1. Overview of GALA Games
Gala Games is a gaming platform that combines NFT on blockchain, operating on both Ethereum & Binance Smart Chain ecosystems. Gala Games also offers various features, including a variety of NFT (Gala Games) and NFT Marketplace (Gala Store) games.
Users can enter the gaming world easily thanks to the features in the Gala, play games, buy and sell and exchange items.
2. Gala Highlights
At the Gala, it is impossible not to mention the highlights such as:
2.1. Gala Store
Users can use GALA Token as in-game currency to quickly sell items and NFTs. At the same time, GALA tokens can be used to play in games on the Gala platform.
2.2. Gala Games
This is a platform for users to easily access Gala’s games and watch them evolve. In the platform, Town Star is a farming simulation game and also the first game released by Gala.
2.3. Gala Nodes
Users can run Gala Nodes to support the Gala network. In return, they get rewards like GALA Token, limited edition NFT and other earning opportunities. The Gala Node ecosystem uses 3 algorithms, including Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Storage (Proof of Storage).
PoW is called Founder Nodes, which are fully owned 50,000 NFT based level 1 nodes. These are the earliest backers, they will receive NFT from all subsequent games and GALA allocated to their nodes. PoS are paid nodes that operate for specific games, through a smart contract “rent” structure. Proof of storage as free nodes will allow games to be fully hosted on the node ecosystem, eliminating reliance on centralized hosting solutions like Amazon S3.
According to the original plan, GALA gave out 3 types of NODE, but then only kept the founder’s NODE. The rest of NODE FREE and the paid NODE didn’t go according to plan, so they removed it.
2.4. VOX NFT
In addition to the above highlights, it is impossible not to mention VOX. VOX is Gala Games’ NFT collection. Each VOX is unique and some VOXs are rarer than others. There were 8,888 VOX distributed with an average price of 0.0888 ETH, or about $300 at the time of writing. Although inspired by the Town Star, VOX also has a number of other utilities beyond just being an NFT avatar. Owners can lock GALA and earn VOX using their VOX Avatar in the future. VOX owners also receive an FBX file, allowing them to animate or even 3D print them in the future.
More than that – each VOX acts as a “charm” for the right Exemplars. Therefore, when you possess a suitable Exemplar and VOX, you will receive a special boost to the Exemplar’s pre-existing abilities.
In addition to this exciting information, Gala Games revealed that there will be no play add-ons to earn in Town Star. However, as Town Star Play-to-Earn enters Season 2, Mirandus VOX will play a central role in this highly anticipated second season.
