Meet Ollie: As close to no risk earning as you can get in Crypto

November 21, 2025

Crypto usually feels like this: charts flying, strange coins, scary buttons, “are you sure?” popups everywhere.

Ollie is the opposite of that.

Ollie is your gentle “Easy Mode” for crypto – built around dollar-linked coins (USDC & USDT), simple earning from swap fees, and clear, human-language steps.

This post walks through what Ollie is, how Easy Mode works, and why it’s designed to help lower risk and feel closer to no risk as you can reasonably get in crypto.

What is Ollie?

Ollie is your crypto helper inside Gala Swap.

Think of Ollie as a guide that:

Picks sensible, dollar-linked coins (USDC & USDT) for you
Sets up your “earning pot” in the background
Keeps everything inside your wallet, under your control

You choose an amount you’re comfortable with, tap a few buttons, and Ollie does the rest.

Start from as little as $1
Get going in ~90 seconds
No identity verification needed

Built around USDC & USDT

Easy Mode runs on USDC and USDT – two of the most widely used dollar-linked coins in crypto.

That matters because:

Each coin is designed to track $1
Your balance is designed to stay much closer to dollars than most typical crypto tokens
You’re no longer riding the rollercoaster of highly volatile coins

You’re still in crypto, but your starting point is calmer and easier to understand: one coin ≈ one dollar.

How Easy Mode works

Here’s what happens behind the scenes, step by step:

1. Create your wallet

You’ll get a secure wallet that only you control.
We can’t move your money. Nothing happens without your approval in your wallet.

2. Add money with your card or crypto

Start from as little as $1.
We convert your money into the USDC/USDT (and a little bit of GALA) you need to begin earning.

3. Set up your earning pot

Instead of trading, you support a liquidity pool – a shared pot that people use when swapping between USDC and USDT.
Every time someone swaps, they pay a small fee.

4. You earn from swap fees

You get a share of those swap fees, based on how much of the pot you’re providing.
No charts, no leverage, no “day trading”. Just a simple, automated way to earn from other people’s swaps.

5. Track and claim whenever you like

You can see your pot and your earnings in your portfolio.
You can withdraw whenever you want. No lockups.

How does Ollie help reduce the risk of earning in crypto?

Nothing in crypto is 100% risk free. But Ollie is designed to be much calmer than the usual experience:

1. Built around dollar-linked coins (USDC & USDT)

Your pot uses coins designed to track $1 each, not highly volatile meme tokens.

2. You earn from fees, not wild trading

There’s no margin, no leverage, no borrowing.
You’re not trying to guess the next pump. You simply earn a share of swap fees when other people trade.

3. You stay in control

Your money stays in your wallet
We can’t move it for you
Every action needs your approval
You can add or withdraw whenever you like

4. You are never locked in

No lock-up period
No “come back in 90 days”
If you feel unsure, you can just step back and withdraw

What Ollie doesn’t do

Sometimes it’s clearer to say what a product will never do:

No meme-coin roulette
No 100x leverage or complex trading
No borrowing against your balance
No mystery lockups or hidden clauses

Ollie is built to be the “I finally feel comfortable trying crypto” button.

Trusted rails under the hood

Ollie runs on Gala Swap, powered by Galachain, and part of the wider Gala ecosystem:

Gala has a community of over 3 million users
Across all Gala platforms, GalaChain has performed over 50 million transactions, and 800 million operations

In other words: you’re not playing with a random, untested tool.
