayer game uses the latest technologies to provide cinematic-quality visual experiences to its players.

The game aims to fuse blockchain with gaming technologies and present a cohesive experience both online and offline. The game is built on the Solana blockchain for a largely serverless and secure gaming experience.

Star Atlas aims to monetize the time that users spend on the platform. Unlike many other similar games, Star Atlas is completely decentralized, wherein players fully own and resell the NFT-enabled assets they acquire. Game scenarios are executed by real-time smart contract. Additionally, players engage in DeFi activities that are directly integrated into the game interface. Also, there is an NFT marketplace for peer-to-peer asset exchange. Besides this, the on-chain governance model gives a high degree of political control to its users. 

The video game is based on a “dual token economy.” ATLAS is the utility token, whereas POLIS is the governance token of Star Atlas. Players can use ATLAS tokens as an in-game currency to purchase assets and NFTs. Whereas holders of POLIS tokens gain voting rights on game rules and establish jurisdictional ownership over entire regions in the space cities.
