Star Atlas is a 3A metaverse multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) built on the Unreal 5 engine. It is set in the year 2620 and revolves around a cosmic territorial and resource dispute among three races. In this open universe, players can choose from various professions such as cargo transportation, rescue missions, ship repair, mineral mining, salvage operations, intergalactic piracy, bounty hunting, smuggling, mercenary work, and more. Each profession offers different income opportunities, but higher-income occupations also come with higher risks. During starship combat, winners receive booty rewards while losers may have a portion of their inventory assets randomly destroyed. If a starship is destroyed, the corresponding NFT assets are also lost.

Star Atlas has its own native in-game currency called $ATLAS, which serves as the lubricant of the metaverse. Players can use $ATLAS to acquire digital assets such as ships, crew, components, land, and equipment.

Star Atlas is a massive multiplayer online game set in a virtual gaming metaverse. It is built on Unreal Engine 5, providing cinema-quality, real-time environments. The game is set in a futuristic science fiction world in 2620, where three major factions compete for resources and control: MUD (humankind), ONI (alien races), and Ustur (androids).

Star Atlas combines different genres, including strategy, exploration, flight simulation, and role-playing. Players can develop tactical plans, explore and exploit stars, engage in combat, build space stations and ships, mine resources, and forge alliances. In-game assets can be exchanged for real-world currency.

Star Atlas was founded by CEO Michael Wagner, COO Pablo Quiroga, CPO Danny Floyd, and CTO Jacob Floyd. Prior to Star Atlas, Michael Wagner worked at a VC fund and Multichain Ventures. Pablo Quiroga has a background in biotechnology and founded a supplement startup.

Star Atlas aims to deliver an immersive metaverse gaming experience that combines multiple genres and offers a cinema-quality gaming experience. It allows players to earn virtual assets that can be exchanged for real-life currency. Star Atlas surpasses its competitors by offering a wide range of gameplay possibilities simultaneously, including earning via staking, battling for virtual assets, exploring the virtual world, and forming alliances.

The ATLAS token serves as in-game currency, while NFTs on the NFT marketplace function as ships and equipment. Players can choose professions and fulfill roles on spaceships. Spaceships can combine resources and compete individually or collectively. The POLIS token serves as a governance token for space cities and game decisions.

Star Atlas plans to offer an NFT marketplace, an NFT release schedule, and integration with the Serum DEX for liquidity provision and token trading.

Star Atlas is built on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its fast transaction times and low fees. Solana is a layer one blockchain with a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and partial Byzantine Fault Tolerance. It has 1500 nodes worldwide and can process up to 50,000 transactions per second.

Star Atlas announced an initial exchange offering on FTX in August, allocating $1 million. An additional $500,000 was distributed through an initial decentralized exchange offering on Raydium.

It is difficult to predict whether Star Atlas will reach a specific price target. However, as one of the most ambitious blockchain games, it has gained support from influential figures in the crypto space. If Star Atlas can deliver parts of its ambitious whitepaper, it is expected that its tokens will appreciate significantly.

ATLAS can be traded on Raydium. For more information on buying cryptocurrencies, refer to our guide.
