Star Atlas is built on the Solana blockchain.
Solana was chosen for its speed, scalability and low transaction costs, making it ideal for a complex, massively multiplayer online game like Star Atlas. The network supports real-time interactions between players, assets and the game world through secure on-chain actions
Why Solana?
High Performance – Solana currently supports over 65,000 transactions per second (TPS), enabling fast, smooth gameplay and frequent on-chain updates
Low Fees – Transactions on Solana typically cost a fraction of a cent, allowing for micro-interactions like crafting, resource transfers, and fleet management without high gas costs
Secure & Decentralized – Players own their assets (like ships, crew, and resources) directly on the blockchain via non-custodial wallets
From crafting resources to trading NFTs, Solana enables a seamless Web3 gaming experience that mirrors real-world economies—without compromising speed or cost.
