# Introduction ![](/files/iSM0IREgLYeJxOqvfwTm) ASTRALS is a collection of 10,000 metaverse-ready 3D avatars by a world-renowned artist, Damien Guimoneau. These beautiful pieces of art are randomly generated by 200 handcrafted traits and 16 unique races each with their own immersive lore by grand loremasters, Lee Gingold and Shaman8. There are two pillars to ASTRALS: A) a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for incubating innovative projects and B) a story-driven, play-to-earn role-playing game. We are partnered with Solana Labs for the development of our DAO and minting website and with MEKKA FROGGO to build our next-gen staking platform for the distribution of our governance token, $GLXY. ### DAO, Treasury, Governance 1.
