As the road to $TREZ rewards continues with our growing ecosystem of Telegram mini app games, Music Coin has some awesome road trip jams sure to make your journey a memorable one.
While you’re tapping for future $TREZ rewards with Music Coin, don’t forget to listen to all the latest tracks from the world of decentralized music on Gala Music. Listen free, vote on what’s next and collect $MUSIC rewards for supporting the network.
Today, Music Coin has leveled up with an exciting new feature set that will keep you cheering. Every player can now STEAL Coins from unsuspecting fellow players who have been foolish enough to leave their stash unprotected.
Music Coin’s Stealing features work similarly to those in Dogs for the Founder, Treasure Tapper and Gala Meow Coin, offering each player a daily allowance of STEAL TOKENS that can be used to try their luck at swiping piles of Coins from other players.
Do not underestimate the Stealing ability, which has the potential to either make or break your Music Coin gameplay. If you make the most of this feature, millions of additional Coins each day could come pouring into your game, allowing you to upgrade your Quests, level up your Vault and most importantly, be ready for the big $TREZ TGE, which is getting closer and closer.
But be careful with what you’re keeping unprotected in the game, because other players can target you as well. But if you’re diligent and watching your notifications, you’ll always have a limited-time chance to get revenge on them, stealing Coins back!
If you can’t get enough of that Coin-thieving action, you can use $GALA from your connected wallet to buy more Steal Tokens once you’ve expended your 3 free tokens for the day.
Vault Your Coins
It’s tough to watch your back when you’re wearing headphones, and these beats are too good to stop. Thankfully, the VAULT lets you hide away a limited amount of in-game Coins to keep them protected from thieves.
Everyone has access to a Vault of their own – Level yours up using in-game Coins so that it’s prepared to keep even more coinage safe.
If you’re too big-time for the Vault’s limitations, then the STASH is the protection feature for you. It’s like a blockchain-powered fortress for your coinage. It’s unlimited in its capacity, but you’ll have to spend 1 $GALA from your linked wallet every time you make a deposit into this perfectly secure facility.
Yep, when it comes to your Music Coins, you can put a price on peace of mind… It’s 1 $GALA. 😎 Stash as much as you want as often as you want, keeping it 100% safe from sticky-handed street corner buskers.
Get Tapping, Fam
What are you waiting for? Get out there and steal some coins from the loafers – You gotta make big moves if you want to make it big in the music industry. You gotta play the game.
Ever feel like your bone stash is too big for peace of mind? Especially with thieving scoundrels on the prowl for what’s yours, we don’t want you losing sleep over the possibility that the fruit of your tapping could be stolen in an instant, snatched away in the jowls of a mutt that didn’t put in the work.
Sure, there’s always Vault and Stash, giving you a chance to keep your Coinage in a special secure facility, but what about all those Coins your uber-upgraded Quests are generating when you’re not tapping? 🫢 Until you get to them safely to the Vault, they’re pretty much up for grabs to any high-falutin fleabag in the game! 🤬
How to Avoid Doggie Raids
Here’s the deal, Fido. We know you like to take long naps. Before you sign off, just activate Steal Protection by spending a little $GALA straight from your connected Gala Games account. The more $GALA you put in, the longer your unvaulted coinage will be protected. It’s like hiring a big and ferocious guard dog named GALA to protect your pile when you’re not around.
Doggone are the days where you open the game in the morning to find an empty hole where all that sweet coinage should have been.
If you haven’t connected your GalaChain wallet yet in the game, you’re missing out on more than this feature. But don’t worry. There’s still time before the $TREZ Token Generation Event that will start awarding $TREZ to tappers like you on the regular. 👍
Not Tapping Yet?
All it takes to start tapping and prepping for those awesome $TREZ rewards is a free Telegram account. We have a whole selection of mini app games in the growing $TREZ ecosystem with millions of players already, and $TREZ hasn’t even gotten started yet.
If you don’t get those paws in gear and start tapping, you could be one sad puppy dog once the $TREZ TGE rolls over, sooner than you think!
The highly anticipated epic fantasy MMO from Gala Games has just announced that its Public Preview build will soon be playable on a full-time basis to all Exemplar-owning members of the Gala Games community.
Because of the massive time and development commitments of creating an open-world MMORPG of this magnitude, Mirandus has been one of Gala Games’ most ambitious development projects. When you add in the revolutionary approach of NFT integration and the idea that “dying hurts,” it becomes possible to see the huge scope of creating this world.
While until now, playtests for Mirandus have been few and far between, the dev team is ready to bring players into the experience, giving everyone in the ecosystem a unique chance to take part as this gaming masterpiece comes together.
The Public Preview Build
Starting next Friday, November 15th we will open the current Mirandus servers around the clock, allowing players to enjoy the game in its current state.
While the Mirandus final launch is still in the distance, this will give players an elf’s-eye view of the world coming together, allowing everyone to appreciate the detail and beauty going into this exquisite passion project.
The game will be downloadable on PC, open to anyone who holds an Exemplar NFT in their Gala Games inventory.
Exemplar Ownership is Required
Exemplars are NFT avatars, each class with its own background, story and unique skill set. Your Exemplar is your exclusive player token in the world of Mirandus. Without one, you cannot enter the game. Those interested in acquiring an Exemplar should check the Ethereum-based secondary markets on OpenSea or the GalaChain-based secondary market at NFT Harbor.
The Legendary Allsight Elves are the most mysterious and perhaps oldest elven ancestry in the world of Mirandus, although you cannot tell by looking at them. It is said they exist across time, allowing them to hone in on the future in some situations. Imagine the power…
Years of living underground have given the Deep Mountain Dwarf Clan the ability to visibly feel their surroundings, even in the deepest dark. Many of these Exemplars have never seen the sun. Think of the treasures you could find by being able to see in the dark.
Perhaps you’d like to be an Evenstride Halfling, able to perfectly control your weight distribution when running for exceptional performance. You could glide fluidly over long distances, keeping perfect balance no matter the terrain and rarely tiring.
Above are just a few examples of the Exemplars to choose from. Of the 5 different races offered (Elf, Halfling, Dwarf, Human, Orc), a total of 25 different Exemplar ancestries have been released and sold as NFTs.
Prepare for Adventure
We are excited to invite you to participate in this ongoing Public Preview build of Mirandus as we continue to make great strides toward its full release with Deeds, Buildings, Materium and much more.
Galascan originated from our amazing community. More specifically, it originated from GingerBreadMan, one of the key drivers of the Fuzzle Prime DAO.
Back in early 2024, we held a contest to see who could design the best block explorer for GalaChain. There were four qualifying submissions, but the Founder’s Node operators spoke. In a very close vote, GingerBreadMan won with his explorer at galachainexplorer.com. This would soon evolve into GalaScan!
Galascan is surprisingly straightforward for such a powerful block explorer. There is only one all-purpose dashboard at galascan.gala.com.
From this dashboard, you can filter and view all transactions on GalaChain. You can easily search a specific GalaChain ID, which makes it an easy way to dig through your own transactions on GalaChain or watch the hottest wallets.
You can also filter by currency or specific transaction type, making it all the easier to get a clear picture of whatever data you’re looking for.
By default, you’ll only see the most recent hour’s transactions on the dashboard. If you search for more specific data, however, you can view as far back as records go on GalaChain… right back to October 31st, 2022 — when the first GalaChain supported app went live!
Details at a Glance
One of the best things about Galascan is that it shows important metrics about GalaChain simply and all in one place!
At the top of the page you’ll see some of the most sought after information about GalaChain:
Total transactions that day
Total unique wallets holding tokens on GalaChain
Total circulating supply of $GALA
Total GalaChain operations that day
Total $GALA burned in the last 24 hours
Leaderboard of the wallets that have burned the most $GALA
$GALA price and market cap (price values sourced from CoinGecko API)
$GALA is burned all the time during the operation of GalaChain. Any time tokens are burned for transaction fees or purchases, the circulating supply of $GALA goes down. However, the $GALA distributed by Founder’s Nodes goes up since it is based on the total amount in circulation.
This burn leaderboard is new, and we’re excited that Galaxians everywhere will be able to keep an eye on this metric as the ecosystem continues to expand and grow.
Explore GalaChain
Galascan is a powerful block explorer that is simple for anyone to learn and dig into. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only tool there is to really explore deep into GalaChain!
Check out galacoins.xyz if you want detailed information on specific tokens. This community-developed site covers many different tokens in the GalaChain ecosystem and gives you amazing information on top holders, exchange timeline and even simplifies GalaSwap offers into an easy to understand order book!
Analytics.gala.com gives aggregated data points about GalaChain, Nodes, $GALA and users on GalaChain. You can’t dig through blocks like on Galascan, but you can easily see important statistics that may be tough to glean from a list of blocks!
https://explorer.galachain.com offers a more detailed view of specific blocks, also allowing you to easily sort by channel and search more specific information on GalaChain.
Some users may find this less user friendly than Galascan, but if you know your way around a block explorer and understand the layout of GalaChain, it’s a very powerful tool!
There are tons more interesting tools to help with learning and development on GalaChain. Check out our recent article listing off some of the hottest spots on GalaChain if you want to dig deeper.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? Well, I guess you need to build it then. Seriously though, GalaChain is here to build the future on. If you have an idea of what could help this ecosystem, what are you waiting for?
