At Gala, we’re crafting a decentralized future where everyone can thrive. What began with gaming now spans across entertainment, blockchain technology and more, creating an inclusive and immersive ecosystem with something for everyone. Let’s explore how Gala is revolutionizing the way we interact with digital worlds.
Gala Games: More Than Play
Our journey started with games, fueled by a mission to give players true ownership and the ability to get rewarded for their playtime. Gala Games offers a diverse portfolio of games where players can truly own their in-game assets. Ownership adds a new dimension of gaming strategy to enrich the experience.
This ownership model breaks free from traditional constraints, allowing gamers to benefit directly from their engagement. Additionally, Gala gamers enjoy a new level of freedom. Once you get tired of a game for which you own items, you’re free to trade off those items on the secondary market, essentially taking your loot with you to your next favorite game. Gone are the days when we must continue playing a game that lost our interest just because we’re cost committed. This freedom is a crucial piece of Gala’s central mission of user empowerment.
We have teamed up with some of the most legendary game developers in the industry to reimagine the gaming experience throughout multiple genres. With the recent launch of our massive game dev headquarters in Santiago, Chile, we’re ready to start cranking out the next generation of games, all empowered with ownership and rewards through GalaChain.
The conventional music industry was ripe for revolution, and the power of GalaChain lends itself brilliantly to an enhanced music experience that takes fans and artists deeper.
Gala Music reimagines the ways music is produced, distributed and consumed. Artists can release tracks directly to their fans, bypassing traditional intermediaries and maintaining unprecedented control over their art. Fans can own NFT tracks representing music from their favorite Gala artists, unlocking $MUSIC rewards based on the platform success of their owned tracks.
Powered by a decentralized network of nodes called Jukebox Nodes, Gala Music’s unique approach ensures that creators are fairly rewarded for their work, that fans have a stake in the success of the music they support, and that new music is always free to discover and enjoy.
Gala Film is set to disrupt the traditional film industry by enabling decentralized film production and distribution. This platform allows filmmakers to fund their projects through tokenization, offering an innovative way to raise funds and engage with their audience.
Fans can directly support films and series they believe in by collecting NFTs called Moments in their Theaters, reaping $FILM rewards from the platform success of their content.
Powered by a state-of-the-art GalaChain DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), Gala Film hosts and delivers content on its network of Theater Nodes. These nodes are owned and operated by supporters from the Gala Film community who have purchased licenses to operate network workloads in exchange for additional rewards.
A future system called “Pitches” will offer project crowdfunding to bring users’ filmmaking dreams to life. Funding film projects is expensive, but with Gala Film we are curating an ideal community of early adopter supporters and rewarding them for early ownership in the same $FILM token that they will eventually use to fund your projects. We expect this feature to be a true game changer for the filmmaking industry when it is released.
At the core of Gala’s ecosystem lies GalaChain, our custom-built blockchain. Designed to handle high transaction volumes and complex interactions, GalaChain supports a wide array of applications that go far beyond gaming and entertainment. It offers near-real-time settlement, low gas fees and a developer-friendly environment, making it an ideal platform for innovation across various industries.
In early 2024, we opened GalaChain to external developers by releasing the public facing Typescript-integrated GalaChain SDK and the Gala Creators Portal, making it easier than ever for devs to take the leap into web3 to empower their own communities.
GalaChain is a layer1 blockchain that operates similarly to Ethereum, with lower gas fees and faster transaction time. Additionally, GalaChain tokens (FTs and NFTs) are easily bridgeable to the EVM for use and trade on its robust network of existing dApps and exchanges.
GalaSwap: Seamless and Secure Transactions
GalaSwap is the first official token swapping site that runs on GalaChain, providing a secure platform for trading tokens within the GalaChain ecosystem. It ensures that users can seamlessly swap assets, enabling liquidity and fostering a vibrant economic environment by eliminating the need to bridge assets to Ethereum.
By utilizing GalaSwap, users benefit from lower fees and faster transactions compared to traditional exchanges. Additionally, GalaSwap users are rewarded with GalaSwap’s native token for listing and accepting swaps, with additional rewards for swaps that are conducted at “fair market value,” according to dynamic integrated pricing data from CoinGecko. GalaSwap is growing rapidly, with recent feature updates such as partial swaps, API integration and more.
Owners in the Gala ecosystem are encouraged to browse and utilize the robust secondary item markets on OpenSea. This market ensures that every asset has value beyond its initial use, providing users with endless opportunities to monetize their digital holdings, unload unused items or get a second chance on sales they missed.
Gala is more than just an ecosystem; it’s a community-driven movement towards decentralization and empowerment. We invite you to explore the various facets of Gala, participate in our vibrant community, and discover how you can benefit from being part of this revolutionary journey.
