$GALA Now Bridgeable to Solana on Gala Connect

We’re excited to announce that $GALA can now be bridged from GalaChain to Solana via Gala Connect! This marks a significant step forward in expanding the interoperability of $GALA across multiple blockchains, offering users more flexibility and options when engaging with the Gala ecosystem.

The GalaChain-Solana Bridge

Gala Connect, our cross-chain bridging platform, is designed to make it easy for $GALA token holders to move their assets between different blockchains. With the addition of Solana support, you can now bridge your $GALA tokens from GalaChain to Solana, unlocking new opportunities for DeFi, NFT trading, gaming, and much more.

This integration is a major milestone in improving $GALA’s reach and usability, ensuring our users can access the benefits of both the Gala ecosystem and the fast-growing Solana blockchain.

Expanding Horizons for GalaChain

We’re thrilled to announce that KoinBX, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially integrated GalaChain and listed both ETH (GalaChain) and $GALA (GalaChain) for trading. This development marks another milestone in our journey to provide seamless and efficient blockchain experiences for our users, particularly in India—a country rapidly embracing cryptocurrency at an unprecedented scale.

What This Means for You

With this integration, KoinBX users can now deposit funds directly from their GalaChain token inventory. Funds are securely stored in a dedicated GalaChain wallet on the exchange, enabling the exchange of both $GALA (GalaChain) and ETH (GalaChain) without bridging assets to Ethereum. This eliminates friction, enhances transaction speed and reduces costs—perfect for a fast-evolving market like India.

Why India? The Crypto Growth Frontier

India has emerged as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, according to a late-2024 report by Chainalysis. Despite a stringent regulatory environment and often tough governmental stance, the country’s tech-savvy population has embraced the potential of blockchain technology and digital assets, making it an ideal region for expanding GalaChain’s global footprint.

Gratitude and Collaboration

We extend our deepest gratitude to KoinBX for their support and collaboration. This partnership not only enhances the accessibility of GalaChain to Indian users but also underscores our commitment to empowering communities worldwide with decentralized solutions.

Another Step Toward a Decentralized Future

This integration with KoinBX is a testament to GalaChain’s versatility and our mission to drive blockchain adoption globally. We’re excited to see how this development fosters greater participation and innovation in our ecosystem.
