The projects on the public chain, Solana, which also surprised us last summer, should not be undervalued, despite the fact that many well-known projects are launched from the Binance chain. It has become the top choice for many blockchain game projects due to its high throughput, high scalability, low latency, and low transaction costs, which perfectly fit the mechanism of chain games.
What are the projects, in particular now that the blockchain game is once more revolutionary, Solana’s advantages can be seen, and many masterpieces of chain games are built on the public chain and will be launched one by one this year? Let’s find out together.
StarAtlas
Star Atlas is a sci-fi space-themed MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Network Role-Playing Game). The story, which takes place in the year 2620, features three main factions: the human-ruled MUD territory; the ONI region of the Alien Race Alliance; and the robot-controlled Ustur star region. The three groups are waging an ongoing conflict over territory, resources, and dominance. The choice to join a party and support it is up to the individual players. The player’s choices will have a direct impact on how this interstellar conflict turns out, and by participating in the game, they will earn token rewards.
Star Atlas is the first Solana-based AAA NFT game that belongs to the MMORPG circuit. It will provide an immersive metaverse gaming experience and combine earning virtual assets that can be converted into real money with playing video games of movie quality. The team members behind it have decades of experience in the field of game development, having worked on the development and production of well-known games and movies. Star Atlas introduces the core of social interaction, policy governance and economic models, and is also FTX’s first GameFi IEO project, which has not yet been officially released, but it has been the object of attention from the beginning to the present, and is expected to become a hit on the Solana chain.
The name Star Atlas is inspired by the titan Atlas, who shoulders the burden of the universe (heaven) and is also a tribute to Atlas Shrug. As a combination or collection of maps, an atlas also fits this definition. One of Star Atlas’ main goals is to explore, navigate, and discover stars and capture this data for other explorers. Consequently, the full meaning of this name refers to the emergence of a new universe (metaverse) as well as the spirit of astronomical exploration. Star Atlas wanted to create a metaverse where players could fully immerse themselves and realize their dreams of exploring the ultimate frontier.
Furthermore, among others, Solana, Serum, FTX, Stardust, Yield Guild Gaming, Solstarter, PAID network, and Blind Boxes are some of the important partners of Star Atlas. LD Capital, Yield Guild Games, Moonwhale Ventures, and Serum are a few of the organizations that are involved in Star Atlas.

Some humans have emigrated to a barren, distant planet 1,000 light-years away after the once-pristine Earth was polluted to the point of ruin. During the protracted millennial journey, various factions formed that now fight endless wars with metal-rich alien worlds in an effort to rule Earth and control its resources.
Players in the game have the option of joining the conflict for planetary conquest by choosing to join the Metal Baron, one of the three constantly at war factions. Building massive war machines and vehicles, appointing lords of princes, and organizing guilds to fight bloody border conflicts are all part of the empire-building process. War machine and vehicle unit blueprints will also be gathered, combined, and created for sale and trading at the same time.

SolChicks
The top P2E fantasy game on the Solana chain is SolChicks, which aims to dominate the P2E and NFT PVP fantasy game ecosystem on the blockchain. Players use their SolChicks as characters in the distinctive gaming metaverse as SolChicks, an adorable NFT collection, is the foundation upon which the game is built.
The main mission of the game is to participate in tournaments and level up SolChick. Four main stages can be identified. Each player can progress up to level 60.
Stage of Acquaintance (Levels 1–15) During this stage, you should primarily become familiar with the features and user interface of the game because SolChicks is still too new to take part in PvP battles. It takes about 1 week to move on to the next stage.
In the fledgling stage (level 16-30), your chicks can participate in PvP tournaments, develop skills, level up and prepare for mastery battles.
Advanced Stage (Level 30-45) SolChick will have some fundamental skills by the time she reaches level 30. By actively taking part in all battle modes, MMR points are now available. Following receipt, the points are redeemed for P2E rewards.
The peak development stage is another name for the endgame stage (levels 46–60). At this point, SolChicks will reach level 60 and have mastered all 40 of the game’s skills.
SolChicks also has 3 game modes: Battle, Raid, and Breeding:
In the game you can choose the type of battlefield, solo or in a team. To compete against opponents of the same level and skill level, you will be paired automatically. After the battle, the chicks must rest and recover from the farm, during which time they are unable to fight and spawn. Winning will raise their ranking on the leaderboard.
Grandmaster SolChicks, or experienced players, play in the raid game mode. PvP combat and the combat design in raids are similar. However, there is still a distinction thanks to the addition of boss fights in SolFox, a unique PvE mode for skilled players.
Team competition, team up with other SolChicks to defeat the mighty SolFox army. When participating, all players in the team will earn experience points based on their contribution.
A SolEgg can be produced by breeding two SolChicks that are both at least level 45. It takes about 7 days for SolEgg to hatch a new SolChick Baby with all the genetic traits of its parents.
One SolChick will take on the role of a male while being raised. It requires a 7-day recovery period and is temporarily unable to spawn again. SolChick will take on the role of a female, in charge of egg-laying and egg-hatching. Each SolChick can only be spawned 3 times in its lifetime. So before choosing another SolChick pairing, be cautious, be cautious,
Additionally, SolChick features a distinctive farming system that allows chickens to gain extra experience points for farming and breeding tasks, harvesting crops can be used to boost a character’s combat defense, and trading NFT items, food, and crops with other players is possible through the game’s in-game market. The official further disclosed that there will be a land system, equipment system, career system, and gangs team system, and that the functional system is quite good.The entry method for the game is still a popular one, 10,000 chicken NFT serving as the initial creation ticket. The multiplayer online RPG game’s gameplay involves battling monsters to upgrade explosive equipment. PVP, raising chickens, breeding pets, and other gameplay comprise the majority of the core gameplay. To upgrade SolChick, the player must compete in events and complete missions. There are 4 distinct phases to this process. Each player can reach level 60. Solchicks once held the top spot for Solana on the P2E website for a week and also had the top-ranked NFT collection on CoinMarketCap and Solanart.
Aurory
The retro-futuristic setting of the RPG Aurory is based on Solana. There are several different game modes available to players, including a single-player mode and two multiplayer modes. Single player mode is a fully hand-drawn 2D animated side-scrolling game. In order to advance the plot, players must complete quests, converse with NPCs, and defeat enemies while following Helios, the protagonist of the retro-futuristic cat. NFTs can be used in the multiplayer mode after an opponent has been defeated and earned them.
In the game, players will be able to stake the NFTs they earn by defeating monsters to win in-game skins, unique and legendary cards, and energy boosts. These items can then be used against other players or traded on the local market. The team also envisions a player-versus-player mode in which competitors can pit their five items and cards against one another in competitive games. All paid tokens may be collected by the victor to initiate combat. Leaderboards will rank players based on their achievements and allow them to compete for giveaways.
Both tokens and NFTs can be staked in Aurory; players can stake their tokens to increase their token supply, and they can stake their NFTs to increase their chances of winning rare game skins and items. These extra items can be used to combat other players and are also available for sale/purchase on the trading market.
Aurory is currently in the development stage and is able to take part in the secondary market purchases of Aurorian NFTs and staking of the $AURY token.
Aurorian NFT
Aurory’s first batch of NFT sales totaled 10,000 pieces, minted at 1 SOL, sold out in 3 seconds, and now has a floor price of 38SOL (as of 4/6/2022), in addition to being an in-game player avatar, holders also enjoy the following benefits:

Sam Bankman-Fried is also the person behind Solana and Serum.
STEPN
Users of NFT Sneakers can earn GST by walking, jogging, or running outside in the STEPN lifestyle Web3 app. GST can then be used to upgrade and purchase new Sneakers.
1. What is STEPN?
Stepn is a game that uses Move 2 Earn, where you can gain platform tokens by playing sports. Players who wish to take part in the project must first buy NFT running shoes and earn cash by actually running before they can take part in the game. The project is located on the Solana chain.
2. Investment background
The team’s technical strength is very strong considering that it recently received a $500w investment from Sequoia Capital and placed fourth in the Sol Hackathon. It also recently received investment from Solana. With a surge of almost ten times, the governance token GMT is also available on Binance. There’s a lot of capital, and it’s not that famous, so I won’t talk about it here
3. Economic model
Two tokens make up the platform: GMT, which stands for governance, and GST, which stands for gaming. Among them, the game token GST is unlimited and can be obtained through your movement. The role of GST is:
- Casting of shoes
- Repair shoes
- Upgrade shoes
- Gemstone upgrade
- Unlock the card slot
- Reset the properties of the shoe
There are numerous application possibilities even though the production of GST has no upper limit. The current price is 3.3U per piece, and the daily trading volume is about 500W U, so the price is reasonable.
The total number of governance tokens, or GMT, is limited to 6 billion. Just got on Binance’s IEO a few days ago, and the current price is around 0.8u.
The role of GMT
- Participate in governance
- Voting
- Customized shoes
- The upgrade consumption of high-end shoes is 28-30 levels
- Legendary sneakers are needed for casting
- Upgrades for level 6, 4-9 gems
- Shoe attribute reset
30% of the total is allocated to users, 30% is used as an ecosystem fund, and a large part of it is used as giveaways and community activities.
4. NFT Types
There are currently three types of NFTs inside the game
1. Shoes
There are four different categories of footwear: walking shoes, jogging shoes, fast running shoes, and all-purpose training shoes. Pick shoes that suit your speed of movement because each shoe has different characteristics. For the majority of people, running shoes are a good option. The requirements for speed vary depending on the shoe.
Each pair of shoes has four characteristics, which are efficiency, luck, comfort, and elasticity, in addition to the various shoe types and attributes.
Efficiency
GST revenue is directly impacted by efficiency, and the more efficiency an item has when using the same amount of energy, the more GST is collected.
Luck
The frequency and caliber of mystery box airdrops are determined by luck.
Comfort
This attribute can produce GMT in the future, but it is not yet out.
Elasticity
Players must regularly repair their shoes because they deteriorate with each use. The degree of elasticity has an impact on repair costs; the higher the elasticity, the cheaper it is to repair each time and the less expensive the repair is.
5. Rarity
NFT sneakers come in 5 different rarities, and the higher the rarity, the higher the earnings. Rare, Rare, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities exist. The more rare an item is, the more directly it will affect attributes, stamina, and slot quality, increasing the profit. Additionally, based on the rarity of the sneaker, a random number will be chosen to determine each attribute’s value within the corresponding minimum and maximum values. Therefore, the distribution of attributes can differ greatly even when the sneakers are of the same quality.
