Introduction to GALA game

Gala Games is a blockchain-powered game combining NFT created with the goal of building a blockchain game ecosystem, allowing players to own, trade, and buy game items. Launched in 2020, the platform is one of the earliest movers in the play-to-earn arena, by rewarding players in the form of GALA tokens for playing multiple of their games.

Gala Games was developed by a team of 200 remote employees with over 1.3 million monthly active users worldwide. The CEO of Gala Games, Eric Schiermeyer, is also one of the co-founders of Zynga – a very popular social game developer.

In February 2022, the game studio released Gala Music, a personal NFT music website. Its goal is to assist upcoming musicians and empower artists. In addition to making money from NFT sales, musicians can mint and distribute their songs. One of the most recent artists to announce NFT drops on the website was Snoop Dogg.

What is GALA token?

GALA is the utility token of Gala Games, which aims to give players control over their in-game assets using blockchain technology.

The GALA token can be used in any of the GALA Games. GALA can be used to purchase in-game items, participate in the management of games, and earn money by running a node to secure the Gala network and validate transactions.

The gala (GALA) token runs on Ethereum and the Binance Smart Chain. As well as peer-to-peer transactions, it is rewarded to the nodes that power the Gala ecosystem. Gala Games has built a blockchain network powered by GALA coins in order to accomplish its stated purpose. The system is based on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain network, and users have a complete choice over how to spend GALA tokens, which are transferable between users.

The GALA cryptocurrency was launched in September 2020 at $0.001, and for the first three months struggled to get past its launch price. On 17 September 2021, GALA coin managed to break past the $0.1 barrier. Since then, GALA price kept going up and reached its all-time high of $0.83 on 26 November 2021.
