This week marks the transition from the z.ink A.LPHA campaign to the next phase, O.RIGIN, which officially begins tomorrow! With Claim Stakes added as a zXP-earning activity, it’s time to prepare for the start of the main airdrop grind. Alongside this, the team will host an end-of-year Town Hall this Wednesday, replacing this week’s Atlas Brew. Lastly, the results of the DAO Council elections are in, the Econ-Vantarah are forming, and we’ll wrap up this issue with a fresh batch of sneak peeks!

The team had been urging the community to tune in to last week’s Economic Forum, promising it would be a big one, and they weren’t exaggerating! The proposed economic overhaul outlined by Chris (VP of Game Economy) has the potential to fundamentally reshape ship sales, token emissions, and the Galactic Market, marking one of the most significant shifts in Star Atlas’ economic direction to date. Beyond that headline topic, this week also brings updates on Never Alone rewards, new tooling in the SAGE Editor Suite, the DAO Council election nearing its close, and another Iris’ Blessing raffle!

Reviving the Star Atlas Economy

The Star Atlas community has been asking the big question: what’s really going on with the economy? In this article, we break down the key issues—missing ATLAS sinks, overpriced primary listings, and nonstop token sales—and explain how they’ve slowly drained confidence and activity. We also share new data showing a striking 0.96 correlation between ATLAS/SOL and daily active users. When ATLAS is strong, the game feels alive. When it weakens, engagement falls. The message is clear: a healthier ATLAS means a healthier metaverse. Our new whitepaper offers a practical path forward, including market-aligned pricing, competitive ATLAS sinks, and a shift toward sustainable economic activity instead of token selling. If you want to understand how the Star Atlas economy can recover—and what needs to change—this is the place to start.

Last week’s Atlas Brew featured a special conversation with Jacob Floyd, Star Atlas Co-founder and CTO, who discussed the evolution of StarComm and what’s ahead with C4 and z.ink. Meanwhile, the team has been busy on multiple fronts, from attending the Plan B Conference in Lugano to preparing the next UE5 patch and the upcoming z.ink airdrop campaign. Overall, it’s been a relatively quiet week, so we’ll keep this one short!
