Star Atlas is a space-based MMORPG(massively multiplayer online game) based on Solana blockchain. The game uses Unreal Engine 5's real-time graphics technology to make the game look like a movie.

The Star Atlas team wants to bring asset ownership to the masses and become the first AAA game built entirely on blockchain technology.

In 2021, the first year of the metasomes, the market value of the first Roblox stock of the metasomes reached 40 billion DOLLARS on the first day of the public offering in March. For a time, the meta-universe has become the focus of attention and pursuit of major institutions and capital. At home and abroad, the universe is in a blaze. Tencent, the Chinese gaming giant, has already begun to make plans for metaverse games, while Roblox and Epic are on the list of investors to build what they propose as a "complete Internet". In addition, Microsoft, NetEase and so on have also entered, increase the investment in the "meta-universe".

Choosing the right blockchain and optimized smart contracts is an important foundation for decentralized gaming. All items found by the player, whether raw materials found on distant planets or items made to repair ships, must be tokenized items that the player can own in the form of NFT. The first hurdle is making sure there is enough throughput on the blockchain to process these transactions and keep transaction fees as low as possible for players to use. Because the entire experience is on a chain, and complex games like Star Atlas have a lot of player interaction, if the transaction costs are too high, as ethereum does now, many blocks can be written, which becomes a barrier to entry. Star Atlas chose to build on Solana, where the blockchain has extremely high transaction throughput, reaching 50,000 transactions per second, with high scalability, low latency and low transaction costs ($0.0001 per transaction fee). All of these factors are critical to developing a game of equal size built entirely on a blockchain.

Token name: POLIS Token amount: 360,000,000 Token distribution: private 22.5%, pre-public offering 1.5%, team 30%, liquidity award 40%.

POLIS is a governance token, and the holder can get the voting rights in DAO, manage the ATLAS token economy of DAO Treasury, determine the amount of additional issuance/reduction, and determine the investment of DAO Treasury in the game, and the holder can also get part of the income. This also makes POLIS a long-term store of value token.

Star Atlas can actually give ownership of assets to players in the form of NFT via blockchain, monetize game time with crypto assets, give full play to the concept of gold in the game, improve player revenue, and help players to store their asset revenue from the game using DeFi or CeFi tools. Players can use these NFT in a variety of ways to create some form of value for themselves, such as using ships to explore space, using land to complete missions, creating new materials, or even creating their own NFT.

1. Star Atlas is the first Solana based AAA NFT game, Star Atlas belongs to MMORPG track. 2. Star Atlas provides players with an immersive meta-cosmic gaming experience that combines movie-quality gaming with earning virtual assets that can be exchanged for real currency. 3. The team members behind Star Atlas have decades of experience in game developers and have participated in the development and production of well-known games and movies. 4. Star Atlas introduces the core of social interaction, policy governance and economic models, and is the first GameFi IEO project launched by FTX.

Unlike the minimalist style of most games, the Star Atlas project uses Unreal Engine 5 technology to achieve cinema-quality visuals.

1. Play-to-earn games are exploding in the market, but none come close to the quality of Star Atlas. They're building a TRIPLE-A game with deep character creation, a rich story, and some of the best development tools in the video game industry. 2. In addition to blockchain gamers, Star Atlas can also appeal to hardcore gamers through high risk and high reward gameplay (players can earn high rewards or risk losing their ships permanently in battle). At the same time, the vast universe and space theme in the game will attract a large number of sci-fi fans. 3. The experienced team behind Star Atlas is also one of the highlights. They are professional video game makers, virtual world builders, engineers, and artists coming together to create a play-to-earn game on a scale never seen before.

EVE Online, Star Atlas's rival, has seen its currency depreciate significantly in the past, and one of the main reasons why ISK and other game assets fluctuate in EVE Online is that the game itself has no "deflationary" mechanism. Players can accumulate assets indefinitely, such as bigger ships or other in-game assets, and since there is no limit to the amount of currency that can be generated in the game, inflation keeps climbing. In EVE Online, most players are trying to figure out which way to play to earn ISK faster. Star Atlas has a fixed total supply of Atlas that can be earned from the game. Players must use ATLAS to invest resources to make, mine, or explore the galaxy, and players can also earn ATLAS as a reward for their playing time. The ATLAS release rate will be optimized by the development team for new players and can be changed through DAO voting. The DAO ruling will also affect how ATLAS is destroyed, which prevents it from becoming an unlimited distribution situation like ISK, in contrast to EVE Online, where the economy is completely controlled by developer CCP.

Star Atlas aims to provide an immersive metacosmic gaming experience that spans multiple genres and combines movie-quality gaming experiences with the ability to earn virtual assets that can be exchanged for real money. It plans to displace its competitors by outdoing them on multiple fronts. To date, no blockchain game has combined as many different types of gameplay as Star Atlas. While some games offer the option to earn money by wager, compete with other players for virtual assets, or explore virtual worlds and form alliances, no game does all of the above.

The mechanics and gameplay of the development cycle game are very similar to that of a very famous foreign game "EVE Online". EVE is also compared in the project's white paper. We can see that nothing is different from EVE except the features that blockchain gives us. Star Atlas claims it's going to be a TRIPLE-A masterpiece, and it's going to be no better than EVE. EVE has been in development for eight years. Not to mention whether the project will actually succeed. In the current market, Defi has just been blowing wind for a year before switching to NFT and now GameFi. It was obvious that going through the five phases of the project would take a lot of time. Long hours of development are a must in big games, but in the world of blockchains, the market may not have that much patience.

Overall, Star Atlas is an exciting blockchain game, which is highly anticipated by many investors and has a very ambitious vision. But Star Atlas is still at a very early stage, and the mini game has been delayed, with the official launch date to be determined. It remains to be seen whether the long development cycle can adapt to the rapid development of the blockchain industry. If Star Atlas succeeds, it could be a turning point for blockchain gaming and even revolutionize the global gaming industry.
