“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”
Amidst the dynamic landscape of February, Atlas Grace witnessed a whirlwind of generosity and progress. From an anonymous Star Atlas community member’s remarkable donation of over 650 $POLIS to unlocking the doors to the coveted Foundation Room, the month was filled with pivotal moments. The expansion of our fleet with 30 new ships further bolstered our presence in the metaverse. Notably, the collaboration between the Star Atlas team and NeoSwap resulted in proceeds being donated to Atlas Grace through unique skin sales, amplifying our impact. Harvesting a total of 30 million R4 to date from donated claim stakes marked a significant milestone, while achieving official recognition as a DAC in the Star Atlas metaverse shows our growing influence. Moreover, as I relocated to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the search for a rental space is underway to establish Atlas Grace’s physical location, enabling free workshops, education, and job opportunities. Additionally, the honor of Atlas Grace being nominated for a Joni award highlights the love our community has for the work we are doing. Furthermore, the heartwarming gesture of a community member matching dollar for dollar donations, driving our mission forward. Join us as we delve into the details of these remarkable events, shaping the narrative of an inclusive web3 world.
Star Atlas Fleet Report
The fleet now comprises 197 ships and 22 Claim Stakes. With the growth we’ve had in the past few months, I’d say it’s fairly certain that next month we’ll be celebrating 200 ships enlisted in our fleets. Having more ships enables us to participate in SAGE labs and compound our efforts. Once scholarships and ship lending go live, we can offer these resources for free to our scholars, enabling them to enter the game and start earning without any upfront costs. The aim is for them to eventually earn enough to purchase their own ships. The expansion of ships in the Atlas Grace fleet signifies the potential to support more scholars through the program. Alternatively, for the scholars already involved, it means access to larger fleets, accelerating their path to independence and allowing them to establish themselves in the Star Atlas metaverse.

Donation Report
The $ATLAS and $POLIS prices saw a nice pump towards the end of the month allowing us to earn even more for this months donation. We were quite happy with the total raised of $83.80 USDC. However as mentioned in the above, we were taken back by a member from the Star Atlas community who offered to match dollar for dollar our donations for the month. Our only request was that they helped choose the charity they’d like to see the funds go to.
4,350 Atlas emissions
128.69 Polis emissions
converted daily to USDC
Total = $83.60 USDC x 2 (dollar for dollar matching)
Grand total = $167.80
Our only request with the community member matching our donations dollar for dollar was that they helped choose the charity. After narrowing it down from an extensive list of charities on The Giving Block we found Daring Girls to be the beneficiary for this months donations.
The Daring Girls wallet address and record of the transaction can be found here using Solscan. You can learn more about Daring Girls on their official website & Twitter X page:

What’s Next For Atlas Grace?
We will continue to donate monthly to IRL charities using the Star Atlas Fleet & Locker staking rewards. The vision for 2024 is to set up a physical location in Siem Reap Cambodia where teens & young adults can have a safe and fun environment to learn, game & make friends not only in their local area but online amongst THE BEST web3 gaming community out there.
As many of you may already know, Siem Reap is a place near and dear to my heart. I spent more than 5 years teaching, mentoring and building friendships and connections there. I‘ve now returned and am actively looking for a rental space where I can once again continue this work, setting up gaming computers, holding free workshops and teaching financial literacy, 3D & graphic design and of course all things Star Atlas.
I look forward to bringing you more good news in next month’s report. If you found this report worthwhile please follow along on Medium & Twitter.
