Node Owners: Keep Earning Node Rewards With Eligible $GALA Liquidity Pools

December 22, 2025

Founder’s Node staking doesn’t have to mean ‘idle $GALA’.

We now include $GALA held in eligible GalaSwap liquidity pools in the daily Node Staking snapshot – so you can provide liquidity and still receive node rewards.

Eligible pools

  • GALA / ETH
  • GALA / BTC
  • GALA / XRP
  • GALA / SOL
  • GALA / USDT
  • GALA / USDC

We may expand eligible pools over time.

How it works 

  • In the daily snapshot, we count $GALA held on GalaChain, in your Allowance, and in eligible GalaSwap liquidity pools.
    • You can view your balances in the Node Staking Dashboard on Gala Connect
  • We total your eligible $GALA and calculate node rewards as usual.

There are no changes to nodes requiring 1 million GALA held on GalaChain to receive maximum rewards.

How to set up a Liquidity Pool on Gala Swap

  1. Go to GalaSwap and Connect your wallet
  2. Click ‘Pools’, then ‘New Position’
  3. Select an eligible Pair
  4. Set your fee, range and deposit
  5. Confirm your pool

Don’t have the matching token for your chosen pair? 

You can bridge tokens into GalaChain or swap on GalaSwap. 

Remember, only the $GALA portion of your position is counted toward the snapshot.

Head to GalaSwap and put your $GALA to work, while keeping your node rewards intact.

Important risk reminder: Providing liquidity involves risk (including impermanent loss and market volatility). Only participate if you understand the tradeoffs.
