Last week, the GalaChain community was presented with an important decision: how to evolve the network’s economic model to support its next phase of growth.

The vote has now concluded.

The result is in. YES has passed.

This marks a major milestone for GalaChain. With strong support from node operators, the network will move forward with the transition to a disinflationary emission model, bringing fee-sharing, permanent burns, and a long-term economic structure designed for sustainability.

What This Means

With the approval of the proposal, GalaChain enters a new phase built around stronger incentives, predictable emissions, and a model aligned with one of the most successful Layer 1 ecosystems in crypto.

The upgrade introduces:

• A disinflationary emission schedule starting at 15% with a 15% annual decay
• A 1.5% permanent emission floor, ensuring ongoing rewards for node operators
• 50% of all gas fees distributed directly to node operators
• 50% of all gas fees permanently burned, reducing total supply over time

This replaces the previous gap-based model and removes the reflexive minting behavior tied to token burns. From this point forward, every burned token is permanently removed from circulation.

A New Era for Node Operators

For node operators, the impact is immediate and meaningful.

Day 1 rewards are expected to increase significantly,based on current assumptions, alongside the introduction of continuous fee-sharing. Network activity now directly contributes to operator rewards.

Combined with the permanent emission floor, this establishes a long-term incentive structure designed to support operator long term participation by node operators.

What Happens Next

With the vote approved, the network will begin moving toward implementation of the new economic model. Updates will be shared as progress continues and key milestones are reached.
