Breaking: Star Atlas, I need your help! If you are one of the 67 people who participated in this X poll, I need your help in moving my proposal to the next stage of the process. I need your overwhelming support to demonstrate that you care about my ongoing research, which has led to the creation of numerous economically relevant datasets and a more profound economic understanding of web3 economics. Vote here: discord.com/channels/7892262… Three years ago, we employed economic reasoning to segment wallets in a nuanced manner based on wallet ownership, labor market participation, and long-term investment in the POLIS locker, which we used as a proxy for the ability to vote. Users in all three were referred to as citizens. It was a very logical definition based on civilizations and cultural norms, as well as statistical measurements that have been in use for hundreds of years. This classification has continued to hold its economic relevance today, as the citizen demographic remains the most stable, committed, and involved. Three years later @flipsidecrypto would launch their campaign to understand better wallet behavior based on a detailed scoring of wallets. Been there, done that. They would do a thorough analysis of likely wallet behavior when receiving an airdrop. I did that analysis for different gaming communities last year, predictably, some in the community preferred Star Atlas ships to their JUP allocation. On the surface, my PIP appears to be an attempt to receive compensation from the DAO for maintaining dashboards. That's not the point, maintaining and building these dashboards are some deliverables that will be a natural byproduct of creating and preserving economically relevant information. I could create dashboards all day that don’t tell you anything about anything, and are completely useless. For information to be helpful, it must help you make a decision that is hopefully a little more accurate, and it must have a financial consequence. That’s what I want to do here. I want to continue to create resources for the community that impact their financial decisions. The DAO must take this initiative, as data is a public good, and in the world we live in, everyone should have access to the best economic metrics possible. This should come from a source independent of ATMTA. Developer-sponsored independent economic data construction and analysis does not exist, and it fundamentally cannot exist, even under the best of intentions. This PIP ensures the revamp of dashboards fundamental to understanding everything from DAC revenue, player returns, the returns to different fleet rental strategies, DAC leaderboards, POLIS locker and ATLAS locker returns, DAO revenue, the financial health of the playerbase, a detailed breakdown of each emission and sink, and their contributions to overall ATLAS and POLIS emissions, the ecosystem importance of the community, the communities income outside of Star Atlas, wallets that recently received airdrops, the liquid staking and standard staking of the community, the distribution of POLIS and ATLAS held in every possible categorization of wallet and by age, and even more. These dashboards are relevant and purposefully built with economic significance as the focus; however, they all need to be refurbished. Pretty soon, there won’t be a single lamport we won’t know about, and that's how it should be. This data is essential to overcoming the roadblocks that our community faces. Believe it or not, regular data dissemination and a commitment to adhere to the common set of international standards of economic measurement have been found to reduce bond yields in emerging countries meaningfully. The maintenance of dashboards has reduced the level of uncertainty held by investors and players regarding the performance of the Star Atlas economy, its revenue sources, and the revenue generated by the project's development team. It has even been used to fact-check the official DAO Treasury page. We are the most well-informed and financially astute community on Solana. It’s because we are passionate about the data and take economics seriously.
