What is Star Atlas?

Licenses will be needed in the future, however, for now they aren't needed for anything. There are also plans to airdrop ship holders licenses for their given ships when they're needed.

You can find that information here but most notably: FTX, Okcoin and Raydium.

Star Atlas is a virtual gaming play-to-earn metaverse based in the year 2620. In this distant future, three major factions have emerged; The MUD Territory governed by humankind, The ONI Region as a consortium of alien races, and The Ustur Sector controlled by sentient androids. These factions are in an ongoing struggle for resources, territorial conquest, and political domination. You, a faction citizen of Star Atlas, will have the ability to influence the outcome of this intergalactic conflict while creating the opportunity to earn rewards for your contributions.

Currently, the only way to earn in Star Atlas is via SCORE. This mean you will need to buy at least one ships to generate yield. Each type of ship has it's own VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) that determine how much each asset generate in atlas on a daily period. Many tools such has Score Calculator can help you determine witch are the current best offer on the market to generate yield at this moment.
‍
But the real question is How much money can you make?

A important query for plenty of participants and investors! Michael Wagner, CEO of Star Atlas, recently indicated in an interview that he anticipates an annual return on investment of more than "100 percent" for each ship. Additionally, there were reports that the APR would be between 7 and 15 percent monthly. However, with the recent crypto crash that lead all the crypto currency to go on a down fall, we have reported that the annual return on investment is most likely to be under 60% a year. This is due to Atlas falling down in the last months (Currently pay the same amount of atlas but the currency "Atlas" is worth less).

$ATLAS will serve as the native in-game currency within Star Atlas. $ATLAS is inflationary in nature and will match the overall growth of the in-game economy. $POLIS is the governance token used at each level of governance, representing financial stake in the game, voting power in the DAOs where it is staked and control of the treasury. $POLIS has a fixed supply that won't grow.

Beginning on August 26, 2021, FTX, Raydium, and Apollo-X hosted the sale of the much awaited Star Atlas metaverse tokens, powered by Solana, kicking off the subsequent play-to-earn enabled GameFi revolution. Holders of meta-posters had access to an additional allocation of ATLAS and POLIS tokens in the two IDOs.

Star Atlas was launching an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) on FTX and an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) on both the Apollo-X and Raydium launchpad platforms in order to ensure a fair and transparent launch of its tokens in all relevant countries throughout the world.

Star Atlas and Star Atlas DAO, both of which have the tickers ATLAS and POLIS, respectively, are the two tokens that make up the next-generation blockchain gaming experience. The Star Atlas token (ATLAS) has a total quantity of 36 billion while the Star Atlas DAO (POLIS) token has a total supply of 360 million (the "1 percent'ers"). At launch, there was a circulating supply of 2,160,000,000 Star Atlas and 21,600,000 Star Atlas DAO.

Across the three platforms, a total of 2% of each token's entire supply was open for raising. The auction offers a total value of $2 million US in both tokens at a 1:1 split at a token price of $0.00138 for Star Atlas (ATLAS) and $0.138 for Star Atlas DAO (POLIS).

A total of 720,000,000 Star Atlas and 7,200,000 Star Atlas DAO tokens have been distributed among the platforms, with $1 million going to the FTX IEO and $500,000 going to Raydium and Apollo-X.

Star Atlas CEO Michael Wagner made a helpful video tour to help people understand how to join and what the prerequisites are across all platforms. The video also provides answers to a number of frequently asked questions regarding meta-poster holders' access to this launch. To discover more, see the YouTube video.

To purchase some NFT ship in Star Atlas, make sure you have already follow the rule about creating a cryptocurrency wallet on the Solana blochain and bring funds on it via USDC, ATLAS or Solana token (Can be convert for USDC on Raydium).

The next step in buying your ship will be determining which ship to buy. You can just buy the ship you want to get from the market (USDC or ATLAS) or you can also make a smart move and buy a ship that trades below VWAP (Volume-weighted average price). The second option will most likely give you a better return over time on your purchase since you are buying a ship at a discounted price. To check the best deal at the moment, we recommend you to check the great tool created by the Aephia Guild.

How to purchase a ship on the marketplace?

To purchase a ship, you will need to lead your way on the Star Atlas marketplace. Once you are there, simply chose the ship you want to purchase and select if you want to buy the ship with Atlas or USDC

To place your order, simply follow the next image, and voilà! The last step will be to go in your inventory and claim the ship after you receive it (normaly take 1-5 minutes)

Around the end of 2020, four significant individuals had the initial concept of Star Atlas:

• CEO Michael Wagner (Chief Executive Officer). In addition to Tokes Platform, EDEN, Multichain Ventures, Automata, and most recently Star Atlas, serial entrepreneur Michael has built numerous technological firms focusing on cutting-edge blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. He has more than ten years of experience in capital markets research, is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), has more than twenty-four years of experience in gaming, and more than four years of leadership in technological development.

• CRO Pablo Quiroga (Chief Revenue Officer). Over the past ten years, Pablo's worldwide business ecosystem has given rise to a number of successful businesses, giving him experience in supply chain management, strategic market penetration, and business analytics. Pablo plays a variety of roles in businesses like Vanguard Scientific Systems, Reconscious Medical, Fuelixir, and continues with Star Atlas. He has been a leader, a creator, and an investor. The blockchain community can benefit from Pablo's exposure to digital therapies for psychedelic mental health and plant-based supply chains. Blockchain, in Pablo's opinion, is the mycelium of the IT sector.

• CPO Danny Floyd (Chief Product Officer). With EA Westwood Studios, Danny began his tech career working on Earth and Beyond, the first MMORPG set in space. He co-founded Foware with his brother and continued first-party video game and software development for another ten years after eight years of releasing AAA products with Electronic Arts (EA), Mythic Entertainment, 3G Studios, and 1047 Games.

You might be confuse about which token might be the best investment for you. But to make this decision, its important to understand the 2 currency and the differences between them!

ATLAS

ATLAS, also called Star Atlas is the payment tokenused as a medium of exchange.It is inflationary, aiming to matchthe growth of the in-gameeconomy and provide a solidmonetary base for in-gameeconomic interactions and onramps to enter the game. More information

‍

POLIS

POLIS, also called Star Atlas DAO is the governance tokenused at each level of governance,representing financial stake inthe game, voting power in theDAOs where it is staked, andcontrol of the Treasury. It has afixed supply that will not grow(unless a decision to the contrarywill be made by governancedown the line). More Information

Depending on what you are looking for, you might consider one better then an other for your investment plan.

ATMTA, Inc. engaged Kudelski Security to perform a code review of the GATE Proxy Rewarderand Snapshot programs. The assessment was conducted remotely by the Kudelski Security Team. Testing took place from June 20 - July 1, 2022, and focused on the following objectives:

• Provide an assessment of ATMTA's overall security posture and any risks that were discovered within the environment during the engagement.
• To provide a professional opinion on the maturity, adequacy, and efficiency of the security measures that are in place.
• To identify potential issues and include improvement recommendations based on the result of tests.

During this review, Kudelski spent considerable time working with ATMTA developers to determine the correct and expected functionality, business logic, and content of the DAO program architecture to ensure that the code implementation and program design are free of issues or vulnerabilities. Following this discovery phase the teams worked through the following categories:

• Authentication
• Authorization and Access Control
• Injection and Tampering
• Configuration Issues
• Logic Flaws
• Cryptography

During the Secure Code Review, Kudelski discovered 1 finding that had a medium severity rating, as well as 1 finding that had a low severity rating and 4 informational findings. ATMTA has taken steps to mitigate these issues and is awaiting an updated report from Kudelski which will be made available to the public. None of these findings affected user funds.

Furthermore, the other DAO-related programs -- Tribeca's locked-voter and governor program, and Goki SmartWallet -- have passed audits by a third-party on behalf of Tribeca and are in the pipeline for additional audits by Kudelski. ATMTA continues to engage Kudelski to perform threat modeling on high risk entry points to all our Solana programs.

No audit can possibly guarantee the safety or prove the correctness of imperative programming. Neither ATMTA nor Kudelski can make any guarantees that the programs used by the DAO are completely safe. There are risks inherent to the irreversible transactions of smart contracts, including those used by the DAO.

That said, ATMTA prioritizes security in the design of all our programs. User funds are stored in individual escrow accounts, and there are no functions that can withdraw funds from escrowed funds on behalf of the user that locked them. The rewards treasury itself will be actively managed to keep it as small as necessary to pay pending rewards plus that necessary for payouts a few days into the future. Administrative functions, such as program upgrade authority and treasury emergency withdrawal will eventually be migrated to multisig control as well, pending additional audits. ATMTA is also deploying our own versions of all third-party programs to ensure that we control the source code deployed to mainnet.

Perhaps the best assurance to program readiness is the fact that the locked-voter program has already been in use on mainnet for several months. Over six million dollars in Solana project tokens are currently locked in the primary Tribeca program deployment, and other tens of millions reside in various other forks as we’re doing. Lastly, don’t forget that ATMTA will be deploying over $80m of team POLIS tokens to our own lockers, which we would not do without a very high confidence in the design and security of these programs.

‍

The Star Atlas DAO uses a voting-escrow (VE) model in which POLIS tokens are locked in an escrow account in return for voting power. This voting-escrow model favors community members with long-term conviction in the Star Atlas vision and is resilient against governance attacks such as just-in-time voting or flash loan exploits.

By locking POLIS in the locked voter program, users receive voting-escrow POLIS, or vePOLIS. These are not actual SPL tokens. They are non-transferable, and their balances decay over time. Locking one POLIS token for six months grants one vePOLIS, and a maximum five-year lock grants ten vePOLIS.

A user's vePOLIS balance decays linearly over time as the remaining time until unlock decreases. For example, a balance of 400 POLIS locked for one year provides the same amount of vePOLIS as 200 POLIS locked for two years, or 100 POLIS locked for four years.

‍

Two options come to you if your are interesting in purchasing some Star Atlas Tokens (Polis or Atlas)

First option is to purchase the token of an exchange such has FTX, Okcoin... Buying the tokens on those exchanges give you few constrain since none of those coin are really at your disposition until you ask to withdraw it from the platform.

The second option is slightly more difficult but give you more control over your tokens. The following example will explain step by step how to purchase the tokens.

For this example, we are going to use Binance (or any other exchange that offer solana) and a wallet compatible with the Solana network, either phantom, sollet or other... The goal is to purchase Solana tokens on a centralized exchange and send those tokens to the phantom wallet (or the one you are using on the solana blockchain) and then trade it for Polis or Atlas in Raydium (Decentralized exchange). Below you can see a step by step video so you can get rid of any doubt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVF8b5FAyrI

You only need to go to Raydium and copy the Star Atlas contract in order to find the token or look for it by name in the tokens section if you already have SOL in your Solana network wallet to pay for commissions. You can locate this by searching for Star Atlas Coin on Coinmarketcap or Coingecko, or you can copy the contract from the Solana network directly below:

Atlas: ATLASXmbPQxBUYbxPsV97usA3fPQYEqzQBUHgiFCUsXx
Polis: poLisWXnNRwC6oBu1vHiuKQzFjGL4XDSu4g9qjz9qVk

You can locate the token through this contract in order to swap it for the desired cryptocurrency in Raydium. In addition to including the token in your wallet, you can also view how much you previously spent.

Currently, Star Atlas has around 100,000 players enrolled in factions. We can count ~ 32,000 people in the MUD faction, ~ 36,000 people in the ONI faction and ~ 31,000 people in the Ustur Faction.

Check the live countdown and we also invite you to check the latest report (state of the economy) made by Star Atlas to learn more about the players activity on the platform!

The snapshot for poster rewards was already taken so you won't receive the rewards for the posters. However, that doesn't mean poster holders won't be airdropped something. That is purely speculation, though.

There are many resources created by the community for this purpose. One that we noticed that the community uses a lot is: https://explorer.staratlas.club/ships/staking

Initially, few poster where available on Opensea. This have been put in place to let people that was using the ethereum blockchain to purchase some of the poster from the initial sale without using the Solana Blockchain.

Star Atlas posters on Opensea are no longer available and can only be purchased through the current marketplace (this means any other website other than Star Atlas marketplace or anyone claiming to be Star Atlas on Opensea is a scammer)

Real Star Atlas profile on Opensea: Here (Don't purchase any poster on Opensea)

Go to play.staratlas.com/market -> click on ship/cosmetic/resource you'd like to buy -> Scroll down and click the "TRADE MARKETPLACE" button -> Put in the size(how many ships you want) and the price -> click BUY NOW -> confirm on wallet -> Go to inventory and claim whatever it is that you bought.

Choosing your faction is something very important in your Star Atlas journey. Here's some information about each faction that might help you figure out your thing based on the different traits.

‍

MUD Faction

MUD-controlled space provides proximity to raw materials that serve a core purpose in the component manufacturing process for distant astronautical travel and ballistics technology. Join MUD to ensure the perpetual fair and powerful leadership of humankind.

Faction Traits

MUD Territory: Firepower + Industrious

‍

ONI Faction

The benefits of joining the ONI Region lie primarily in access to densely clustered raw materials within their controlled space. These materials are highly coveted in crafting advanced stealth and radar technologies, lending to the discovery of even greater breakthroughs for all sentient life.

Faction Traits

ONI Region: Diplomatic + Technological

‍

USTUR Faction

Become a part of the Ustur Sector to form your own path in this physical universe and ascend the ranks of every observable spiritual plane. Receive access to rare minerals vital in the formation of highly nimble thruster tech and top-tier hull reinforcing pipelines.

Faction Traits

Ustur Sector: Hull Strength + Exploratory

Star Atlas is built on Solana blockchain and we recommend using Phantom Wallet.

128,050,000 POLIS tokens have been set aside for rewards emissions which will follow a set curve beginning eight years after the DAO launch. 89.8% of this is reserved for POLIS staking. The emissions follow a standard distribution curve with a standard deviation of 5. An approximation is shown below.

Each time a user locks tokens or refreshes their lock (either by increasing the duration or amount), the on-chain snapshot program records the user's projected vePOLIS voting power balance for each period and records it in the user's escrow history account. Concurrently, the global balance of all vePOLIS is recalculated and updated in the snapshot program's locker history account. Therefore, the current and future vePOLIS share of every user in the locked voter program is known and updated in real-time.  

Once a period expires, the associated user escrow and locker balances are frozen and used to determine the pro-rata percentage of each user for that period. This rate is multiplied with the rewards pool to determine the user's rewards for that period.

Take into account that the documents were created a long time ago and some information is outdated. The best way to get your specific questions answered is to join the Star Atlas Discord.

Interested about the initial poster sell, well here are all the information you need to know!

Posters that have been purchased was turned into resellable NFTs and made accessible all throughout the Star Atlas marketplace. New editions has been released each Saturday starting April 24th 2021 for 14 consecutive weeks.

Is it possible to purchase some posters and receive rewards?

It is still possible to buy posters in the marketplace, but none of them will give you any rewards (all the rewards have already been collected). One of the use cases for buying some now could be to enter a special airdrop (the team has done this before) and also get your hands on some of the first NFTs created on Star Atlas.

It takes time to create a AAA game using cutting edge technology. Star Atlas is currently at least a few years away. While we wait for the AAA game to be launched, a minigame that is being developed in tandem with it offers gameplay and the opportunity to profit on assets. The first tier of the minigame is out now and it's called "SCORE". While having access to the 3D showroom, real gameplay and in-game competition will come with SCREAM.

It is currently not currently possible to purchase Star Atlas (ATLAS) or Star Atlas DAO (POLIS) on Coinbase.


If you are interested to see where the token is available and how to buy it, click here!

As part of the DAO's mandate, a portion of fees from all in-game economic activity flows to the DAO. Since the launch of SCORE in December of 2021, the DAO treasury has earned over 200 million ATLAS from the sale of in-game resources. The DAO also will be earning a portion of fees from transactions on the Galactic Marketplace, as well as from taxes on future in-game activities.

ATMTA is currently safeguarding the DAO's treasury, which will be deposited into a multisig, on-chain treasury once audits and security checks are complete.

The DAO has full control over its treasury.  It could, through on-chain governance, vote to use the treasury funds for any number of purposes, including but not limited to:

• Allocating funds to a developer for specific game or ecosystem development

• Allocating funds to the Star Atlas Foundation to provide essential services on behalf of the DAO

• Paying service providers to facilitate a DAO-hosted event

• Purchasing assets critical to the DAO's operations

Building a AAA game with cutting edge technology takes time. We're a few years out at the least. However, there is a minigame being co-developed along side the AAA game that allows for gameplay and earning on assets while we wait for the AAA game to be released. The first tier of the minigame is out now and it's called "SCORE".

While proposals are not planned as part of the v0 DAO launch, we would like to provide some information on the current roadmap and future releases.

The Star Atlas DAO will use POLIS Improvement Proposals, or PIPs, to provide information to the Star Atlas community about proposed new features, processes, or experience changes to the Star Atlas metaverse. Authors provide concise technical specifications and rationale for a feature while building advocacy within the community through engaged discussions.

In general, the PIP drafting and approval process likely will involve the following steps, subject to change and improvement based on input from the community:

• Ideation:  A member of the Star Atlas community -- even a non-voter -- discusses an idea for a PIP with input received from discussion with the community.  A PIP may concern any potential change within the jurisdiction of the Star Atlas DAO, such as a decision to deploy some portion of the Star Atlas DAO's treasury for an ecosystem development grant.

• Drafting:  The author drafts the proposal in accordance with a format that has been pre-approved by the Star Atlas DAO.  PIPs shall provide concise technical specifications and rationale for a change to the ecosystem.  The PIP author is responsible for building consensus in the community, documenting dissenting opinions, and shepherding the PIP through the entire process. PIPs may be a simple signaling memo to approve the text of the PIP, or they may include a number of on-chain Solana instructions to be executed after approval by the electorate.

• Initial Review:  The Star Atlas Council leads an initial review process.  The Star Atlas Council is an elected body of representatives of the community charged with ensuring that PIPs are consistent with the Star Atlas Constitution, which is a governing document setting forth first principles important to the Star Atlas community.  The content of the Star Atlas Constitution and the membership of the Star Atlas Council are to be determined by the Star Atlas DAO.

• Revision:  The community member revises the proposal based on feedback from the Star Atlas Council and the community.  Review and revision are an iterative process.

• Initial Approval:  The Star Atlas Council determines when a proposal is ready for submission to the electorate--at which point the proposal formally becomes a PIP.

• Advancement:  The PIP is advanced to voting via activation by a governor with a requisite amount of voting power.  PIPs undergo an activation delay of 48 hours, after which they can be voted on.

• Voting:  The full Star Atlas DAO votes on the PIP.  The PIP is approved only if both quorum and threshold voting minimums (as assigned by the Star Atlas DAO) are met.  Voting lasts for two weeks.

• Execution:  48 hours after a successful vote, the Star Atlas Foundation, an independent body charged with following the will of the Star Atlas DAO, executes an approved PIP and, if necessary, implements the PIP directly as a legal entity.  If a PIP is impossible or dangerous to implement (e.g., if it contains a malicious or illegal instruction), the Star Atlas Foundation may appeal to the Star Atlas Council and the Star Atlas DAO to reconsider the PIP.  The Star Atlas Foundation does not have unilateral authority over the Star Atlas DAO, the on-chain governance mechanism, or the treasury.

At launch, and by design, ATMTA, Inc. is the only participant with sufficient voting power to advance PIPs to a full vote. ATMTA, Inc. also holds Emergency Override authority over the governance mechanism, to be used only in an emergency to protect the Star Atlas DAO and the community (such as following the discovery of an exploit or vulnerability). ATMTA, Inc. shall lose this controlling power and Emergency Override authority once the Star Atlas DAO has reached a sufficient level of maturity, sustainability, and decentralization.

SCORE is just a codename for the first iteration, or TIER 0, of the mini game. SCORE allows you to stake your ships in a game loop that rewards you with $ATLAS over time.

Play-to-Earn refers to video games where players can earn cryptocurrency rewards and use those for in-game purchases or just to cash out in your native fiat currency.

We currently don't have a lot of information about the employees who work in Star Atlas since the team pointed out many security reasons on why it was in the interest of keeping their employees anonymous. Although we don't know most of the 200+ employees, it is possible to join their discord and talk to someone of them. The Star Atlas team also works with Sperasoft which is a company with over 435 employees.

There's a couple things that could be the issue here. You may have just put an order in and didn't actually buy it yet. You also may not have enough SOL for the fee. Lastly, you may just need to refresh the page, reconnect your wallet and check your inventory again. We also recommend using https://app.step.finance/#/dashboard, you can connect your wallet here and search for open orders and cancel them or unsettled balances and claim them.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, or DAOs, are member-controlled governance organizations whose decisions are made by a distributed set of actors and whose actions are programmatically determined by on-chain consensus mechanisms. The Star Atlas ecosystem is made up of DAOs with governance for player guilds, regional, and factional authority, and ultimately, the future for all its citizens.

At this time, only the top-level universal Star Atlas DAO is being released. Membership is obtained by locking POLIS tokens, which provide participants with voting power to make decisions that affect the Star Atlas ecosystem as a whole.

The Star Atlas DAO is guided by seven core principles:

• Quality above all:  Star Atlas shall have a high bar for look & feel and quality expectations.

• Maintaining clarity of purpose:  The Star Atlas community shall be guided by first principles enshrined in a governing document, the Star Atlas Constitution.

• Safety is paramount:  All critical Star Atlas code -- from gameplay to governance -- shall be audited with any risks mitigated to the extent possible.

• Transparency and community engagement are key:  The Star Atlas community should be as informed as possible about the state of the ecosystem and the direction in which it is headed.

• Governance is a metaverse experience:  Participation in the Star Atlas DAO should be integrated with the gameplay immersion of the metaverse, as citizens jockey for political power as expressed in vePOLIS.

• The Star Atlas Council is a guide:  The proposal process for the Star Atlas DAO shall be guided by an elected body of representatives, the Star Atlas Council.

• Improve censorship-resistance:  The Star Atlas DAO should try to increase the censorship resistance of the entire ecosystem, such as by implementing on-chain game logic where possible.

These principles, and more, will be iterated on through discussion with the community, with first principles ultimately being set forth in the Star Atlas Constitution.

Members of the Star Atlas community may, through the Star Atlas DAO, propose and vote on POLIS Improvement Proposals ("PIPs") that may enact changes to the ecosystem through on-chain instructions or broader commands that may be carried out by various actors charged with carrying out the will of the Star Atlas DAO.

Seasoned Fleet badges and any other badges after that are seemingly just visual right now. They represent how long you've had your ships enlisted in SCORE.

Let's look at the various components of the DAO architecture and how they work together:

• GokiProtocol/goki smart wallet: An m-of-n multisig that has the ability to execute any arbitrary transaction instruction on the Solana network. For example, it can be used to deploy or upgrade other on-chain programs, manage spl-token mints and assets, interact with defi apps, and manage other multisigs or DAOs. It can even interact with Star Atlas programs, although support for this is not available at this time.

• Tribeca/governor: Responsible for queuing proposals that get executed by a Smart Wallet. Proposals may be created permissionlessly, but may only be activated by a member of the governor's electorate. Once activated, the proposal may be voted on by members of the electorate. A proposal successfully passes if the voting period elapses with a quorum as well as a majority of POLIS voting power ("PVP") in favor of the proposal. Successful proposals may then be queued in the smart wallet for execution.

• Tribeca/locked-voter: A specific type of electorate program in which PVP is determined by the number of governance tokens locked as well as the lock's duration. PVP decays linearly, and tokens cannot be removed prior to locker expiration.

• Sabre/snapshot: Used to provide historical balances of the user's PVP among all participants, which is used for rewards calculations.

• ATMTA/gate: The main entry point to the DAO. Gate proxies stake operations to the locked-voter program and ensure that snapshot accounts are kept in sync. It is responsible for calculating reward distribution and payouts for each participant. Governor operations are proxied through gate as well.

Using a ledger to protect your Star Atlas asset may be what can save all your precious NFTs
‍
But how do you use it?

First, to use a ledger, you will need to purchase one on the Ledger website. Ledger is one of the most trusted one and work perfectly fine with the Solana Blockchain. The next step will be to download the phantom wallet extension and connect your ledger to the phantom integration. Once done you should see a new address in you phantom wallet. The next step to protect your asset is to transfer all your items to the new wallet address (Witch is the ledger wallet). And here we go, the last step will be to choose your faction again and you will now be protected (We advise you never to connect your ledger wallet to another site and to use your first wallet as an intermediary to trade and you connect to other apps)

Michael Wagner, CEO of Star Atlas, stated that "Ledger will work perfectly for ship enrollment. You simply can't edit your profile image or badge because they don't currently support the Sign-Message feature.

Yes, DACs have to be within the same faction. However, there are some DACs that are going to have divisions in each faction. It completely depends on the DAC and what the structure of their DAC is going to look like.

Star Atlas (ATLAS) and Star Atlas DAO (POLIS) cannot be bought on Binance at the moment.

If you are interested to see where the token is available and how to buy it, click here!

You currently can't stake them, however, $POLIS staking is slated to go live during this year (2022).

A DAC, or otherwise known as a guild/clan, is a group of like minded individuals who come together to pursue a similar goal.

Again, this is probably an issue of not having the proper funds to buy whatever it is that you're buying. Make sure you have enough ATLAS/USDC and Solana in your wallet. Also, double check the size of your order and make sure you're not trying to buy 1,000 ships instead of just the single one that you wanted.We recommend to always have at least 0.03 SOL in your wallet.

At this time, you can't just withdraw one ship from your fleet in SCORE, you have to withdraw them all.

The Star Atlas DAO is your opportunity to influence the destiny of every aspect of Star Atlas.

Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are a blockchain-native governance system and software protocol that uses automation to coordinate and execute the will of a decentralized set of human participants. DAOs rely on multi-signature wallets and on-chain proposal voting systems for member signaling and proposal execution. DAOs differ from and improve on traditional corporate structures by lowering barriers to citizenship, aligning incentives among all stakeholders, increasing transparency and reducing friction in the decision-making process, and eliminating intermediaries.

The Star Atlas DAO ecosystem is being designed as a multi-tier platform, consisting of player guilds (DACs) and sub-DAOs reflecting factional, regional, and local interests. The top level, universal Star Atlas DAO is tasked with managing monetary policy, treasury management, and game-wide decisions regulating the overall well-being of Star Atlas.

Blockchain networks such as Solana use a fee-based transaction model to incentivize network validators. Solana fees are among the lowest; most transactions use only a nominal amount of fractional SOLs, which are called lamports. In addition, transactions that need to store persistent data on Solana need to pay rent for the privilege of doing so.

The act of locking POLIS, ATLAS, Star Atlas assets, or other SPL tokens requires a small amount of rent to create escrow accounts associated with the various locking programs. In the case of the POLIS snapshot and rewards programs, additional accounts are needed to store users' calculated voting power for the duration of the lock. These fees are approximately 0.015 SOL per era, each of which runs 256 days. In other words, in addition to a nominal SOL transaction fee, you will need to pay certain amounts of SOL when locking tokens, such as in the following examples:

• A total of 0.133 SOL to begin a full five-year lock (for escrow for eight 256-day eras)

• Certain escrow fees to extend a lock (0.015 SOL per additional 256-day era)

• Zero SOL to compound rewards (other than the nominal transaction fee)

In most cases, such as with SCORE, the escrow accounts associated with locking are automatically reclaimed when exiting the program. This is not the case with POLIS voting power snapshots, as at this time the program is designed to store this data in perpetuity.

Building a AAA game with cutting edge technology takes time. Star Atlas is currently at a few years out at the least. However, there is a minigame being co-developed along side the AAA game that allows for gameplay and earning on assets while we wait for the AAA game to be released. The first tier of the minigame is out now and it's called "SCORE". While having access to the 3D showroom, real gameplay and in-game competition will come with SCREAM.

You'll need a ship, you'll need to choose a faction and you'll need the necessary resources that your ship(s) require.

The original idea was conceived by four key individuals around the end of 2020:

• CEO Michael Wagner (Chief Executive Officer). In addition to Tokes Platform, EDEN, Multichain Ventures, Automata, and most recently Star Atlas, serial entrepreneur Michael has built numerous technological firms focusing on cutting-edge blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. He has more than ten years of experience in capital markets research, is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), has more than twenty-four years of experience in gaming, and more than four years of leadership in technological development.

• CRO Pablo Quiroga (Chief Revenue Officer). Over the past ten years, Pablo's worldwide business ecosystem has given rise to a number of successful businesses, giving him experience in supply chain management, strategic market penetration, and business analytics. Pablo plays a variety of roles in businesses like Vanguard Scientific Systems, Reconscious Medical, Fuelixir, and continues with Star Atlas. He has been a leader, a creator, and an investor. The blockchain community can benefit from Pablo's exposure to digital therapies for psychedelic mental health and plant-based supply chains. Blockchain, in Pablo's opinion, is the mycelium of the IT sector.

• CPO Danny Floyd (Chief Product Officer). With EA Westwood Studios, Danny began his tech career working on Earth and Beyond, the first MMORPG set in space. He co-founded Foware with his brother and continued first-party video game and software development for another ten years after eight years of releasing AAA products with Electronic Arts (EA), Mythic Entertainment, 3G Studios, and 1047 Games.

He has created over 33 successful ventures in the gaming, blockchain, and fin-tech industries with over 11 years of experience designing apps. Jacob has been able to foster creativity and place an emphasis on innovation by serving as lead coder and tech architect on almost every project he has worked on.
