Know the backstory

Autumn 2022 — GalaChain production era; July 29, 2024 — public TestNet

Built by: Gala Games and Entertainment

Gala began as a gaming and entertainment ecosystem. GalaChain was developed as a Layer 1 for games, music, and film after the ecosystem had used other chains; its public developer test network launched in 2024.

Why it stands apart

A gaming and entertainment token ecosystem.

GALA the token, Gala Games the company/ecosystem, and GalaChain the network are related but not interchangeable.

Bottom line: Gala has its own design, trade-offs, and risks. Learn the network before you use the asset.

Follow the money

What happens after you hit send.

  1. A user signs an ecosystem transaction or game-related action.
  2. GalaChain processes activity through its network and Founder’s Node infrastructure.
  3. The relevant app updates its on-chain record under the chain's rules.

Know the economics

Where new GALA comes from.

GALA token and GalaChain network rules have changed over time. Use current official documentation for live supply and migration information.

Protect the downside

The mistake you cannot undo.

Game items and tokens can lose utility or liquidity. Verify the official game, chain, token, and wallet connection before interacting.

Go beyond the summary

The subject in plain English.

Before you act

Verify before you sign.

  2. Confirm the exact name, ticker, network, and token or contract address.
  3. Do not share a recovery phrase, private key, or remote access with anyone.
