Gala

What is Gala

Gala is a blockchain-based platform designed to empower gamers, developers, and creators in gaming, music, and film. It offers a decentralized ecosystem where players can own digital assets and creators can build and monetize content using GalaChain, a layer-1 blockchain.

Unique features include the GalaChain SDK for developers, a Creator Portal for custom tokens and smart contracts, and a focus on verifiable content ownership and automated compensation.

Notable Games

Legacy: A business simulation game where players build and manage virtual enterprises.
Spider Tanks: A competitive multiplayer tank battle game with play-to-earn mechanics.
Mirandus: An open-world RPG with player-owned assets and decentralized economies.
Grit: A Western-themed battle royale game integrating blockchain rewards.
The Walking Dead Empires: A survival MMO based on the popular franchise, featuring NFT assets.

How Users Can Earn

Users can earn through play-to-earn games, trading NFTs on Gala’s marketplace, and operating Founder’s Nodes for daily rewards. Gamers participate in titles like Spider Tanks to earn GALA tokens, while collectors trade in-game assets. Node operators contribute computing power to support the network and gain governance rights, making the ecosystem accessible to both casual players and dedicated participants.

Staking and Rewards

GALA is earned through node operation and gameplay. It serves multiple purposes: in-game transactions, governance voting, and rewards distribution. The token has a total supply of 50 billion, with 44.75 billion in circulation (89.5%). Rewards are distributed daily to node operators, with a variable emission rate adjusted by a formula and halving events tied to supply milestones, ensuring controlled inflation.

Node Program

Gala’s Founder’s Nodes support the network’s infrastructure, handling transaction validation and ecosystem stability. These are community nodes, requiring users to purchase a node license (an NFT) rather than staking tokens. As of June 2025, a Founder’s Node license costs approximately 8,135,702.34 GALA (around $138,632.37 USD at $0.01704 per GALA).

Users participate by buying a license and running node software, contributing computing resources. Benefits include daily GALA token rewards and governance voting rights. The node program is live, with active participation from the community.

Technology and Background

Launched in 2019 by Eric Schiermeyer (Zynga co-founder), Michael McCarthy, and Wright Thurston, Gala is based in the United States. GalaChain, its layer-1 blockchain built on Hyperledger Fabric, powers the ecosystem with features like permissioned minting and oracle support. Developers access the GalaChain SDK and Creator Portal to build tokens and smart contracts. The network integrates with Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain and includes an NFT marketplace. Partnerships with DreamWorks, PokerGO, Epic Games, and Brave enhance its offerings.
