Star Atlas: an overview of the promising Play-to-Earn project

Star Atlas: an overview of the promising Play-to-Earn project

Star Atlas is a Play-to-Earn blockchain game. Players can travel through the expanses of the game’s space, mine resources, invade planets and earn real money.

The Star Atlas ecosystem is based on the Solana network and has two tokens that drive all game operations: ATLAS and POLIS. Both coins were launched as part of an IEO on the FTX exchange in 2021. Those who staked the FTT token on FTX took part in the token sale. Another pre-sale round was held on Raydium decentralized exchange launchpad.

Based on the market dynamics, ATLAS and POLIS doubled its value and brought good profits to early investors.

What is Star Atlas?

It is a 3D Play-To-Earn gaming ecosystem, where the gameplay takes place in open space, which has several races of intelligent beings. There players can explore outer space, battle on spaceships, mine on invaded planets, form guilds, alliances, and more.

ATLAS tokens are real rewards for the success gained in the arena. In order to start the game, users need to purchase the necessary inventory on the NFT marketplace: a spaceship, resource mining platforms, and other various accessories.

Where to buy tokens and how to start playing?

You are able to buy ATLAS and POLIS on FTX, GATE, MEXC and many other crypto exchanges. A complete list of trading platforms is available on the Coingecko website.

The beta version of the game will be released only after 2023 due to the technical challenges of the blockchain project. Now users are trading NFT tokens in order to be ready for the launch of space missions and battles in an enemy galaxy. Players can buy and sell in-game assets with ATLAS tokens and USDC stablecoin. POLIS will be used to solve diplomatic and political problems.

Star Atlas Deflationary Mechanics

As was mentioned above, you need to purchase a spaceship in order to start the campaign. The minimum NFT price on the market is $3, the maximum is $46,500.

A spaceship class directly depends on its combat power. User will not be able to get back the ship in case he loses it in a battle. So the money that the player spent on it is burned and to continue the campaign you need to buy a new ship.

Thus, burning tokens should provide a shortage of both coins and NFTs. There are also supposed to be a lot of people who want to earn money just by playing a computer game because of the small entry threshold. At least that's what Star Atlas authors are expecting.

Long time perspective

There is no place to use tokens yet, as the game is not ready. Yes, you can spend tokens on buying NFTs, but it’s better to trade for a stablecoin.

Both ATLAS and POLIS tokens can be farmed with USDC on Raydium and Orca decentralized exchanges. It gives users an annual interest of 5-12%. The price of ATLAS and POLIS is at an all-time low due to the fact that tokens are usually sold immediately after farming.

The developers are not in a hurry.  Star Atlas' primary goal is to create a complete gaming metaverse and it differs from some other Play-to-Earn projects who want to release a “pixelated” game as soon as possible for their own benefit. First of all, it is necessary for people to be interested in playing, and only then – to earn.

Therefore, Star Atlas may become a place where millions of gamers will spend their time, and for some other people, the game will turn into an excellent source of income.
