Recent Developments
With the adoption of non-fungible tokens on the rise, we have seen many celebrities dip their toes into digital art. The decentralized record company of the Gala ecosystem, Gala Music, recently announced a partnership with legendary American rapper Snoop Dogg.
Gala Music announced that it would be joining the rapper in launching his new album ‘Bacc on Death Row’ on its blockchain. In addition to this, 1/17 tracks from the album are being sold as NFTs in Stash Boxes. The boxes are available now in limited supply and for a limited time, starting at $5,000.
To further expand its presence in the NFT sector, Gala announced that it would be allocating $5 billion to gaming, music, movies, and theme park NFTs over the next 12 months.
$2 billion from the fund is expected to go into its gaming sector. A further $ 1 billion will be committed to the studio’s music ambitions, while another $1 billion will be for movies. Finally, the Gala theme park NFTs are expected to receive the remaining $1 billion.
Future Events
Having already attracted some of the best GameFi projects available, Gala recently announced that the award-winning Netherlands-based gaming company, GAMEDIA, had started building a new game, ‘Spider Tanks,’ for the Gala ecosystem.
Spider Tanks is a free PVP Brawler game in which players choose between several Tank Bodies and Weapons in the garage before battling it out with other players in different areas on the map. The game is currently in its Beta development stage, and the presale is currently live.
Another anticipated addition to the games on the network is ‘Legends Reborn.’ In this collectible card game, players build collections and refine their Creatures to battle foes for treasure in the world of Tolkien. With the presale already taking place, members of the Gala community are keenly anticipate the launch of these games.
The team behind Gala is looking to build on the success of its gaming platform with new partnerships and technological leaps. According to the team, GalaChain, the proprietary blockchain of Gala, is in the late stages of development.
The project’s migration to GalaChain is currently one of the most awaited events in the Gala community. The mainnet is expected to drastically reduce network fees and solve many other problems attributed to Ethereum.
