How is Star Atlas bringing the metaverse to blockchain and gaming?
The metaverse is a connected digital universe where users can interact, play, trade, build and even earn—in real time and often across multiple experiences.
In Star Atlas, the metaverse comes to life through a combination of:
-
Immersive 3D gameplay in Unreal Engine 5
-
A real in-game economy powered by crypto and NFTs
-
Social and strategic collaboration between players and guilds (DACs)
-
Decentralized governance through the Star Atlas DAO
Where Does the Word Come From?
The word "metaverse" originally came from the 1992 sci-fi novel Snow Crash, blending “meta” (beyond) and “universe.” It describes a virtual world where people live digital lives through avatars—and that vision is now becoming a reality.
How Is Star Atlas a Metaverse?
Unlike traditional games, Star Atlas isn’t just a single game—it’s a growing ecosystem:
-
You can fly ships, explore and battle in the 3D world (UE5 Game)
-
You can craft, mine,and earn in a browser-based strategy game (SAGE)
-
You can trade NFTs and resources in a live economy
-
You can own your assets, vote on proposals and participate in the game’s future via the Star Atlas DAO
Together, these features make Star Atlas a living metaverse where players aren’t just users—they’re citizens, builders and stakeholders
