About Gala (GALA)

Gala Games is a blockchain gaming platform allowing developers to use the protocol's toolkit to create their own games. Each game needs to be approved by the community, which makes it a decentralized process. Moreover, community members who run nodes also get voting rights for decisions that affect the network's future progress. GALA is the name and ticker of the Gala Games' native ERC-20 token.


The Gala Games ecosystem is decentralized and run by Founder's nodes. Two other nodes, Paid and Free nodes will be added to the Gala ecosystem when the Gala side chain goes live. Gala Games relies on three consensus mechanisms to power these nodes: Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Storage.


The Founder's node runs the PoW mechanism and receives rewards using a lightweight protocol. The paid nodes will operate on the PoS consensus protocol and provide support to games launched on the Gala ecosystem. On the other hand, the free nodes will run a storage mechanism, eliminating the need for centralized hosting and increasing the decentralization of the Gala network.


GALA is the in-game currency that runs the entire gaming platform. Players can buy and trade NFTs from the Gala store using GALA. Tokens are also used to incentivize node operators and help with network governance.


GALA price and tokenomics

GALA has a total supply of approximately 50 billion. GALA tokens cannot be purchased directly from GALA Games, and there was no Initial Coin Offering for GALA tokens. Instead, GALA tokens are distributed daily to Founder's Nodes and users who refer people to purchase these nodes.


The distribution cycle of GALA tokens starts in July. 21 of a year and ends in July. 20 of the following year. After each distribution cycle, the supply of GALA tokens halves, making the token deflationary.


Over 17 million GALA tokens are distributed daily in the current distribution cycle. Half of this supply is given to Founder's Nodes, while the remaining 50% is allocated to Gala Games Conservatorship.


Due to GALA's halving schedule, the daily distribution of GALA tokens is reduced to over 8.5 million tokens from July 21, 2022.


GALA charts depend on the number of active players on their platform and the quality of new games launched using their toolkit. Gala has massive adoption with a monthly active user base of 1.3 million players, which drives the GALA price.

How does GALA work?

Gala Games works on a hybrid consensus mechanism that uses a three-tier node system. The consensus mechanisms include Proof-of-Work, Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Storage.


Top tier nodes are called Founder's Nodes, and there can only be 50,000. These nodes use the POW mechanism and receive full ownership of in-game NFTs.


Paid and Free nodes will be added to the ecosystem once the Gala side chain goes live. Paid nodes will operate on Proof-of-Stake mechanisms and provide infrastructure for specific games on the Gala network. Free nodes support Founder's and Paid nodes and work on PoS protocol.
