🎂 Can you believe it’s already been two years of GalaChain!? 🎂
Happy Birthday GalaChain!
It was Autumn 2022. Fresh out of the second Galaverse in Malta, there was a buzz of excitement surrounding Gala Games. Gala Music was still in its early stages, and Gala Film had just made its debut.
With numerous titles in the pipeline at Gala Games, it became evident that a more efficient solution than Ethereum was needed. Enter GalaChain, initially known as ‘Project GYRI’. Although it was still in development, it was progressing rapidly towards its eventual launch to the public.
While the initial channels were being tested, GalaChain was not yet live and supporting applications. However, this was soon to change.
Prior to the official launch, some activities were conducted on a test chain. The unveiling of Project GYRI occurred in early 2022 with the test game Town Crush. Eventually, the project evolved into what we now know as GalaChain.
On October 31st, 2022, Spider Tanks was launched, marking a significant milestone as the first game fully backed by GalaChain transactions. The asset bridge was opened before the game’s release, and transactions were executed seamlessly, demonstrating the chain’s capabilities.
At 3:58pm PT, GalaChain went live with the creation of block 1586—a monumental moment for the platform!
Witness the inaugural interactive, public, multi-party transaction on GalaChain!
Racing Forward
Following those initial blocks, GalaChain began to expand at a pace beyond expectations.
Champions Arena quickly tapped into the power of GalaChain. Common Ground World underwent a transformation to fully utilize the chain’s capabilities. Within six months, nearly a dozen different applications were up and running on GalaChain!
Subsequently, individuals outside the Gala Games community started utilizing GalaChain to engage with the ecosystem. Even before the GalaChain SDK was released in early 2024, NFT Harbor facilitated secure item exchanges on the platform. Post-SDK launch, the development on GalaChain surged significantly!
GalaChain Into the Future
It’s hard to fathom that GalaChain was introduced just two years ago. While Gala Games, Gala Music, and Gala Film continue to leverage the platform for immersive experiences, a global wave of development is now underway!
Attempting to list all the projects utilizing GalaChain would be a daunting task. The innovation and creativity observed on the chain are truly remarkable!
GalaChain’s growth is accelerating daily, attracting more developers for its capabilities, flexibility, and scalability. The journey of GalaChain has been remarkable, and the potential for further growth is limitless!
