“ 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. ”
Starting out with a recap from last month, we teamed up with Lumina from Coexist guild to provide humanitarian relief for those affected by the recent earthquakes in Turkey & Syria. Even though February was a shorter month, we still managed to see growth not only in the Star Atlas locker & fleet assets but also in the amount of USDC raised. You can read the full report for February here. Needless to say, it was great to team up with our friends in the Star Atlas community.
Early in the month of March we were surprised to see 2 brand new Star Atlas NFT ships sitting in the Atlas Grace wallet. After a little on chain snooping we were unable to find out any clues as to who this generous supporter was, but we hope if they’re reading this now, they will know how much they are appreciated!
Once again our friend and long time supporter, Venom of Scythe Guild also came through with a Fimbul Unibomba from his Road to 100 charity giveaway. This pushed our fleet closer to our goal of 100 ships by end of year.
Star Atlas Fleet Report
The fleet now consists of 79 ships currently staked in Star Atlas SCORE, earning approx. 116.89 $ATLAS per day (not including resources). After resources were purchased each day, 100% of the $ATLAS emissions were exchanged for USDC. Here’s the breakdown of what fleet we rockin’ :
10 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba
19 x FIMBUL Airbike
2 x FIMBUL Lowbie
18 x PEARCE X4
1 x PEARCE X5
5 x VZUS Solos
21 x OPAL Jet
3 x OPAL Jetjet
Eventually SCORE gameplay will sunset, so these will remain in the wallet and be leased for free to Khmer youth in Cambodia. This will allow them to jump into the Star Atlas metaverse without the need for any upfront cost and have them earning their own assets within the play and earn economy.
POLIS Locker Report
Polis Locker Balance (as of March 31st) is 3,229.69 POLIS earning approx. 4.7 POLIS per day.
The locker was at 3,083.86 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 70.9 POLIS was contributed and 145.1866 POLIS rewards were earned with 50% compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.
Donation Report
The goal for this month was really just to improve on last months total. Although the price of $POLIS, $ATLAS and even $USDC took a hit, we still managed to raise more than the previous month.
2,557.60 Atlas emissions
70.47 Polis emissions
converted daily to USDC
Total = $33.64 USDC
We used Step Finance to search for reputable charities that have a verified Solana wallet address and narrowed down a shortlist of 4 charities for the Star Atlas community to vote on.
These charities were:
Project Cure
Project Hope
Save The Children
Pencils Of Promise
51 votes were cast with Save The Children being the community favorite. It was also great to see the Star Atlas community Twitter page and staff all re-tweet and share with the wider community.
The donation was then made through Step Finance to Save The Children’s verified Solana wallet address. The beauty of the blockchain allows for full transparency and immutability of our donations and the hash receipt can be found here where you can view using Solscan:
What’s Next For Atlas Grace?
We will continue to donate monthly to IRL charities using the Star Atlas Fleet & Locker staking rewards. The longer vision 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 hope to return in 2023 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.
As you can see from the graphics above, the snowball is starting to form and this is only the beginning! If you’d like to get involved and help see this grow to it’s full potential, please get in touch!
We are always looking for like minded people that are willing to support and this doesn’t mean only monetarily. A simple like, comment or re-tweet is a huge encouragement and you never know who in your friends list may see it and be inspired to help OR start something of their own.
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.
