Blockchain: The Backbone of Web3

Blockchain: The Backbone of Web3

What is Blockchain?

Imagine an unchangeable digital ledger that records transactions across numerous computers in a way that guarantees the security and transparency of the data. This is the fundamental idea behind blockchain technology. 

A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger that records transactions in a way that is secure, transparent and immutable.

The Gala ecosystem has its own blockchain, built first for gaming but prepared to power projects from numerous industries beyond entertainment. It’s called GalaChain.

How Does Blockchain Work?

To understand the meaning of blockchain, let’s break down its key components and processes:

Blocks

A block is a collection of data or transactions. Each block contains a list of transactions, a timestamp and a unique identifier called a hash. The hash is like a digital fingerprint that uniquely identifies the block and its contents. No hash is identical to any other.

Chain

Blocks are linked together in a linear sequence, forming a chain, hence the name “blockchain.” Each block contains the hash of the previous block, creating a secure and chronological order of transactions. This linkage ensures the integrity and immutability of the blockchain.

Decentralization

Instead of a single central authority, a blockchain is maintained by a network of nodes (computers). Each node has a copy of the entire blockchain and participates in validating and recording transactions. This decentralized nature eliminates the need for intermediaries and increases security.

For example, the GalaChain ecosystem is largely powered by a decentralized network of Founder’s Nodes, operating through software on the home computers of community members. This is vastly different from a single warehouse that hosts all the data on centralized servers.

Consensus Mechanisms

To ensure all nodes agree on the state of the blockchain, consensus mechanisms are used. Common mechanisms include Proof of Work (PoW), where nodes solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions, and Proof of Stake (PoS), where nodes are chosen to validate transactions based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to “stake” as collateral. We’ll dig deeper into these concepts in a future blog.

Cryptography

Blockchain uses cryptographic techniques to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. Public and private keys are used to sign transactions, ensuring that only the owner of the cryptocurrency can transfer it. The cryptography involved in public and private keys cannot be broken by any current computing methods, making it a secure and reliable way to store and transact data.

Why is Blockchain Important?

Blockchain technology offers several unique advantages, coming together to make it the cornerstone of the web3 revolution:

Security

Blockchain’s decentralized and cryptographic nature makes it highly secure. Once data is recorded in a block, it is nearly impossible to alter without changing all subsequent blocks, which requires consensus from the network.

Transparency

All transactions recorded on a blockchain are transparent and can be viewed by anyone. This transparency builds trust among participants and ensures accountability.

Immutability

A transaction cannot be altered or deleted once it has been added to a blockchain. This immutability ensures the integrity of the data and prevents fraud.

Decentralization

Blockchain operates without a central authority, reducing the risk of central points of failure and increasing the system’s resilience.

Efficiency

Blockchain can streamline numerous processes by eliminating the need for intermediaries, reducing transaction times and lowering costs.

Real-World Applications of Blockchain

Cryptocurrencies

Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies like $GALA (commonly referred to as “altcoins”) rely on blockchain tech to enable secure and decentralized transactions. Cryptocurrencies use blockchain to record all transactions to transparency and prevent double-spending.

Supply Chain Management

Blockchain can enhance supply chain transparency by providing an immutable record of the journey of goods from origin to destination. This helps in verifying the authenticity of products and reducing fraud.

Healthcare

In healthcare, blockchain can securely store and share patient records, ensuring data privacy and improving interoperability between different healthcare providers.

Governance and Voting

Blockchain-based voting systems can enhance the security and transparency of elections. By providing a tamper-proof record of votes, blockchain can help prevent electoral fraud and increase voter confidence, no matter the context.

Gaming and Entertainment

Ecosystems like Gala use blockchain to manage digital assets and transactions. $GALA, the native token of the GalaChain ecosystem, facilitates secure and transparent in-game transactions and rewards.

To learn more about the GalaChain ecosystem and the $GALA token, read the Ecosystem Blueprint.

The Future of Blockchain

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, its potential applications are vast and transformative. Here are a few trends to watch:

Interoperability

Future blockchains will focus on interoperability, allowing different blockchains to communicate and share data seamlessly. This will enhance the overall functionality and adoption of blockchain technology.

While nearly every blockchain innovator sees interoperability as a key piece of the mass adoption puzzle, very few have made meaningful progress toward that goal and many blockchains exist “in their own world” with stringent onboarding requirements. This is why GalaChain was built to seamlessly bridge assets to and from the massively popular Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Scalability

Improving the scalability of blockchain networks is a key focus. Solutions like sharding and layer-2 protocols aim to increase transaction speeds and reduce costs, making blockchain more practical for large-scale applications.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

DeFi platforms are creating a parallel financial system that operates on blockchain, offering services like lending, borrowing, and trading without traditional intermediaries. This could democratize access to financial services globally, but it presents a unique set of challenges in terms of regulation.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

NFTs are unique digital assets stored on the blockchain. They are revolutionizing the way we think about ownership and value in the digital world, impacting industries such as art, music, and gaming. These digital assets are one of the easiest applications of blockchain to understand. Imagine a unique digital collectible with a built-in certificate of authenticity. That’s an NFT

Regulatory Developments

As blockchain technology gains mainstream adoption, governments and regulatory bodies are working to create frameworks that balance innovation with security and compliance.

Blockchain is Here to Stay

Blockchain technology is a revolutionary innovation that underpins the Web3 movement. By providing a secure, transparent, and decentralized way to record and verify transactions, blockchain is transforming industries and paving the way for a more open and inclusive digital future. As the technology matures, its applications will continue to expand, driving innovation and creating new opportunities.

Roadmap

We’re committed to delivering quarterly updates packed with fresh features, new mechanics, and constant quality of life improvements to keep Common Ground World innovative and evolving!

Common Ground Mode

Released!

In the Common Ground mode, your mission isn’t just to survive but to revive. In this single-player, long-term game mode, you’re given a daunting challenge: take a heavily damaged plot of land and turn it into a thriving oasis. Channeling the heart of regenerative agriculture and the spirit of the Common Ground movement, you’ll need to carefully restore the biomes, nurturing the soil and vegetation back to life—one tile at a time.

Your journey begins with a small, barely workable corner of land. But with patience, strategy, and persistence, you’ll breathe life back into the earth, transforming it from a barren wasteland to a flourishing landscape. This is not just a game; it’s a test of your expertise and commitment to mastering the art of sustainability.

Think of Common Ground Mode as the ultimate advanced challenge for those who want to dig deeper into the game’s mechanics. With no pressure from competition, slower growth times, and no Wages on Workers or Gas to sell your crafts, it’s a calm, and methodical challenge. But make no mistake—it will test your skills to the limit. If you can unlock the land’s true potential, you’ll prove yourself a Common Ground World expert, no matter how long it takes!

Guilds

Released!

In Guilds, teamwork makes the dream come true! Join or create a Guild to participate with your Guild mates in electrifying Guild Competitions and prove that your team is the best!

Joining a Guild

Ready to team up and conquer the world of Common Ground? Jump into the Gala Game’s Discord server and head to the #cgw-guilds channel—your gateway to joining an epic community of players! Find the perfect Guild to join, collaborate with like-minded strategists, and dive into team-based adventures. The action starts here, so don’t miss out—your future Guildmates are waiting!

Creating a Guild

As a Common Ground World Node V2 NFT owner, you now have the ability to create your very own Guild, bringing together players to dominate team-based events and score valuable Guild Resources!

But that’s just the beginning. With Library slots, Guild Leaders can lend their most useful NFTs to other members, allowing everyone to level up their towns and unleash sharp strategies! Imagine the possibilities—strategic gameplay takes on a whole new meaning as Guild members share in the benefits of key NFTs, amplifying their collective strength. It’s not just about individual success anymore; it’s about working together for the good of the entire Guild!

So rally your allies, pool your resources, and take your Guild to new heights—because in Common Ground World, unity is strength, and the rewards are waiting for those who seize them together!

Daily Challenges

Released!

Get ready for a new challenge every day in the Events category! Dive into the Daily Challenge and start collecting Town Points with your eligible Rewarding NFTs. Place them, complete the challenge, and claim your Town Points for your daily slice of the $SOIL rewards! The more you contribute to the challenge, the bigger your reward—it’s that simple!

Here’s how it works: when a Daily Challenge timer ends (5PM PT), the daily reward of $SOIL is divided among all players who completed the challenge. Your share depends on how many Town Points you contributed compared to everyone else. If you’re bringing in big points, you’ll claim a major chunk of $SOIL!

For example, let’s say Player A racks up 800 points and Player B scores 200. Player A will claim a whopping 80% of the daily $SOIL rewards, while Player B gets the remaining 20%. The more you contribute to the challenge, the bigger your rewards!

And it gets even better for Guild Members—if you’ve borrowed a Rewarding NFT from your Guild Library, you can still use it to collect Town Points in the Daily Challenge. In this case, the NFT’s owner takes 50% of the rewards, and you, the borrower, will snag the other 50%. Teamwork pays off!

Make sure your NFTs are held on GalaChain or as ERC-721s if stored on Ethereum, as ERC-1155 NFTs won’t work for the challenge—though they can be bridged!

You can find the current list of Eligible NFTs for Daily Challenges in the Annex 2 of this document.

Note: After the initial release, DIRT will be temporarily distributed in place of $SOIL to ensure everything runs smoothly. 

Upgradeable NFTs

Get ready to elevate your gameplay with Upgradeable NFTs! In this thrilling new feature, you’ll be able to take your NFTs to the next level—literally—by leveling them up through 20 tiers of enhanced abilities and effects. Using $SOIL and an array of upgrade materials, you can customize and amplify the powers of your NFTs like never before, adding a whole new layer of strategy to the game!

Upgrade Materials

The key to unlocking your NFT’s true potential! These non-fungible tokens come in three vibrant colors—Red, Blue, and Green—and five rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. Collect them in Competitions, Social Activities, the Gala Store, and more! As you gather and combine these materials, you’ll boost your NFTs, unlocking strong new effects that could change the game in your favor. Participate in Daily Challenges, Events, and social activities to gather these precious upgrade materials, or grab them straight from the Gala Store. You’ll have everything you need to evolve your NFTs and keep your gameplay fresh & new!

Guild Upgrades

It’s not just your personal NFTs that can level up—Guilds can power up too! You’ll be able to increase member slots and Vault space for storing Guild Resources by upgrading the Guild Leader’s Common Ground World Node V2 NFT. But here’s where it gets even more interesting: upgrading a Guild requires $SOIL and merging other Node NFTs together to access a more amazing Guild!

Crypto Crafting & Bots

The future of automation is here with the introduction of Crypto Crafting! Back in the early days of Town Star, players were lucky enough to receive Bot parts—and now, it’s time to bring them to life! In Common Ground World, you’ll finally be able to mix and craft those Bot parts to build your very own robotic helpers. Whether you want to automate crafting lines or boost production efficiency, these Bots are ready to streamline your town-building flow like never before!

Imagine your Bots taking over tedious tasks, freeing you up to focus on even bigger strategies! Just remember, your Bot parts must be in a GalaChain-linked wallet to participate in this next-gen crafting feature.

VOX in Common Ground World

VOX are about to enter Common Ground World! Get ready to place any of the thousands Town Star VOX Collectibles in your Town to add a touch of personality, and get help to earn extra Town Points in all your Daily Challenges. It’s time to put your VOX to work and unlock more in-game perks!

Introducing $GSWAP – The Official Token of GalaSwap

Introducing $GSWAP – The Official Token of GalaSwap

TL;DR

  • $GSWAP is here for GalaSwap users in multiple ways and promotes GalaChain trade health.
  • Get $GSWAP when you complete a trade with $GALA on GalaSwap.
  • 1 $GSWAP for every 1 USD of $GALA swapped.

It seems like only yesterday that we launched GalaChain, creating a user-empowering web3 haven focused on speed, scalability and security. By providing builders with streamlined tools like the GalaChain SDK and the Gala Creator Portal, we’re making it easier than ever for innovators to empower their communities, bringing their ideas to life in the full color of web3.

Shortly after we hit the ground running with the new open vision of GalaChain, we released the first version of GalaSwap, GalaChain’s built-to-grow trade platform. With a plethora of early updates under our belt, such as token additions, partial swaps and API release for external applications, GalaSwap is growing rapidly.

Today we’re dropping a major update, designed to allow users to participate in a program not only for using the GalaSwap platform, but using it in a way that promotes ecosystem health and Gala’s long term vision of an open source web3 future.

$GSWAP

$GSWAP is a new kind of DEX token with a program that perfectly suits GalaChain.

Anatomy of a GalaSwap Trade

Whenever a swap is placed or accepted on GalaSwap, the initiator of the transaction is required to spend $GALA as a fee. Currently, this fee is set to 1 $GALA for all swap transactions (placement or acceptance).

With the addition of $GSWAP, each trade will also result in $GSWAP being distributed to the user who accepted the swap.  

Issuance of $GSWAP

$GSWAP is generated whenever a swap is accepted on GalaSwap. This will be on the current fair market value of $GALA, as taken from 3rd party centralized exchanges. The total USD fair market value of the $GALA portion of the swap will indicate how much $GSWAP will be distributed.

If a user accepts a swap for 1000 $GALA and fair market value at the time is reported as $.05/$GALA, then 50 $GSWAP is generated and distributed to that user.

Each day, 50% of the $GSWAP issued the previous day will be issued to the following Gala managed accounts:

  • 40% to the $GSWAP Gala company wallet, to be used as designated by Gala. 
  • 20% to the Referral program , to be used to incentivize those who bring tokens onto GalaChain.
  • 20% to the Marketing wallet, to be used for the marketing of GalaSwap
  • 20% to the Market Maker Subsidy wallet, to be used to subsidize maker fees and incentives

Soon we hope to add bridging for $GSWAP, but for the moment the token is only being rolled out on GalaChain.

$GSWAP Live

$GSWAP is live right now! There’s never been a better time to explore GalaSwap!

Thank you for your ongoing support of the ecosystem. We hope this new GalaSwap program promotes healthy and sustainable growth of the GalaChain economy.

Now get out there and collect some $GSWAP!
