As we continue our journey toward decentralization and innovation with GalaChain, we are thrilled to announce that the majority of Founder’s Node licenses have now been successfully issued as GalaChain allowances.
However, we are aware that some Founder’s Nodes were bypassed during the initial script process. The GalaChain team is actively investigating the issue to ensure that all licenses are properly issued. Rest assured, we are working diligently to resolve this delay and we expect the remaining nodes to be added to GalaChain inventory soon.
In the meantime, we ask Founder’s Node operators to remain patient. If your node is not yet appearing in your GalaChain inventory, please know that it is being addressed. Importantly, this situation has no impact on the daily operations of Founder’s Nodes—distributions will continue as usual, and the node network is functioning normally.
We are proud of the overwhelming success of this tokenization transition, and many of you are already trading nodes on the secondary market via NFT Harbor. This is a testament to the empowerment and freedom that GalaChain offers, and we are excited about the future as we continue to lead the charge in revolutionizing the blockchain space.
Thank you for your continued support and patience. Together, we are building something groundbreaking.
The evolution of web3 is upon us, and it’s moving faster than ever. What began as a niche concept within tech-savvy circles has rapidly evolved into one of the most significant trends shaping our digital future.
Web3 is no longer just a buzzword for blockchain enthusiasts; it is the foundation upon which the next generation of the internet is being built. And it won’t stop there. When you imagine all the advances that came with the web2 era (social media, online banking and the meteoric rise of e-commerce), it becomes easy to see that web3 will bring some truly massive advances.
Every day, we inch closer to a world where blockchain technology touches every industry, every individual and every aspect of global innovation.
As one of the original web3 leaders, Gala sees this shift happening in real-time. Building for that future with GalaChain—a blockchain designed to do more than serve niche markets– Gala is positioning itself for the future of world industry.
As web3 grows up, so do the companies and projects powering it. Clearly beyond the initial experimental phase, web3 is now preparing for mass adoption. From gaming to entertainment, finance, healthcare and beyond, blockchain tech is expanding its reach and becoming a transformative force in all areas of life.
Web3: From Concept to Global Trend
For years, blockchain and web3 were considered experimental technologies, promising in theory but still too new for practical, widespread application. Much of the early hype was concentrated in cryptocurrency markets, decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming, where pioneers began to test the waters of decentralization. What we’re seeing today, however, is the maturation of blockchain, where more traditional professionals can no longer deny the impact of this paradigm-shifting tech.
The companies and individuals building on these networks are evolving, and the technology itself is stepping into a more serious role. Blockchain is no longer just about gaming, entertainment or crypto—it’s about global innovation.
Industries across the board are beginning to recognize the immense potential of decentralized technologies. In the near future, every sector—from supply chain management and healthcare to education and renewable energy—will feel the impact of blockchain’s revolutionary capabilities. These systems offer unmatched transparency, security and efficiency, empowering businesses and individuals alike. The trend is clear: blockchain is not just for the tech-savvy; it’s for everyone.
The Shift to Mass Adoption
But where are we right now on the adoption curve? We’re somewhere between trend and mass adoption. Early adopters in sectors like finance and gaming have proven blockchain’s effectiveness, and now mainstream industries are exploring how decentralized technology can be applied to their needs. The infrastructure is being laid for a global transformation, but you’re still early enough to secure the coveted position of “early adopter.”
GalaChain, Gala’s own layer 1 blockchain, is designed with this future in mind. Built on LF Decentralized Trust’s (formerly Linux Foundation) Hyperledger Fabric, the blockchain is scalable, secure and tailored to meet the needs of enterprises across a variety of industries. From the high-speed, low-fee transactions that power gaming ecosystems to the complex business logic required by enterprise applications, GalaChain is equipped to handle the demand of the unpredictable future of blockchain’s rise.
In a world that is quickly decentralizing, GalaChain is setting the stage for mass adoption. It’s a blockchain not only for gamers or crypto enthusiasts but for anyone who seeks innovation.
At the heart of Gala’s ecosystem is $GALA, the core utility token of GalaChain. $GALA has already established itself as a key player in the web3 space, listed on dozens of exchanges worldwide and traded at high volumes every day. It’s the fuel that powers interactions within the GalaChain ecosystem for developers, node operators, collectors and supporters of all kinds.
As the Gala ecosystem grows, so too does the role of $GALA. As more developers build on GalaChain, as more players participate in Gala’s growing gaming ecosystem, and as more industries realize the power of blockchain technology, $GALA will continue to serve as the lifeblood of a massive decentralized universe under the Gala banner. It’s a token that’s already proven its utility and is positioned to drive forward the future of web3.
Building for Tomorrow
GalaChain is building for a future where no industry remains untouched by the empowerment of blockchain technology. From banking and healthcare to gaming and supply chains, decentralized systems will revolutionize the way we interact, transact and innovate. And Gala is among the leaders of that charge.
As we look ahead, we know that blockchain will no longer be seen as a technology for niche markets—it will be a core component of how businesses operate and how individuals interact with digital spaces. The evolution of web3 is inevitable, and at Gala, we are proud to be at the forefront, developing the tools, platforms, and ecosystems that will shape the future.
The world is on the brink of a decentralized revolution, and GalaChain is stepping up for global innovation.
Valley Ecosystem is building big things on GalaChain. We always love spotlighting developers creating novel applications on-chain, but we especially love checking in with Valley for updates! Our roots in gaming run deep, and Valley is creating an amazing and totally novel system for decentralized fun!
TLDR on Valley
If you haven’t been following the Valley Ecosystem, we’ll run through the basics for you. Valley was created by the owners of the Happy Valley Arcade Bar in Beacon, New York. They’ve established a network where players at home and on physical arcade cabinets can compete for real rewards on GalaChain by climbing the leaderboards of great arcade games!
Node operators help facilitate score verification, token distribution and leaderboard tracking. Players, cabinet owners and Node operators all can get $VALLEY every day as rewards!
Valley began their first Node sale recently, and already has 175 Node licenses out there ready to come online very soon! Cabinet sales are starting soon, and the first 500 Node licenses purchased come with an NFT that enables the owner to build a DIY Valley arcade cabinet!
The Fun Starts This Week!
Emissions will begin to Node operators on October 26th, but that’s not all that’s coming this weekend!
Starting on October 31st gamers can climb both a global, all-time leaderboard on each game… as well as a dynamic daily leaderboard. Everyday this leaderboard will distribute rewards to the top performers. No Node, cabinet or subscription required… just get out there and play!
$VALLEY hasn’t fully launched yet, so emissions and rewards will be delivered for now as “Tickets”. Collect these arcade tickets with all your gaming prowess… In January 2025 you’ll be able to exchange them for $VALLEY prizes!
What’s Next for Valley?
Valley has been developing their ecosystem FAST, so we have no doubt that there will be more exciting surprises coming up! They have already announced that their arcade cabinet sales will be launching soon. Guess it’s time to stretch out those joystick muscles 😁.
Don’t take our word for it though — just like you we’re on the outside looking in at all this glorious gaming. Hear updates from Valley themselves in their upcoming X Spaces with Tipped Crypto on Friday, October 25th at 8am PT. They’re even planning on giving away $100 of $GALA during the the event!
We’ll try to keep you updated as Valley creates more exciting games, experiences and competitions… but you could also keep up with them! Join their Discord to stay informed on everything Valley!
We are excited to announce the launch of our new limited-time event: Red Mill Skirmish, now live in The Walking Dead: Empires.

So, grab your gear and prepare to face down walkers in a first-of-its-kind TWDE dungeon gameplay event with special loot and rewards up for grabs!
Red Mill Skirmish introduces a unique “world dungeon” map that allows players to access multiple zones, each with increasing levels of difficulty and rewards. Here’s what you need to know:
Limited-Time Availability: This is the first time the TWDE team has unveiled this type of gameplay. Players can look forward to many more iterations in the future. Make sure to participate while you can to get an idea of what’s in store for the future of The Walking Dead: Empires.
Exclusive Loot and Rewards: Players can collect rare loot and weapons by exploring different sections of the map. The deeper you go, the greater the danger and the higher the rewards!
New Zone Dynamics: The map is divided into four sections with increasing difficulty. At the heart of the Red Mill is the most competitive and dangerous area, offering the best rewards to those who can survive.
Event Details
The Red Mill map is full of enemy spawns that appear more frequently than in standard maps, with no permanently safe locations. There are also lootables that offer above-average yields of resources and items like weapons and ammunition.
Entrances and Exits
The map features 6 entrances and 3 exits, giving players multiple strategic choices based on their skills and objectives.
Zone Rarity
Depending on the entrance zone’s rarity, a version of the Red Mill dungeon appropriate to that rarity will load for players, containing enemies and loot consistent with the zone’s difficulty level. Each player’s Zone rarity is determined by their player level, with greater challenges and rewards for higher level players.
Zone Rarities by Player Level
Common: Level 1-30
Uncommon: Level 21-50
Rare: Level 41-60
Epic: Level 61-80
Legendary: Level 81-100
Ancient: Level 91-100
Special Event Mechanics
During the event, players can collect special Event Itemsby defeating enemies or finding containers within the Red Mill Skirmish. The more Event Items a player collects, the more Event Points they earn. These points are calculated and displayed when players successfully exit the zone.
Prepare for Future Events
Red Mill Skirmish is just the beginning. This is the first of many planned events, and the team is already hard at work on new challenges and variations that will bring iconic TWD situations and settings into The Walking Dead: Empires. So get ready to see more familiar locations, enemies, and of course, more ways to get your hands on rare items and rewards!
