Star Atlas AMA – Highlights

Virtual world-building, decentralized governance, and a brand new content reveal

On September 2nd, DappRadar sat down with Michael Wagner from Star Atlas and discussed everything from Metaverse-creation to mobile gaming. The game’s CEO also gave us his thoughts on how Web3 technology could herald a new era in real-life human governance.

How do you see the role of the Metaverse in the future of the internet and humanity?

…do you need to be a citizen of any particular geographic location or any particular country? Not necessarily. And as we kind of eliminate the concept of, you know, working locally within borders, it actually creates this opportunity for the individual to select that locale, which actually provides them with the best benefit.
