FAQ
What are Founder's Nodes in the Gala ecosystem?
Founder's Nodes are licensed nodes that operators run on their own hardware to support the Gala Games network. Node operators earn daily GALA token distributions and may receive NFT drops. The number of Founder's Nodes is capped at 50,000, and their licence cost has varied over time.
What is GalaChain?
GalaChain is Gala's own blockchain, built to handle the high transaction volume of in-game activity that would be too costly on Ethereum mainnet. It is designed for gaming-specific use cases like item transfers, crafting, and real-time game actions. GALA tokens exist on both Ethereum and GalaChain.
How does Gala Games compare to traditional gaming platforms?
Traditional platforms like Steam or the App Store retain full control over in-game items, which cannot be transferred or sold outside the platform. Gala Games records items as NFTs, giving players verifiable ownership and the ability to trade them on secondary markets. However, Web3 games currently have smaller player bases than mainstream titles.
