Gala Games is a blockchain-based gaming platform allowing players to earn crypto and NFTs by playing games, launched in 2019 by Eric Schiermeyer, Michael McCarthy, and Wright Thurston.
Using Ethereum, Gala offers play-to-earn games on a decentralized network of user-owned nodes that contribute to platform security and development.
Players can own in-game items through NFTs and trade or sell them on open markets for real money based on supply and demand.
The GALA token is used for in-game purchases, rewards, governance voting, and can be earned by running a node on the platform.
Backed by investors like Binance's Accelerator Fund and C2 Ventures, Gala Games aims to revolutionize player interactions and earnings in the gaming space.
Gala Games expanded beyond gaming into music and film, providing decentralized platforms for artists to sell directly to fans.
The Gala Node Network consists of Founder’s Nodes, Game Nodes, Player Nodes, and Film Nodes, each playing a specific role within the ecosystem.
GalaChain, Gala Games' Layer 1 blockchain powered by Hyperledger Fabric, is fast, secure, and tailored for entertainment, with a unique consensus system for transaction finality.
With Gala Music and Gala Film platforms, artists can tokenize their work as NFTs, earn token rewards, and maintain ownership within the Gala ecosystem.
The GALA token serves various purposes within the Gala Games ecosystem, including rewarding node operators, governance voting, in-game purchases, and player rewards.
