GALA Games: What is it?
Gala Games is a platform that develops blockchain-based games. Its games allow players to hold on to their in-game items using non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
GALA Token:
In the Gala Games ecosystem, the GALA token serves as a digital utility token. The GALA token is cryptographically secured and unique to the Gala Games ecosystem. Users have full control over how Gala is used, and it can be transferred to another user. GALA is the backbone of the Gala Games Ecosystem. Games can run on Founder’s Nodes because they support the ecosystem in which they run. GALA’s first game, Town Star, includes a reward structure in which the top 100 players are rewarded.
As of right now, GALA adheres to the ERC-20 standard and is built on the Ethereum blockchain. As a medium of exchange within the Gala Games ecosystem, GALA acts as a non-refundable utility token. The purpose of introducing GALA is to provide participants within the Gala Games ecosystem with a convenient and secure method to pay for and settle transactions (such as payment for in-game items). No shareholding agreement or shareholding rights are acknowledged by Gala Games, any of its affiliates, or any other company, undertaking, or corporation. GALA does not promise clients any services, dividends, revenue, profits, or investment returns, and it is not intended to qualify as a security. Ownership of GALA carries no rights, either express or implied, as GALA was created for use in the Gala Games ecosystem.
Cryptographically secure wallets and storage mechanisms can be used to access items held on the Ethereum blockchain. GALA’s wallet on its website and in its app is an open-source, keyphrase-protected wallet, and once you create a wallet, only YOU have access to the items and funds stored in that wallet.
How Does it Work?
Gamers can choose and play a wide variety of games from the Gala Games store, much like Steam or GOG. The games, however, are 100% free-to-play and can be accessed through a decentralized application (DApp) via the blockchain rather than centralized stores.
A total of five different games are currently in development at Gala Games — these include:
- Mirandus: A fantasy RPG where players battle monsters in different locations to earn money and build their land.
- Spider Tank: Spider Tank is an online multiplayer battle arena game that lets players use various weapons and spider tanks to fight each other across a variety of maps.
- Town Star: A game that lets players from all over the world compete to earn NFTs by building and developing towns.
- Fortified: A PvP tower defense game where players use player-owned assets to put their strategies to the test.
- Echoes of Empire: This sci-fi strategy game pits players against each other for scarce resources spread throughout the universe.
Players can also access a full-featured NFT store to manage all of their in-game assets. Due to its integration with CoinPayments, these items can be bought and sold in a variety of cryptocurrencies including Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Ancient.
Features:
Built on the Binance Smart Chain
Originally developed on Ethereum blockchain, Gala Games recently bridged the GALA token to Binance Smart Chain as a BEP-20 asset using the p.Network Bridge DApp. When players use or spend their GALA tokens, the transaction fees are drastically reduced.
Multiple Games
There are close to half a dozen blockchain-powered games on the Gala network where games are being developed. Games like RPGs, space exploration games, tower defense games, and more can be found here.
Built-in Store
Gamers have the option of buying and selling in-game items via Gala Games’ integrated marketplace. Using this system, users can easily access liquidity to buy game spoils or buy new items/characters to improve their gaming experience.
Community-Driven
Powered by community-owned nodes, the Gala Games network depends on community participation. Also, the development staff and operating staff are constantly interacting with the community to find out which games/features are most desired.
Therefore, resources can be allocated to creating the games and experiences that the community wants and to producing assets that are unique to its community.
There is a large community
In contrast to most play-to-earn games, which typically have a user base that ranges from tens to hundreds of thousands, Gala Games boasts over 1.3 million active players. The result is that blockchain-based games launched through the platform are likely to become among the most popular P2E games in the space right from the get-go.
