            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — July Report 2024</h3><blockquote><strong><em>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</em></strong></blockquote><p>This month brought exciting progress for Atlas Grace! We received a Tier 2 Super Phoenix Dao Data Cube NFT donation, opening up future funds through staking and diversifying our assets to the broader <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> ecosystem. All of our scholars have now advanced to Tier 3 starter packs. We also kicked off free design lessons with two scholars putting their new found skills to practical use, and one scholar secured a web3 job through our community connections. There’s much to celebrate, so let’s dive into this month’s highlights!</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 288 ships and 27 Claim Stakes. With the current game style being Hydrogen mining, we switched some of our Mamba Ex’s our for an Armstrong IMP Tip &amp; Tap for more efficiency. We were also able to add one more Tier 1 Claim Stake to the mix. The core fleet of ships mining in Sage Labs allows us to pay for the running costs of our new location as well as save for some equipment like desks, chairs &amp; hopefully computers in the future.</p><p>Of the 288 ships currently owned by Atlas Grace, 67 of these are now in the hands of our budding Scholars.</p><p>Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*LEM7Rt6Ig8LyGSeF9wAo4w.jpeg" /><figcaption>July Fleet Report showing assets held by Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><p><strong><em>27 x Tier 1 Claim Stakes<br>13 x IMP Tip<br>1 x IMP Tap<br>5 x VZUS Ambwe<br>18 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba<br>45 x FIMBUL Airbike<br>39 x FIMBUL Lowbie<br>3 x CALICO Maxhog<br>1 x FIMBUL BYOS Packlite<br>1 x TUFA Fiest<br>1 x OGRIKA Niruch<br>43 x OGRIKA Ruch<br>21 x VZUS Solos<br>6 x OPAL Jetjet<br>1 x FIMBUL BYOS Earp<br>2 x RAINBOW Chi<br>41 x PEARCE X4<br>6 x PEARCE X5<br>1 x PEARCE F4<br>2 x PEARCE X6<br>38 x OPAL Jet</em></strong></p><h3>Locker Report</h3><p><strong>Polis Locker</strong> Balance (as of July 31th) is 8&#39;883 $POLIS earning approx. 8.8 $POLIS per day.</p><p>The locker was at 8&#39;745 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 264 $POLIS was earned in emission rewards with 50% being compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.</p><p><strong>Atlas Locker</strong> Balance (as of June 30th) is 77&#39;777 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.2 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*uNn4e04KnCOEVNDbV4Hr5g.jpeg" /><figcaption>July Locker Report showing assets locked by Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><h3>Donation Report</h3><p>With the sell pressure from FTX liquidators, the prices of $ATLAS and $POLIS continued on a down trend this month compared to the previous months. Nevertheless, we still managed to raise $33.21 for charity. In the later months of this year, we should see the bull run start to take shape where we should see higher $POLIS prices and thus also larger donations made each month. We are fast approaching a total of $1&#39;000 USD raised for charities since our monthly donations started in 2023.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lPFdYv8yLUFLgRJMfsnFAQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>July Donation Report showing emissions from the Star Atlas staking and their conversion to USDC.

We also think that the <a href="https://ugandanwaterproject.com/">Ugandan Water Project</a> is a pretty worthy cause. They exist to see Uganda as a nation liberated from the bondage of water-borne disease and poverty as communities leverage the transformative power of clean water to empower all people to live the lives they were created for.</p><p>If you’d like to learn more about <a href="https://ugandanwaterproject.com/">Ugandan Water Project</a>, visit their website:</p><p><a href="https://ugandanwaterproject.com/">https://ugandanwaterproject.com/</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*OtCvvBive3ECQ_NhnGYmNw.jpeg" /><figcaption>July donations made to Ugandan Water Project.</figcaption></figure><p>We found and donated to <a href="https://ugandanwaterproject.com/">Ugandan Water Project</a> through <a href="https://medium.com/u/427c537a41e7?source=post_page-----c9d7c4c45fd9--------------------------------">The Giving Block</a> <a href="https://thegivingblock.com/">website</a> that accept crypto donations to hundreds of charities around the world.</p><p>The <a href="https://ugandanwaterproject.com/">Ugandan Water Project</a> wallet address and record of the transaction can be found <a href="https://solscan.io/tx/526Nwpy1fewxeGMVbsSru8cuN1Varu6AGe6uv52zfnuKeKLQ2VfUUXYxdQHDprmiRBe1wykDauLFWBMAntWPRTDZ">here</a> using<a href="https://medium.com/u/3deeca7e9c20">Solscan</a>.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/898/1*0vsG2tg7V7TDQOgIF67yoA.jpeg" /><figcaption>Transaction receipt of donation. The USDC was converted to SOL and sent through The Giving Block.</figcaption></figure><h3>Scholarship Program</h3><p>For those following our expanding Scholarship program, we welcomed our sixth scholar last month. We have reached our capacity to onboard more scholars for now, but will continue to compound our growth and hopefully expand in the coming months.</p><p>We’ve been excited to start our free design lessons at the Atlas Grace center here in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Two of our scholars joined us this month learning new skills in Adobe illustrator. Our Scholar Voan showing particular interest as he needs to design a logo for his local village outreach program. In the coming weeks he will create a social media page and share some of the amazing work he is doing to improve the lives of his fellow Khmer people. Stay tuned for more on this in next month’s report.</p><p>Lastly our Scholar Johm has secured a moderator role with the beloved <a href="https://purionsolana.com">Puri On Solana</a> project. This is hopefully the begining of many connections that we can make for the Scholars here to earn on the global stage. These opportunities bring them out from Cambodia’s current economic issues and begins to showcase the amazing hard work and talent that the Khmer people have to offer.</p><p>If you’re looking to hire or need freelance work, we want to hear from you! We set up our discord server so you can speak to the Scholars directly, so be sure to join in to the Atlas Grace community and say hi!</p><p><a href="https://discord.gg/ZjEse5ZdVP">https://discord.gg/ZjEse5ZdVP</a></p><h3>What’s Next For Atlas Grace?</h3><p>We will continue to donate monthly to IRL charities using the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> Fleet &amp; Locker staking rewards. The vision for 2024 is to grow the number of our scholars in our physical location here in Siem Reap Cambodia where teens &amp; young adults can have a safe and fun environment to learn, game &amp; make friends not only in their local area but online amongst THE BEST web3 gaming community out there.</p><p>As many of you may already know, Siem Reap is a place near and dear to my heart. I spent more than 5 years teaching, mentoring and building friendships and connections here. I’m looking forward to continue this work, setting up gaming computers, holding free workshops and teaching financial literacy, 3D &amp; graphic design and of course all things <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a>.</p><p>I look forward to bringing you more good news in next month’s report.

With over 13 years of experience in this field, they’ve learned to be adaptable and responsive to the unique needs of different communities and that each woman is unique in how she defines success. This allows them to co-create programs with the women and find innovative solutions that work within their lived context, ensuring they can regain control of their life but also that the next generation are able to break cycles of poverty and isolation in creative, sustainable, and generative ways.</p><p>You can learn more about <a href="https://www.freethegirls.org/">Free The Girls</a> on their official website:</p><p><a href="https://www.freethegirls.org/">Free The Girls</a></p><p>The <a href="https://www.freethegirls.org/">Free The Girls</a>’ wallet address and record of the transaction can be found <a href="https://solscan.io/tx/29hidY7TjUKXgAUba1QgM3sG5ZGevXsMyDEvkMZWp6bNbYJaXoqUsfTf3j3m7fhdtayQZvPScmjWkNAy8SFVS4a2">here</a> using <a href="https://medium.com/u/3deeca7e9c20">Solscan</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6ycWubZ_rr7TzqxEjDILtw.jpeg" /><figcaption>Transaction receipt of donation.

Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</em></strong></blockquote><p>Exciting times are upon us at Atlas Grace this month! We’ve opened our new physical location in Siem Reap, Cambodia, providing a vibrant hub for our community. Our scholars have been busy creating amazing Star Atlas content, and we’re thrilled to introduce our newest member, Chhoengka. We’ve also reached a major milestone with 50 million R4 harvested from gifted claim stakes and received over $1,200 USD gifted to the wallet. There’s so much more to explore, so let’s jump in!</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 283 ships and 26 Claim Stakes. That’s an additional 43 ships since our last fleet report! This was largely due to a big pledge from <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> community members after hearing the updates from Atlas Grace during the community brew.

Chhoenka currently resides in the capital Phnom Penh over 6 hours from our center in Siem Reap, however he’s able to join once a week via video call and has been patiently learning and setting up his fleets within SAGE labs. He recently activated the auto miner feature and is thrilled to see the progress thus far.</p><p>Chhoengka works for an organization that helps prevent the prevalent sex trafficking industry within Cambodia. He has a big heart and a big desire to see his country change. When he was first presented with Star Atlas, he immediately saw the benefits this could bring and is excited to learn and share more with friends.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*rPC_IM4A3vnb0g-y0LQxCA.jpeg" /><figcaption>Chhoengka is our 5th Scholar to join Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><p>Probably our biggest news to date would be the opening of our new location in Siem Reap, Cambodia!</p><p>Previously we were meeting up in local coffee shops once a week to escape the heat, enjoy cold beverages, and discuss all things <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a>. But the long term vision for Atlas Grace has always been to have a place to call our own, and in the first week of May we signed the lease to a small office space in the garden terrace of a coffee shop here in town.</p><p>The space is a humble 250 square feet of space, but just enough for us to get started. It’s now furnished with seating and a couple of desks which is open to the scholars as a free co-working space during the week. They can take advantage of the air-conditioning, wifi, free coffee, water and snacks we keep on hand. We also meet up as a group for our weekly brew which is a great time sharing ideas, theory crafting and discussing potential opportunities in and around the Star Atlas game.</p><p>This month we will start a weekly design workshop so stay tuned for updates on this very soon!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*2cK94g8Lc9viQF0KSdIvBQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>Scholars in our new center in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The vision for 2024 is to grow the number of our scholars in our physical location here in Siem Reap Cambodia where teens &amp; young adults can have a safe and fun environment to learn, game &amp; make friends not only in their local area but online amongst THE BEST web3 gaming community out there.</p><p>As many of you may already know, Siem Reap is a place near and dear to my heart. I spent more than 5 years teaching, mentoring and building friendships and connections here. I’m looking forward to continue this work, setting up gaming computers, holding free workshops and teaching financial literacy, 3D &amp; graphic design and of course all things <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a>.</p><p>I look forward to bringing you more good news in next month’s report.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — April Report 2024</h3><blockquote><strong>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</strong></blockquote><p>In April, Atlas Grace knocked over some more big milestones. Three new scholars joined our ranks, led by Scholar Johm, who quickly assumed a mentoring role. Tier 2 Scholar Packs were unlocked for our scholars as we transitioned to Starbased. Our scholars’ first encounter with the Unreal Engine version of <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> sparked excitement, while progress towards securing an office space amplifies anticipation for future operations. Join us as we explore these achievements, shaping our narrative of growth and innovation.</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 240 ships and 26 Claim Stakes. That’s an additional 13 ships since our last fleet report! Having more ships enables us to participate in SAGE labs and compound our efforts. This core fleet of ships will provide the funding needed for our physical location here in Siem Reap Cambodia.

Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</em></strong></blockquote><p>“March was undeniably a standout month for Atlas Grace, marked by remarkable milestones and vibrant community engagement. From clinching the esteemed Joni Award to expanding our fleet to over 200 ships, progress was unmistakable. We joyfully welcomed our first scholar, ‘Johm,’ signaling the launch of our much-anticipated Scholarship program, offering free ship leasing to the youth in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Additionally, our community’s generosity was evident as the donated Joni Award Trophy fetched $1,000 USDC, enabling us to establish a Tier 1 ‘Starter Pack’ for our inaugural scholars. Surpassing $100 in charity donations through locker emissions further underscored our commitment to making a meaningful impact. Moreover, 65 community members actively participated in our poll, selecting ‘Computers 2 Kids’ as this month’s beneficiary. There’s plenty more to unpack in this month’s report!”</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 227 ships and 25 Claim Stakes.

During his epic acceptance speach he vowed to donated the trophy to Atlas Grace so that it could be auctioned and proceeds used to fund the cause. An auction was later held running for one week and was sold for $1&#39;000 USDC to <a href="https://twitter.com/Njord614">Njord</a> from Heimdall Industries who is already a big supporter of Atlas Grace. With the funds raised we curated a few ‘Starter Packs’ for our future scholars.</p><h3>Scholarship Program</h3><p>Another exciting development is that the long awaited Atlas Grace scholarship program is now underway with our first Scholar ‘Johm’ joining the ranks!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*7F8eHDSVzWfihkszEm5pfQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>Atlas Grace’s first Scholar ‘Johm’</figcaption></figure><p>What makes this really special is that Johm was one of the original boys from the home I once ran with my wife in Siem Reap a number of years ago. After returning to Cambodia I had the pleasure of meeting with the boys from the home. It was a long awaited reunion as I’d been living back in Australia for more than 6 years.</p><p>After sharing the vision for Atlas Grace, Johm rather than asking how he could benifit asked how he could help grow Atlas Grace and bring it to more Cambodians in need. With this attitude and heart for others, Atlas Grace will be unstoppable!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*rW4Qd4oHcVWnOT_OgYoHkw.jpeg" /><figcaption>Tier 1 ‘Starter Pack’ for Scholar’s starting their journey in the Galia expanse.</figcaption></figure><p>After a series of one-on-one catch-ups with Johm, educating him on self-custody, online safety, web3 gaming, and, of course, the basics of Star Atlas, he was gifted a ‘Starter Pack’ to begin earning and enjoying all that the game has to offer. A variety of tiers will be available for Scholars to strive towards. As they progress through their Star Atlas education, they will unlock higher-level tiers and start saving towards owning their own fleets. Once they have amassed a substantial fleet of their own, the borrowed ships will be returned, allowing other Scholars to benefit from the program.</p><p>We hope to bring more news from the Scholarship program next month!</p><h3>What’s Next For Atlas Grace?</h3><p>We will continue to donate monthly to IRL charities using the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> Fleet &amp; Locker staking rewards.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — February Report 2024</h3><blockquote><strong>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</strong></blockquote><p>Amidst the dynamic landscape of February, Atlas Grace witnessed a whirlwind of generosity and progress. From an anonymous Star Atlas community member’s remarkable donation of over 650 $POLIS to unlocking the doors to the coveted Foundation Room, the month was filled with pivotal moments. The expansion of our fleet with 30 new ships further bolstered our presence in the metaverse. Notably, the collaboration between the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> team and <a href="https://medium.com/u/92a9ef12b1b7">NeoSwap</a> resulted in proceeds being donated to Atlas Grace through unique skin sales, amplifying our impact. Harvesting a total of 30 million R4 to date from donated claim stakes marked a significant milestone, while achieving official recognition as a DAC in the Star Atlas metaverse shows our growing influence. Moreover, as I relocated to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the search for a rental space is underway to establish Atlas Grace’s physical location, enabling free workshops, education, and job opportunities. Additionally, the honor of Atlas Grace being nominated for a Joni award highlights the love our community has for the work we are doing. Furthermore, the heartwarming gesture of a community member matching dollar for dollar donations, driving our mission forward. Join us as we delve into the details of these remarkable events, shaping the narrative of an inclusive web3 world.</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 197 ships and 22 Claim Stakes. With the growth we’ve had in the past few months, I’d say it’s fairly certain that next month we’ll be celebrating 200 ships enlisted in our fleets. Having more ships enables us to participate in SAGE labs and compound our efforts. Once scholarships and ship lending go live, we can offer these resources for free to our scholars, enabling them to enter the game and start earning without any upfront costs. The aim is for them to eventually earn enough to purchase their own ships. The expansion of ships in the Atlas Grace fleet signifies the potential to support more scholars through the program. Alternatively, for the scholars already involved, it means access to larger fleets, accelerating their path to independence and allowing them to establish themselves in the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> metaverse.</p><p>Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ncO-BoIoEahmcQ_PmzrtIw.jpeg" /><figcaption>February Fleet Report showing assets held by Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><p><strong><em>22 x Tier 1 Claim Stakes<br>9 x IMP Tip<br>5 x VZUS Ambwe<br>13 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba<br>39 x FIMBUL Airbike<br>7 x FIMBUL Lowbie<br>4 x FIMBUL Mamba Ex<br>1 x CALICO Maxhog<br>1 x FIMBUL BYOS Packlite<br>1 x TUFA Fiest<br>1 x OGRIKA Niruch<br>16 x OGRINK Ruch<br>18 x VZUS Solos<br>5 x OPAL Jetjet<br>1 x FIMBUL BYOS Earp<br>2 x RAINBOW Chi<br>36 x PEARCE X4<br>2 x PEARCE X5<br>1 x PEARCE F4<br>2 x PEARCE X6<br>33x OPAL Jet</em></strong></p><h3>Locker Report</h3><p><strong>Polis Locker</strong> Balance (as of February 29th) is 8&#39;139 $POLIS earning approx. 9.0 $POLIS per day.</p><p>The locker was at 7&#39;346 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 788 $POLIS was added to the locker this month. 257 $POLIS was earned in emission rewards with 50% being compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.</p><p><strong>Atlas Locker</strong> Balance (as of February 29th) is 77&#39;777 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.22 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*rYUK3O7GoxPzTU_eDm2iag.jpeg" /><figcaption>February Locker Report showing assets locked by Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><h3>Donation Report</h3><p>The $ATLAS and $POLIS prices saw a nice pump towards the end of the month allowing us to earn even more for this months donation. We were quite happy with the total raised of $83.80 USDC. However as mentioned in the above, we were taken back by a member from the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> community who offered to match dollar for dollar our donations for the month. Our only request was that they helped choose the charity they’d like to see the funds go to.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lUdJSaUbbe2f0dSgTOLRcQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>February Donation Report showing emissions from the Star Atlas staking and their conversion to USDC.

Our target last year was 100 ships by year’s end, a milestone we completely surpassed back in October.

However, at times, we prefer to highlight an organization with which we have a personal connection.</p><p>This month, we had the honor of donating to <a href="https://gamersoutreach.org/">Gamer’s Outreach</a>, a charity that empowers hospitalized families through play. Their goal is to build a world where activity is easily prioritized as part of care. Video games are our tools of choice. They provide over 4.3 million gaming experiences in hospitals each year!</p><p>Finding this charity brought back some memories and a lot of tears. When I was younger, my sister was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease &amp; as a family we had to travel to a regional hospital where she would stay months at a time for her treatment. I would be there with her, even going to school in the hospital. I made friends with the other kids in the children’s ward, most fighting Leukemia and other terminal illnesses. The thing that brought the most joy was on occasions they would wheel in a Sega Mega Drive or Super Nintendo for the kids to play. Seeing this first hand, I can say for sure that <a href="https://gamersoutreach.org/">Gamer’s Outreach</a> is making a HUGE difference in the quality of children’s lives. I am soo blessed that through Atlas Grace, we have the opportunity to lend support for this amazing cause.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/983/1*7ZL_1RvNwKPDa4gd4TB4DA.jpeg" /><figcaption>Transaction receipt of donation.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — December Report 2023</h3><blockquote><strong>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</strong></blockquote><p>Happy new year and welcome to Atlas Grace’s latest recap! This month, the spirit of giving took flight as we saw a mind blowing amount of $PURI coin gifts from our supportive community and Star Atlas team members. From donated ships to multiple asset acquisitions, compounded $POLIS, and an all time high charity fundraising month. We’ll also give a recap on 2023 so stick around as we unpack these meaningful milestones — let’s dive in!</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now comprises 132 ships and 11 Claim Stakes. Our original target was 100 ships by year’s end, a milestone we’ve completely surpassed. Having more ships enables us to participate in SAGE labs and compound our efforts. Once scholarships and ship lending go live, we can offer these resources for free to our scholars, enabling them to enter the game and start earning without any upfront costs. The aim is for them to eventually earn enough to purchase their own ships. The expansion of ships in the Atlas Grace fleet signifies the potential to support more scholars through the program. Alternatively, for the scholars already involved, it means access to larger fleets, accelerating their path to independence and allowing them to establish themselves in the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> metaverse.</p><p>With the inclusion of $PURI coins in our treasury, we’ve aimed to use them responsibly, avoiding any potential selling pressure on this newly established asset. One approach we’ve adopted is conducting over-the-counter (OTC) purchases of ships from other members within the Star Atlas community who wish to retain $PURI holdings. It has been remarkable to witness certain community members offering substantial discounts when learning that the acquisition is for Atlas Grace. Noteworthy among these purchases are a Fimbul BYOS Earp, Pearce X6, and even a Pearce F4, deviating from our usual strategy of stacking xx-small ships. The significance of these acquisitions means we now have an accelerated compound growth within SAGE labs and providing us with future possibilities. These options include potentially profitable resales of the larger ships, leasing them to the public for revenue generation, or retaining them for training scholars and rewarding high achievers.</p><p>Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Cvyed-9IPRT2jWuqXiBzSw.jpeg" /><figcaption>December Fleet Report showing the number of assets held by Atlas Grace</figcaption></figure><p><strong><em>12 x Tier 1 Claim Stakes<br>13 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba<br>29 x FIMBUL Airbike<br>7 x FIMBUL Lowbie <br>1 x FIMBUL BYOS Earp<br>26 x PEARCE X4<br>2 x PEARCE X5 <br>1 x PEARCE X6 <br>1 x PEARCE F4<br>18 x VZUS Solos<br>28x OPAL Jet<br>4 x OPAL Jetjet<br>1 x OGRIKA Niruch<br>1 x CALICO Maxhog</em></strong></p><h3>Locker Report</h3><p><strong>Polis Locker</strong> Balance (as of December 31st) is 7&#39;166 $POLIS earning approx. 8.0 $POLIS per day.</p><p>The locker was at 7&#39;041.07 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 125 $POLIS was added and 247 $POLIS rewards were earned with 50% compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.</p><p><strong>Atlas Locker</strong> Balance (as of December 31st) is 77&#39;777 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.22 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*eK6M-uoDLGIq1StlL8_xDg.jpeg" /><figcaption>December Locker Report showing assets locked.</figcaption></figure><h3>Donation Report</h3><p>With the recent pump in prices of $ATLAS and $POLIS, this month was an exceptionally good month for donations.

We started our monthly donations to charities using 50% of locker emissions. Grew our fleet over our target of 100 ships, gained more recognition from the Star Atlas community, and most importantly were able to raise more awareness for some incredible charities making real change in the world. We all talk about a fair, equal and inclusive web3 and our mission is to put that into practice!</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*nluGCXDL8RZlLmNaSOHYeA.jpeg" /><figcaption>A look back at 2023 and the charities we’ve been able to support along the way.</figcaption></figure><h3>What’s Next For Atlas Grace?</h3><p>We will continue to donate monthly to IRL charities using the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a> Fleet &amp; Locker staking rewards.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — November Report 2023</h3><blockquote><strong><em>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</em></strong></blockquote><p>If you haven’t already noticed, Star Atlas is pumping and this is great news for Atlas Grace. But we are just getting started and 2024 is set to be even bigger!</p><p>Starting off the month Star Atlas gave an incredible presentation at the Solana Breakpoint event in Amsterdam, showcasing some mind melting trailers of the upcoming UE5 Showroom 2.2 set to release very soon on the Epic Games store. Along side these updates were some other key products the team is looking to launch over the coming months that will help grow the player community and enhance the overall experience within the ecosystem.</p><p>The surprise and highlight of the presentation for us was when CEO of Star Atlas Michael Wagner gave a personal mention to the work Atlas Grace is doing.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*i4CDNAI8Em6Cgp8qfvu-yg.jpeg" /><figcaption>Michael Wagner CEO of ATMTA / Star Atlas on stage at Solana Breakpoint Amsterdam showcasing Atlas Grace.</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://youtu.be/k9TLKXsmsPI?si=piHDJxJcscEC1kC8&amp;t=1845">https://youtu.be/k9TLKXsmsPI?si=piHDJxJcscEC1kC8&amp;t=1845</a></p><p>Following Michael’s presentation, he then traveled to Southeast Asia, meeting with small gaming communities in Thailand, the Philippines, and Guam. From several Twitter posts (X), he expressed considerable excitement about the future of Star Atlas and Web3 gaming in the region, and understandably so. Southeast Asia holds one of the largest potentials for growth, and with a platform like Star Atlas operating on the Solana Blockchain, there’s a tremendous opportunity for these developing countries to benefit from this emerging ecosystem.</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now consists of 108 ships and 11 Claim Stakes. A regular gift of 420.69 $ATLAS has been consistently appearing in the Atlas Grace wallet every day this month from a generous community member. This generosity has enabled us to acquire a few more XX Small ships to supplement the fleet. Surpassing the 100-ship mark was indeed a significant milestone, as we had aimed to achieve this by the year’s end, and by early November, we reached our goal!</p><p>While the Claim Stakes remain in the Faction Fleet, the remaining ships are currently engaged in missions to mine Hydrogen in Sage Labs. This raw material is then refined into Fuel and sold on the Galactic Marketplace. Fifty percent of these sales are reinvested into the Atlas Locker, and the remaining fifty percent is converted into USDC and donated at the end of each month.</p><p>Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cgl7qfSLEzjEGfw4wwfYqg.jpeg" /><figcaption>November Fleet Report showing the number of assets held by Atlas Grace</figcaption></figure><p><strong><em>12 x Tier 1 Claim Stakes<br>12 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba<br>28 x FIMBUL Airbike<br>3 x FIMBUL Lowbie<br>25 x PEARCE X4<br>2 x PEARCE X5<br>8 x VZUS Solos<br>26x OPAL Jet<br>4 x OPAL Jetjet</em></strong></p><h3>Locker Report</h3><p><strong>Polis Locker</strong> Balance (as of November 30th) is 7&#39;041.07 $POLIS earning approx. 7.9 $POLIS per day.</p><p>The locker was at 6‘781.76 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 259 $POLIS was added and 237 $POLIS rewards were earned with 50% compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.</p><p><strong>Atlas Locker</strong> Balance (as of November 30th) is 77&#39;777 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.22 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*3zIaA_UPRiY3TBEez5q8tQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>November Locker Report showing assets locked.</figcaption></figure><h3>Donation Report</h3><p>With the recent pump in prices of $ATLAS and $POLIS, this month was an exceptionally good month for donations.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Atlas Grace — October Report 2023</h3><blockquote><strong>“ Demonstrating Star Atlas as a viable economic model to create change. Donating proceeds to IRL charities and a vision to providing web 3 education and tools for disadvantage youth in Cambodia. ”</strong></blockquote><p>As another month wraps up for Atlas Grace, we’ve definitely noticed a change in the air. There’s a certain sense of excitement within the <a href="https://medium.com/u/5ed69ff9cfb0">Star Atlas</a>, Solana and broader Crypto community. Star Atlas is about to take the main stage at the <a href="https://medium.com/u/af6a22150fa9">Solana</a> BreakPoint event in Amsterdam and more people are finding their way into the Star Atlas ecosystem, All helped along by a successful launch of Sage Labs by the team at ATMTA.</p><p>There’s also been a change in some of the day to day custodian duties of Atlas Grace. With R4 prices still climbing high, more and more ships are no longer profitable within Faction Fleet. The logical move was to remove those ships and find alternative ways to generate profits so that we still have a healthy amount to donate at the end of the month.</p><p>One possibility is to sell the ships and return the funds to the Atlas or Polis locker which would provide a more passive way to earn. However the goal for Atlas Grace is still to have 100 ships by years end. This will allow us to have a healthy amount of actual game assets to lend out for free once we can build out a physical location in Siem Reap Cambodia and invite the youth to the wonderful world of Star Atlas and have them learn, game, upskill and earn without the need for any upfront costs.</p><p>Being part of the amazing community of Star Atlas has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities to build within the web3 world. This is something I’m excited to share with disadvantage Khmer youth as they are some of the most talented, creative, hard working people I know. This is really something both they and the Star Atlas community will benefit from.</p><h3>Star Atlas Fleet Report</h3><p>The fleet now consists of 99 ships &amp; 11 Claim Stakes. As the Claim Stakes remain in Faction Fleet, the remaining ships are currently on mission mining Hydrogen in Sage Labs. This is then refined into Fuel and sold on the Galactic Marketplace. 50 percent of these sales are compounded into the Atlas Locker and the remaining 50 percent is exchanged for USDC and donated at the end of each month.</p><p>Here’s what fleet we rockin’ :</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*KhM4xfQUyiRYAuIC0MtmwQ.jpeg" /><figcaption>October Fleet Report showing the number of assets held by Atlas Grace</figcaption></figure><p><strong><em>13 x FIMBUL ECOS Unibomba<br>23 x FIMBUL Airbike<br>3 x FIMBUL Lowbie<br>24 x PEARCE X4<br>1 x PEARCE X5<br>8 x VZUS Solos<br>23 x OPAL Jet<br>4 x OPAL Jetjet</em></strong></p><h3>Locker Report</h3><p><strong>Polis Locker</strong> Balance (as of October 31st) is 6&#39;781.76 $POLIS earning approx. 7.9 $POLIS per day.</p><p>The locker was at 6‘555.72 POLIS at the beginning of the month. 226 $POLIS was added and 126 $POLIS rewards were earned with 50% compounded back into the locker and 50% exchanged daily for USDC.</p><p><strong>Atlas Locker</strong> Balance (as of October 31st) is 58&#39;000 $ATLAS earning approx. 0.17 $POLIS per day as well as receiving a 10% fee reduction on surplus R4 sold on the secondary marketplace.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*I0iVTw8BMe_SenOgw2g3iA.jpeg" /><figcaption>October Locker Report showing assets locked.</figcaption></figure><h3>Donation Report</h3><p>A Twitter poll was sent out for the Star Atlas community to vote on.
