As we continue to make revolutionary waves in music and tech, we’re excited to announce a new phase of growth for the Gala Music ecosystem. Today we’re outlining significant updates for $MUSIC tokenomics, ushering in a more transparent, equitable and dynamic tokenomics model.
These upcoming changes reflect a strategic shift with the goal of benefitting all types of ecosystem participants from artists and producers to fans and collectors. Let’s dive into the key updates shaping the future of Gala Music!
Dynamic $MUSIC Emissions Based on Ecosystem Activity
In a major change from the previous bonding curve based on redeeming new Tracks , $MUSIC will now adopt a dynamic emissions model based on ecosystem activity. Rather than solely relying on new track releases, the amount of $MUSIC emitted each day will be determined by the level of activity across the platform.
The more engagement, the higher the daily emissions, with a set maximum limit. On days with lower activity, emissions will decrease, with a minimum cap in place to stabilize fluctuations.
Emissions will be calculated using a 7-day rolling average to ensure stability, and the emission rate is designed to gradually taper off as the ecosystem continues to grow. This shift is expected to bring more balance and sustainability to $MUSIC’s supply. Full details can be found in the whitepaper’s Section 3.4.
Once this change is live, a new global $MUSIC distribution page on the platform will also provide users with a clear visualization of the new system.
Standardizing Jukebox Node Rewards
Jukebox Node operators will now enjoy a more standardized rewards system. Going forward, all nodes that meet a minimum uptime requirement of 20 hours in a day will receive a share of daily rewards, removing the previous variability caused by track performance and number of tracks paired. This will make node rewards more predictable, based on availability to host rather than direct track hosting.
For users with more than 15 node slots, they will be rewarded with daily ecosystem support points and eligible for additional rewards from the daily ESA pool.
To reflect this change, you’ll soon see an updated Jukebox Node section on the Gala Music platform.
Removal of Track Rarities and Upgradability
In an effort to streamline the rewards system, $MUSIC is officially moving away from the Track Upgradability and rarity system (Editions). Track rewards will now be determined purely by popularity and circulation, removing arbitrary rarity-driven reward variations. This update creates a more equitable structure where success is driven by actual engagement with music. However, Exclusive Tracks will continue to offer enhanced rewards to encourage the release of unique content on the platform.
These updates represent a forward-thinking approach to tokenomics within the Gala Music ecosystem, reaching toward sustainability, fairness and enhanced community engagement. The future of $MUSIC is one of greater transparency, deeper artist-fan connections and decentralized growth. We could not be more excited and we’re grateful to you for being part of this journey with us.

Death Row Records is an iconic name in the history of hip-hop, particularly within the West Coast rap scene. Founded in ‘91 by Marion “Suge” Knight and Dr. Dre, this label quickly rose to prominence, thanks to its unique blend of gritty beats, hard-hitting rhymes and vivid depictions of street life. With artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur leading the charge, Death Row became synonymous with the explosive sound of 90s gangsta rap.
Yet, the story of Death Row Records is not just one of success but also of controversy and turmoil. Despite producing a string of platinum hits and making household names of its artists, the label was embroiled in legal battles, internal strife, and tragically, the deaths of several of its key figures. By the late 90s, Death Row’s industry influence waned and it seemed destined to become a relic of the past.
Fast forward to 2008, when Snoop Dogg, one of Death Row’s most famous protégés, acquired the rights to the label’s name. With this move, Snoop sought not just to revive a brand but to breathe new life into its legacy. By blending Death Row’s storied past with the cutting-edge possibilities of web3 technology, Snoop Dogg has reimagined the label for a new era.
Along the way as Snoop Dogg continued to gain acclaim as a successful entrepreneur and renaissance man, he discovered the empowering potential of web3 and shared Gala’s vision of how it could rejuvenate a hurting music industry.
Today, Death Row Records is making waves again, and Gala Music is happy to play even a small part in that success. By entering the decentralized world of web3, Death Row is once again pushing boundaries, this time by leveraging blockchain technology and NFTs to revolutionize music distribution and artist empowerment.
With the release of NFT tracks and the introduction of new artists to the platform, Snoop Dogg is ensuring that Death Row’s legacy not only endures but thrives in this new digital landscape.
Gala Music is proud to be part of DRR’s journey, which will certainly be remembered by the history books. This partnership is about more than just technology—it tells a story of redemption, empowerment and taking control back from the old-school record execs to real artists and the fans who make their success possible.
Just as Death Row Records once transformed the music industry with its bold vision and unapologetic style, Gala Music is here to disrupt the status quo again, providing artists and fans with a platform that truly puts them first. Who better to join us in this mission than Death Row Records?
The collaboration between Death Row Records and Gala Music is a perfect harmony of history and innovation, a blending of the old and the new that promises to reshape the music industry. We’re thrilled to host artists like Jane Handcock, Tha Dogg Pound, and October London… Even Snoop Dogg himself has dropped the Bacc on Death Row album and more. Each of these artists is a testament to the enduring spirit of Death Row and its capacity to adapt, evolve, and stay relevant in a constantly changing industry.
We look forward to sharing even more exciting news from the Death Row Records world, coming very soon.
If you haven’t already, check out our curated DRR Playlist, and remember, NFT tracks from Jane Handcock and Tha Dogg Pound are still available for purchase while supplies last! By owning an NFT track with Gala Music, you’re unlocking daily $MUSIC rewards.
Join us as we continue to celebrate this remarkable story of music, legacy, and the future of sound.
