The Star Atlas DAO is your gateway to shaping the future of the Star Atlas metaverse.
“The long-term vision of Star Atlas is an autonomous, player-owned game, fully controlled and funded by decentralized governance."
– Star Atlas White Paper
At its core, the Star Atlas DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) empowers the community to propose, vote on, and enact changes that affect the entire Star Atlas ecosystem—ranging from economic parameters to gameplay rules, treasury usage, and more.
What is a DAO?
DAOs are blockchain-native governance systems that coordinate decision-making among participants without the need for traditional intermediaries. They operate through smart contracts, on-chain voting, and transparent processes that allow token holders to collectively steer the project’s direction.
DAOs improve upon legacy corporate structures by:
Reducing bureaucracy and inefficiencies
Increasing transparency and trust through public voting and funding
Aligning incentives between players, builders, and contributors
Enabling open participation from anyone who holds voting power
Structure of the Star Atlas DAO
The Star Atlas DAO is designed as a multi-tier governance ecosystem with multiple levels of community participation:
Universal DAO – The top-level Star Atlas DAO is responsible for key decisions like monetary policy, treasury management, and game-wide systems that impact the entire metaverse.
Sub-DAOs – In the future, governance will expand to include Faction DAOs, regional DAOs, and local DAOs tied to in-game locations or mechanics.
DACs (Decentralized Autonomous Corporations) – Player-run guilds that will integrate into the governance model, representing collective interests within the ecosystem. DACs are independent from the Star Atlas Council.
Star Atlas Council – A group of elected representatives tasked with reviewing proposals, ensuring they align with the Star Atlas Constitution, and supporting proposal progression within the DAO process.
Whether you're staking POLIS to earn voting power (PVP), drafting proposals, or participating in debates on Discord, the Star Atlas DAO offers a meaningful way to co-create the future of the metaverse.
