Don’t miss this rebate opportunity, available now, only for a limited time in the Common Ground World store.
With a weekly chance at $GALA prizes, EGS is the new prize chance everyone in the Galasphere is talking about.
The newest update brings the utility tokens from both Gala Music ($MUSIC) and Gala Film ($FILM) into the excitement, giving users of those platforms a chance to get $GALA in the weekly drawing.
Additionally, users can now choose to burn tokens (NFTs or $GALA) from their GalaChain inventory to receive free tickets (or use the other alternative method of entry). More details below 👇
December Prize Infusion
The Gala Games team has announced the addition of 1M $GALA into the prize pot every single day of December. This special prize infusion is in addition to the already growing prize pot that consists of a portion of all burnt $GALA and any prizes that are not won in the previous drawing.
So far, the prize infusion is making up for an incredibly exciting finish for 2024 with $GALA prize drawings that keep getting bigger and better. 👇
The Latest Drawing
Epic Gala Sweepstakes drawing 3 happened yesterday, Wednesday 12/11 at 12pm PT, with a record-breaking amount of $GALA. With 19 more days of December, 19 Million additional $GALA will still enter the prize pot before the end of the year. There’s no telling how high these prizes will go, and it’s only a matter of time before we get some BIG winners.
If you have prior transactions on GalaChain that have caused $GALA to be burned, there’s a good chance you have FREE TICKETS in your account.
Log in to check your ticket status at Sweepstakes.gala.com. Activate your tickets and pick your numbers anytime before the drawing, or let it ride in hopes that the prize pot will continue to grow. 😎 Your unused tickets will carry over to the next drawing!
Burn $MUSIC or $FILM for Free Tickets
Previously, only $GALA-ecosystem supporting activities (purchases of select Gala Games items, transactional fees, $TREZ tapper activity, or the alternative method of entry) were eligible for free ticket accumulation. Now, the team is inviting anyone who engages in ecosystem supporting activities for $FILM or $MUSIC (which includes a burn) to collect free tickets as well.
Now you have additional options with both $MUSIC and $FILM.
$FILM
When $FILM is spent on the transaction fee required to mint new $FILM from a GalaChain allowance, 100% of that $FILM is burned. You will collect a free Epic Gala Sweepstakes ticket for every 1 $FILM used in this way. When $FILM (GalaChain) is added as a payment option for certain Gala Film purchases, these purchases will also qualify.
$MUSIC
Whenever you spend GalaChain $MUSIC on Gala Music, 100% of that $MUSIC will count toward your free EGS ticket haul. This includes purchases of NFT tracks, experiences, Mystery Boxes and Jukebox Nodes, whenever GalaChain $MUSIC is used. You will collect a free Epic Gala Sweepstakes ticket for every 200 $MUSIC used.
Burn NFTs
Another new way to collect free EGS tickets is taking advantage of the new Burn option for NFTs from your GalaChain inventory.
For every NFT burned, you will receive 1 free EGS ticket 🤩
To Burn an NFT:
Locate the NFT in your GalaChain inventory when logged into GalaConnect.
Select Burn from the dropdown menu
Pay the 1 $GALA Burn fee and confirm with your transfer code
Note that tokens (fungible and nonfungible) must be burned from GalaChain inventory – If held as a GalaChain allowance, tokens will first need to be minted onto GalaChain. If held in your Ethereum inventory, they must first be bridged to GalaChain from Ethereum, then burned.
Direct $GALA Burn (New Feature)
Through your token inventory on GalaConnect, you can now directly burn $GALA. Each $GALA burn of any quantity is subject to the standard 1 $GALA fee, and you will receive a free EGS ticket for every 100 $GALA burned using this feature.
Enter for Free
In addition to collecting free EGS tickets from GalaChain transactions and new burning options, anyone can take advantage of the no-purchase-necessary mail-in entry option as described in the Terms and Conditions.
Prize Drawings are each Wednesday at 12pm PT – Good luck in the Epic Gala Sweepstakes!
It’s springtime for web3, with new applications and projects budding with new levels of innovation and user empowerment. As we all look forward to the summer of mass adoption with its long days and nonstop memorable events, there’s one crucial spring cleaning chore that blockchain creators need to take care of.
It’s still too hard for newcomers to build in web3.
The GalaChain team’s primary focus throughout 2024 has been solving this problem, because we recognize that lowering web3 barriers for developers is one of the most important pieces of the mass adoption puzzle.
Throughout the past several years, blockchain companies have bent over backwards for investors, speculators and the social media influencers who could shout loudest. It’s high time these solutions were customized for the ones who will really carry this movement forward… The builders.
Building for Builders
You can make a good living as a house builder. After all, lots of people need houses. The population is always growing, and houses wear out as time goes by. If you’re good at building houses and you keep your promises to clients, it’s reasonable to expect a steady stream of jobs that will keep you busy.
As an exceptionally skilled builder, you’re likely to reach a point where you need to hire a team to help keep up with demand as new jobs come in. As your business grows, you’ll continue to scale, adding new positions and specialists to do certain parts of the job more efficiently so you can keep accepting more jobs. Eventually you’ll even be sub-contracting a lot of the work, hiring additional work crews to accomplish things that don’t necessarily require your personal touch.
As you achieve tremendous success in the home-building industry, you may find yourself running a business that employs dozens or even hundreds of workers, bringing in more than enough money and always managing a full workload. Enjoy it, builder champion. Many would say you’ve reached the apex of your game.
But there’s always room to innovate and continue to grow in places you may not expect. When the builder’s time and energy is tapped out, it’s time to think even more about efficiency.
As a smart and successful builder, you begin to imagine not only projects, but systems with the potential to make projects easier for other builders. You may invent and patent a new type of machinery that will maximize time and manpower on a specific type of project, then use profits from your successful contracting business to produce and market your product on an international and commercial scale. Or you may develop systems that can be reproduced for certain types of jobs, expressing your ideas in a book and compounding your income with book sales.
The master builder will reap the greatest rewards from building systems that help builders build better.
GalaChain and Innovation
While Gala Games’ layer-1 blockchain, GalaChain, was built specifically for the demands of entertainment, it was never intended to be limited to entertainment use-cases. The vision may have started with games, but entertainment was chosen because of its tendency to adhere closely to the latest and most cutting edge standards in technology. Simply put, building for entertainment meant building for anything.
The team behind GalaChain believes in the power of blockchain to revolutionize numerous world industries, from supply chains and medical infrastructure to gaming, insurance, conservation, disaster relief and almost anything else you could think of. When they used Hyperledger Fabric to build GalaChain with a vision of decentralization, they were imagining world-changing applications that could empower creators, investors, business owners and philanthropists.
GalaChain presents an ideal and versatile blockchain infrastructure that can strategically insert ownership and tokenization to level up any type of project. A truly decentralized chain with privately operated channels (isochans) makes it possible for builders to do what they do best. The Typescript-enabled GalaChain SDK makes it more reasonable than ever before for traditional developers to make the transition from web2 to web3.
Builders: We built GalaChain for you. Ready to build on it?
The long-anticipated moment has arrived! Gala Film is proud to announce completion of our Token Generation Event (TGE) for $FILM on December 5th, 2024
This milestone marks one of the most important steps in our mission to revolutionize the film industry through decentralization, bringing fans, filmmakers and cutting edge content to a thriving GalaChain ecosystem. Whether you’re a filmmaker seeking creative freedom or a fan eager to engage more deeply with the stories you love, $FILM is now here to empower you.
GalaChain $FILM allowances have now been issued to all Gala Film users based on their support prior to the $FILM TGE. You’ll find more information on redeeming $FILM allowances and initial distribution in the newly updated Gala Film Whitepaper.
A Decentralized Vision for Entertainment
At Gala Film, we’re reimagining the film industry. By leveraging the power of GalaChain, we’ve built a platform where filmmakers can connect directly with audiences, cutting out traditional gatekeepers and elevating the experiences of both creating and enjoying films. The $FILM token is the beating heart of this ecosystem—a utility and reward token designed to create a transparent, inclusive and collaborative cinematic experience.
$FILM Details
Here’s what you need to know about the $FILM TGE:
Launch Date: December 5, 2024
Total Supply: 500 million $FILM
Initial $FILM generation at launch: 100 million $FILM (20% of the max supply)
Initially $FILM has been allocated to content creators, Theater Node operators, advocates and other ecosystem supporters.
This distribution ensures that every participant, from filmmakers to fans, has a stake in Gala Film’s decentralized vision.
To finish 2024 with a bang, Gala Games has unveiled an awesome weekly way to collect $GALA… The Epic Gala Sweepstakes.
Prize drawings are happening every week on Wednesday at 12pm PT. Don’t miss out. Next week’s drawing (December 11th) will be the biggest yet, with more than 12 MILLION $GALA in the prize pot!! 🤯
Progressive $GALA Prizes
Epic Gala Sweepstakes is a lottery-style game in which players submit tickets to pick numbers and enter themselves in the weekly prize drawing.
Prizes are a combination of $GALA, the core utility/gas token of the GalaChain ecosystem, and additional Sweepstakes tickets.
Whenever $GALA is burned, 2% of that $GALA is always added to the ongoing prize pot in the Epic Gala Sweepstakes. Any $GALA that is not won in each drawing rolls over into the next weekly drawing.
Additionally, the team is injecting an extra 1 MILLION $GALA to the prize pot every single day in December for major prize possibilities!
Tickets Do Not Expire
The newest Epic Gala Sweepstakes update reveals that tickets will no longer expire if left unused by each new Sweepstakes drawing. This means players will have the freedom to wait until the time (or prizes 😉) are right, adding a new dimension of strategy to the game!
How to Enter
Anyone in an eligible location* can enter the weekly Epic Gala Sweepstakes drawing with no purchase required, using the mail-in option. For more details on this no-purchase-necessary method of entry, check out the Terms & Conditions.
All tickets in the Epic Gala Sweepstakes are free, collected by using $GALA on eligible ecosystem actions. To be classified as an eligible action, $GALA must be burned as part of the action. Whenever a user action leads to a $GALA burn, the total $GALA burn counts toward your accumulation of free Sweepstakes tickets.
Eligible Purchases
Sometimes, eligible actions are item purchases in which all $GALA spent is burned – Typically, these are items sold for Gala Games owned IPs like VEXI, Mirandus and Common Grounds World.
Transactional Fees
Additionally, $GALA is burned when it is used in transactional fees, for transferring, minting or bridging tokens.
Tapper $GALA
In Gala Games’ Telegram mini app ecosystem, all $GALA used in-game is burned, so 100% of $GALA spent on features like buying Steal Tokens, Premium Quests and Gala Stash counts toward your free Sweepstakes entries.
Connect your Gala Games wallet in the following free games:
When you create or accept a token swap on GalaConnect, all $GALA fees count toward your free Sweepstakes tickets. If you use the project token creation tool to make a new token, $GALA burned when your token is approved will also count.
How to Play
Playing Epic Gala Sweepstakes is as simple as using your free tickets.
*Please note that this fee is also burned, counting as 1/10 of your next free ticket!
Epic Gala Sweepstakesis only the beginning of a new era in Gala Games chance-based gaming, powered by a state of the art GalaChain RNG system, coming soon…
