What is Sage Labs Starbased?

SAGE Labs is Star Atlas’ browser-based 4X strategy game, built entirely on the Solana blockchain. It’s a play-to-earn experience where every action, exploring, mining, crafting, and transporting, is signed and settled on-chain.

Unlike traditional games, SAGE Labs features an on-chain economy where players can earn ATLAS, the native in-game currency. ATLAS is a crypto token that:

  • Can be used to buy ships, crew, and resources in the Star Atlas Marketplace

  • Can be traded directly on the Solana blockchain using decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as Jupiter or Raydium

Everything you collect or produce, ships, resources, crafted components, exists as digital assets in your wallet, giving you full ownership and compatibility across the Star Atlas ecosystem.

Key Features of SAGE Labs:

  • On-chain Gameplay: Every move, mine, or craft is a blockchain transaction.

  • Fleet Management: Import ships, crew, and resources to form strategic fleets.

  • Exploration & Resource Mining: Discover valuable materials across the Galia Expanse.

  • Crafting & Transport: Build refined goods and deliver them between starbases.

  • Earn ATLAS
    There are multiple ways to earn ATLAS while playing:

    • Sell mined or crafted resources to other players

    • Craft items and components, then sell them on the open market

    • Rent your fleet to others using Fleet Rental

    • Contribute resources to Starbase upkeep and earn Loyalty Points (LP), redeemable for ATLAS

    • Craft and sell Faction Infrastructure Contracts (FICs) for guaranteed ATLAS buyback at select starbases

To Get Started, You’ll Need:

  • A Solana wallet (like Phantom)

  • Some SOL for transactions

  • ATLAS to buy ships, crew, and R4 resources (Fuel, Food, Ammo, Toolkits)
