ATLAS

ATLAS is the in-game currency used for transactions and serves as a medium of exchange. Its inflationary nature is designed to mirror the growth of the in-game economy and provide a stable monetary foundation for economic interactions and entry into the game.

The chart depicts the total circulating supply of ATLAS over time. As the in-game economy grows, the supply increases at a similar rate. To gain further insight, it's useful to track the exchange rate of ATLAS to USD to understand the value of the circulating supply in terms of USD.

We track daily ATLAS trading activity across all Solana DEXs by categorising exchanges as either 'Sell' (ATLAS for other assets) or 'Buy' (other assets for ATLAS).

The ATLAS Locker is a strategic tool that offers in-game advantages for players to utilize. To succeed in Star Atlas, it's not just about putting in the time, but also making smart decisions. We keep a close eye on the overall ATLAS locked by players.

By analyzing the daily percentage of ATLAS locked by players using historical data, we can track the growth over time. We use a regression line, also known as the line of best fit, to identify the overall trend. A downward sloping line would indicate a downtrend. Additionally, we use time series forecasting to predict growth for the next 7 days. As we gather more historical data, these predictions become more accurate and help us anticipate changes in player behavior. The shaded area around the forecast represents a 95% confidence interval.

Monitoring the daily number of new wallets engaging with the ATLAS Locker can provide insight into the growth of locker usage. To account for the initial surge of new wallets, we use a logarithmic scale on the y-axis for ease of visualization. However, it's important to note that this can be misleading for identifying trends over time.

ATLAS locker provides discounts to fees on the Star Atlas Marketplace. Understanding the amount of ATLAS locked each day and the player fee discounts gives us an idea of the amount of ATLAS on average each player is locking up. An average fee reduction 0-10% indicates players on average are locking 0-10,000 ATLAS. This ranges all the way up to an 85% fee reduction indicating a player has locked 72,800,000 ATLAS. 

Monitoring the trend in average fee reduction is a great way to understand the overall utilisation of the ATLAS locker by players. A rising trend in average fee reduction indicates players locking more ATLAS to take advantage of higher marketplace discounts. Conversely a decreasing trend indicates players locking less ATLAS and thus not receiving the maximum marketplace discounts on offer. 

Now that we understand the new circulating supply of ATLAS each day and we also know the amount of ATLAS players lock each day we can create a measure of the % of new supply locked. 

Applying a light blue average line gives us a view over time of how much new supply equivalent is being locked in a given day. 

A black dotted trend line gives us an idea of increases or decreases in trend. 

Players exchange various tokens for ATLAS using on ramps and exchange ATLAS for other tokens using off ramps. The visualizations below showcase the most significant on and off ramps for ATLAS over time, identifying any data anomalies. Monitoring the flow of ATLAS in and out of the Star Atlas economy through on and off ramps is vital for understanding the movement of players and the overall health of the economy. Additionally, by filtering the data by specific time periods, it is possible to identify changes in on and off ramp behavior and discern any correlations with macro-economic conditions and trends beyond the Star Atlas ecosystem.
