If you haven’t started swapping tokens on GalaSwap yet, we’ve got the perfect incentive to get you into the action.
A recent GalaSwap update brought in a new Starter Pack item called the Trader Profile Badge.
After purchasing this NFT Badge for $1 using a credit card, users will instantly receive 95% of the purchase price back as $GALA, giving them a tidy little pile of tokens they can use to create or accept swaps.
While the NFT Badge has no utility or intrinsic value, we think you’ll get a lot of use out of the $GALA awarded as a rebate for the purchase.
Create and Accept $GALA swaps – Every token in the GalaChain ecosystem can be swapped to and from $GALA. Create offers or fill offers swapping either to or from $GALA for any other ecosystem token, including the numerous project tokens that have been created by the community.
Create Project Tokens – In just a few minutes, you can burn $GALA to create a brand new project token of your own on GalaChain. Once the Gala Founder’s Node operators (who get a portion of the token as an operator reward) approve your project token via governance vote, your token will be available on GalaSwap and it will be yours to distribute as you please.
Collect $GSWAP – $GSWAP is the built-in reward token of GalaSwap, distributed daily to users who create and accept swaps.
Transfer tokens – Using the Transfer interface, users can easily send or receive GalaChain tokens, including $GALA, $MUSIC or any other token held in a GalaChain wallet.
Start Swapping
Everyone is eligible to buy the Trader Profile Badge and receive the $GALA rebate. You’ll find a purchase option at the top of the GalaSwap page.
Watch the project token markets and get swapping on GalaSwap, where each swap only costs 1 $GALA to create or accept. This is the power of DeFi on GalaChain, delivering endless possibilities and rewards.
The decentralized token swapping protocol of the GalaChain ecosystem continues to make great strides and regular updates to its interface. Today we’re pleased to announce a handful of updates surrounding account inventory and p2p transactions beyond the standard creation and acceptance of swaps.
If you haven’t started using GalaSwap yet, it’s now easier than ever to swap any of your GalaChain tokens for $GALA. With a fee of only 1 $GALA to create or accept a swap, this is the cheapest way to swap tokens anywhere on the decentralized web. All it takes is a free Gala account and a little bit of $GALA.
Sending Tokens
In addition to accepting and creating swaps, you can now send tokens directly to other GalaChain wallets through the GalaSwap interface. This is especially useful for the abundance of Project Tokens that have been created by the community– Until this update, there has been no simple way to transfer these tokens, with the exception of distribution by the project owner and in the completion of swaps.
Now all users have the option to send any fungible token listed on the platform to any GalaChain wallet. The ability to transfer NFTs will come with a future update.
This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including through the Send tab or the Token list view, by choosing the 3-dot menu on the right as pictured below.
Additionally, you can now easily generate a QR code to receive tokens to your GalaChain wallet, using the updated navigation menu on the left side of the page.
View Your NFT Inventory
You can also now browse your GalaChain NFT Inventory right there on GalaSwap. Soon we’ll implement the ability to trade and transfer NFTs directly from GalaSwap, but for now you can only view them.
We’re extremely excited to bring the community this new and improved GalaSwap interface, and we want to remind you that this is only the beginning. We have a lot more awesomeness in store! Thanks for being part of this community.
In our continuous effort to enhance the security of GalaChain, we are implementing a significant security upgrade to the GalaSwap API that will require action from users of the API. If you’re using the GalaSwap API, we appreciate your cooperation in this process to ensure that your integration continues to operate correctly.
Security Upgrade Overview
This update focuses on enhancing the security of API operations by standardizing the signature process. Moving forward, GalaChain will only accept one specific signature out of the two possible valid signatures for any given operation. As a result, API users must update their signing code to generate the newly accepted signature. Failure to do so will cause approximately half of your signed requests to the GalaSwap API to fail with an error message such as “S value is too high.”
Required Actions
Review and Update Request Signing: Please consult the updated Request Signing section of the GalaSwap API documentation. Ensure that your signatures are normalized according to the new guidelines provided in the example code.
Update Your Code Before August 1, 2024: It is critical to update your code to comply with the new signature requirements before the deadline. This includes users of Gala’s open-source bot, who should pull the latest version of the bot’s code. If you interact with third-party services using the GalaSwap API, consult the operators of those services to confirm they are also prepared for this change.
Why This Matters
This proactive security improvement is not a response to any current vulnerabilities but a strategic enhancement to our security protocols. For more information on the technical details and the importance of this update, refer to this informative article on Signature Malleability.Thanks for your prompt attention and support for this important update. Ensuring the security and integrity of GalaChain remains our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in achieving this goal. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please reach out to Gala Support.
This game is an action-packed and visually stunning PvPvE extraction FPS adventure, set on a hostile alien planet called Aura. After picking a Hunter (one of four with unique abilities and specialties), players team up and prepare to take on Aura.
Your mission is to collect a priceless alien artifact with untold technological power: The Notari Core. While fighting off countless vicious predator aliens and other extraction teams, your team must locate and extract core fragments, leading ultimately to the Core, the main focus of the mission. Once you have extracted the Core, it’s a no-limits dash to the dropship, where only one team can escape with the Core (and their lives).
From the moment you drop onto Aura’s surface, you’re in for a high-powered adrenaline rush that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Stay close to your team and you just might be able to protect yourselves long enough to mine and extract the Notari Core.
The Premium Event
Starting very soon and running for two weeks, Last Expedition will hold a Mission Ready Premium Event. Watch closely for updates and announcements.
To participate, players must purchase an event pass in-game for 3 Core Chunks LECC. The ability purchase this item will become available when the Premium Event begins.
LECC can either be acquired by swapping for $GALA on GalaSwap, or by successfully extracting with a Core in-game.
Purchasing an event a pass will unlock the ability to play on Premium Servers and experience Aura like never before. Seven new creature variations will challenge players from the moment they land. We’ve even included a secret feature designed to push player skills to the limit!
Premium Servers give 3 types of premium rewards! There will be XP rewards, Character Coin Rewards and Fire Skins, all exclusive to this event. But wait there’s more! Players who place on the Premium Leaderboards in the top 10 will receive Alice Fire skins, LEMIN, and LEFC. The top 3 Finishers will also receive a bonus “Darkness Sniper Rifle Skin.”
The Last Expedition Leaderboard is the ultimate measure of your skills as a hunter. Wins, PVP Kills and Creature Kills all contribute to your score so don’t delay. Get your pass and start hunting!
Upgrade your Node
Last Expedition Node Operators (OPs) will play an integral part in this premium event. Upgrade your node with a special Operator’s Premium Pass for only 3 LECC to unlock the ability to host premium matches on your server. This pass will last for the duration of the 2 week event, setting up your Node with a preselected bundle of creatures. This will give all participating nodes a consistent threat level, providing the competition with a level playing field. When the event is over, your node will return to its original configuration and threat level.
For every match hosted during the event, Node owners will be rewarded an extra 25 percent of LEMIN, LECC and LEFC. In addition, Operators will receive the following participation rewards:

It’s only been a short time since the Project Token Creation Tool was released on GalaSwap, but some big things have been happening.
Since opening up the floodgates to new tokens on GalaSwap, 70 new tokens have been created on GalaChain. Over 420,000 total $GALA has been burnt in the token creation process, and we’ve seen some people really dive into new tokens on GalaSwap!
We just wanted to pop in today to highlight that one new token on GalaChain hit over $1m in market cap after only a few weeks! $WEN!
This was snipped on July 3rd, around 2pm PT on galacoins.xyz!
“$WEN is initially a memecoin based on a famous joke about delays. Within a few days, I started leveraging my knowledge of Galachain’s tools to decentralize the holdings and gamify the trading. Now it aims at becoming a token with utility, the first of which is to access to features on galacoins.xyz”
Lukabylie, $WEN
WEN?
$WEN is a token created by a community member you may know as Lukabylie on Discord. They also happen to be the owner of galacoins.xyz!
WEN was first created at the beginning of June, but it’s taken off within the community with amazing speed! As of the time of writing this article, $WEN is showing a $600k market cap on galacoins!
More Than a Memecoin
As promised, here is the Litepaper for $WEN! It goes through the basics of coin creation on Gala, the specifics of our coin and most importantly our vision and what we already built to achieve. Share it & tell us what you think! https://t.co/mE0xHMM7Ga
We here at Gala are absolutely thrilled to see the community embrace a grassroots token like this. What’s even greater to see is that it’s not just the meme that’s making WEN desirable… just a few weeks in and the team is already providing actual utility for holding WEN!
Add in the robust transparency that they have diligently performed with distributions and allocations, and it’s pretty clear why the community has placed so much trust in $WEN!
“We are thrilled with the community’s interest in the token and in galacoins.xyz. What I’m personally surprised about is the magnitude of the interest and support our project received. With that in mind, we intend to expand on galacoins.xyz and create new projects if possible.“
We could not be happier to see WEN gaining steam in the ecosystem. GalaChain is a place for creativity and ingenuity, and we want people to build their projects here and leverage the power of this chain to achieve success.
Congratulations to the $WEN team on early success! Thanks for being a part of GalaChain!
