All Eyes On Star Atlas At Solana Breakpoint 2023
Michael Wagner delivered a highly anticipated presentation at Solana Breakpoint 2023 highlighting several key successes over the past few months and outlining what lies ahead for Star Atlas in 2024.
All eyes were dialed in to Michael Wagner as he took the Main Stage at Solana Breakpoint 2023 this morning in Amsterdam. Wagner opened his presentation by narrating a parable of a lion being pestered by other animals. The smaller animals, believing the lion to be weak, begins encircling the lion. The lion however, quickly reminds the smaller animals who is king of the jungle. In this case, Star Atlas is the lion of the blockchain gaming jungle.
“Next year is our year, the year of Star Atlas” — Michael Wagner, CEO, ATMTA Inc.

Star Atlas Scales Multiplayer Gaming With Metagravity’s Rashid Mansoor
Joining Michael Wagner on-stage was Rashid Mansoor, founder of MetaGravity, a company that has partnered with Star Atlas to provide multiplayer gaming scaling solutions.
Mansoor is described as a tech entrepreneur and is also the founder of Hadean and Adbrain according to his LinkedIn profile.
Mansoor took the opportunity to describe one of the biggest challenges to large-scale multiplayer gaming — current scaling solutions are only capable of providing connectivity for about 100 players simultaneously.
Mansoor believes that MetaGravity and Star Atlas will change that by providing single instance multiplayer persistence for 30,000 players.
“Star Atlas is at the forefront the these problems…pushing the boundaries of technology in the metaverse.” — Rashid Mansoor, Founder, MetaGravity
