On Monday, May 15th, at approximately noon PT, Ethereum block # 17267620 will usher in the new $GALA contract.
After several hours to verify and check the integrity of the snapshot, $GALA (v2) will be distributed to all wallets holding $GALA at a rate of 1:1 and all support/utility for the original $GALA token will subsequently be removed.
Set a countdown for the target block AT ETHERSCAN.
Exchanges
Centralized exchanges offer custodial wallets for your crypto held on the exchange. Because the new $GALA token will be dropped to owners of wallets, we have been working tirelessly with representatives from exchanges all over the world to ensure that as many of them as possible announce their support of the new token’s distribution.
Many exchanges (list included below) have assured us and announced to the public that the distribution will be supported from their end.
If your exchange is on the list, your $GALA (v2) funds will be distributed to you by the exchange. If you are holding your $GALA in an exchange not on this list, it is likely you will see (best case) delays in receiving your $GALA (v2) and (worst case) no distribution at all. We strongly recommend avoiding these risks by storing your $GALA either in a non-custodial wallet or on a supporting exchange from the list.
Supporting Exchange List
Exclusion from this list does not necessarily indicate lack of participation. Only included are exchanges that have publicly announced support. Note to exchanges: If you would like to be included in this list please make an announcement and send it to us for inclusion.

Regarding Coinbase
Coinbase has stated publicly that its users will NOT receive $GALA (v2) distribution. For more information about the exchange’s stance, check out their Twitter thread HERE.
Please note that while Coinbase (the exchange) is not supporting the distribution, the Coinbase Wallet is a self-custody (or non-custodial) wallet, to which users own and control their own private keys. Wallet owners who hold $GALA in the Coinbase Wallet will receive their $GALA (v2).
