“ 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. ”
If you haven’t already noticed, Star Atlas is pumping and this is great news for Atlas Grace. But we are just getting started and 2024 is set to be even bigger!
Starting off the month Star Atlas gave an incredible presentation at the Solana Breakpoint event in Amsterdam, showcasing some mind melting trailers of the upcoming UE5 Showroom 2.2 set to release very soon on the Epic Games store. Along side these updates were some other key products the team is looking to launch over the coming months that will help grow the player community and enhance the overall experience within the ecosystem.
The surprise and highlight of the presentation for us was when CEO of Star Atlas Michael Wagner gave a personal mention to the work Atlas Grace is doing.

Following Michael’s presentation, he then traveled to Southeast Asia, meeting with small gaming communities in Thailand, the Philippines, and Guam. From several Twitter posts (X), he expressed considerable excitement about the future of Star Atlas and Web3 gaming in the region, and understandably so. Southeast Asia holds one of the largest potentials for growth, and with a platform like Star Atlas operating on the Solana Blockchain, there’s a tremendous opportunity for these developing countries to benefit from this emerging ecosystem.
Star Atlas Fleet Report
The fleet now consists of 108 ships and 11 Claim Stakes. A regular gift of 420.69 $ATLAS has been consistently appearing in the Atlas Grace wallet every day this month from a generous community member. This generosity has enabled us to acquire a few more XX Small ships to supplement the fleet. Surpassing the 100-ship mark was indeed a significant milestone, as we had aimed to achieve this by the year’s end, and by early November, we reached our goal!
While the Claim Stakes remain in the Faction Fleet, the remaining ships are currently engaged in missions to mine Hydrogen in Sage Labs. This raw material is then refined into Fuel and sold on the Galactic Marketplace. Fifty percent of these sales are reinvested into the Atlas Locker, and the remaining fifty percent is converted into USDC and donated at the end of each month.
Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :
12 x Tier 1 Claim Stakes
12 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba
28 x FIMBUL Airbike
3 x FIMBUL Lowbie
25 x PEARCE X4
2 x PEARCE X5
8 x VZUS Solos
26x OPAL Jet
4 x OPAL Jetjet
Locker Report
Polis Locker Balance (as of November 30th) is 7'041.07 $POLIS earning approx. 7.9 $POLIS per day.
The locker was at 6‘781.76 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 259 $POLIS was added and 237 $POLIS rewards were earned with 50% compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.
Atlas Locker Balance (as of November 30th) is 77'777 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.22 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.
Donation Report
With the recent pump in prices of $ATLAS and $POLIS, this month was an exceptionally good month for donations. One can only imagine where things go from here heading into a bull market.
4,500 Atlas emissions
118.83 Polis emissions
converted daily to USDC
Total = $56.06 USDC
We typically conduct a monthly Twitter (X) poll to gather votes from the community regarding where they would like to see the donations directed. However, at times, we prefer to highlight an organization with which we have a personal connection.
This month, we had the honor of donating to Skateistan, an organization pioneering a global movement in skateboarding and arts-based learning. I had the privilege of visiting the center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and witnessing the significant impact it had on the local youth in the area. This experience is why we were all eager to show support for the remarkable work they do.
The Skateistan wallet address and record of the transaction can be found here using Solscan. You can learn more about Skateistan on their official website: https://skateistan.org/
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 2024 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.
