Star Atlas Golden Carnival to Distribute $4M in Rewards to Players - Here’s How to Get Involved

Star Atlas, Solana’s oldest onchain gaming ecosystem, has promised to distribute $4M worth of Loot to active players over the next four months. 

The project’s biggest-ever Lootfest highlights Star Atlas’ thriving and multi-layered ingame economy, enabling players to execute different strategies to earn rewards.

What is Star Atlas’s Golden Carnival Lootfest and how can players get their share of the $4M up for grabs?

Star Atlas’ Golden Carnival Returns

According to Star Atlas lore, the Golden Carnival is a celebration of everyone in Galia, with a Wandering Caravan of masked artists spreading prosperity across the Galaxy.

In practice, the Star Atlas Golden Carnival is a 16-week Lootfest. Running from November 1st until February 21st, 2025, the Star Atlas Golden Carnival will distribute weekly rewards to players in the form of ingame Loot.

The Star Atlas team has allocated over $4M worth of loot to be distributed throughout the event, with between $200,000-$400,000 being shared among players every week. The Golden Carnival’s final week also includes mystery prizes and an “ultimate reward”, known only to the Star Atlas Overlords themselves.

How Does it Work?

Each week for the next 16 weeks, Star Atlas will distribute upwards of $200,000 worth of ingame loot to Golden Carnival participants. To be eligible to receive rewards, players need to acquire Golden Tickets, which can be submitted into weekly draws.

At face value, the Golden Carnival sounds like a simple raffle. However, the Star Atlas team has introduced some compelling elements to the event, allowing for a variety of different strategies.

Golden Tickets are crafted from ingame materials in Star Atlas SAGE Labs, one of the ecosystem’s most popular games. Crafted Golden Tickets can either be submitted to weekly raffles, or sold to other players via the Star Atlas marketplace.

Additionally, all weekly draws are fully transparent. Players can easily track how many Golden Tickets have been submitted to that week’s draw, introducing a strategic element to each week of the Carnival. Participants will be able to calculate their odds of success up to 5 minutes before each weekly draw.

Powered by Hedgehog, a Solana-based prediction marketplace, all draws will be hosted live in the Star Atlas Discord Server at 1 PM ET every Friday.

The Golden Carnival event is an excellent example of Star Atlas’ crafter economy in action. Speaking previously with SolanaFloor, Star Atlas co-founder Michael Wagner commended the ecosystem’s sustainable design and commitment to crafting meaningful experiences onchain for gamers of all backgrounds.
