It’s Cold Outside! Gala’s Winter Developer Competition is Here

December 20, 2024

Attention, GalaChain developers… Come get cozy by the $GALA fire! 🔥

We’re turning up the heat this winter with an exciting new community event because It’s Cold Outside! This initiative is an invitation for developers and community members to innovate, collaborate and have some great fun making an impact on the GalaChain ecosystem.

A Toasty $GALA Challenge

We’re calling on developers to create new GalaChain integrated dApps that contribute to the health of the $GALA ecosystem. 

Examples on ways to contribute are: 

  • Creating a token in the Project Token Creation Tool
  • Creating or accepting swaps on GalaConnect
  • Using $GALA in any of our Telegram mini-app tapper games
  • Paying $GALA as a transaction fee for transferring tokens
  • Purchasing a first-party Gala Games item with $GALA

The competition runs until the end of January, with incredible rewards for the most impactful participants, as well as potential TBA stretch goals and reward boosts. Your mission is 3-fold:

  • Objective 1: Build a dApp that helps the Gala ecosystem
  • Objective 2: Encourage community participation for your dApp.
  • Objective 3: Share open-source code to inspire the next generation of GalaChain dApps.

How to Participate

Requirements:

  • Use a wallet app such as Metamask for user signing and registration.
  • Generate new headless wallets for users.
  • Open-source your code by the contest’s conclusion (end of January, 2025)*
  • Track burns using the unique key in burn DTOs.

*More information about how to prove ownership and submit your open-source code will come at the beginning of January. 

Keep an eye on the #galachain-discussion channel in Discord for updates as they become available.

Judging Criteria: Apps will be evaluated solely based on how they help the $GALA ecosystem. Keep it simple and warm yourself by the $GALA fire’s calming glow. ⛄
