Gala is Transforming: Here's Where We're Going

The technology landscape is shifting faster than ever, and we've made a deliberate decision to get ahead of it. That means sharper focus, bolder bets, and concentrating our energy on what we believe will define the next era of the Gala ecosystem. We're excited to share where that's taking us.

Built for What's Next: AI, DeFi, and GalaChain

We have been and will continue to make substantial investments in GalaChain, our DEX, and our broader DeFi infrastructure, including new DeFi features, products, and capabilities, with a relentless focus on reducing friction across the ecosystem.

What makes this moment unique is AI. We're building AI-first across the organization, using agentic tools to accelerate development, ship faster, and unlock capabilities that simply weren't possible before. The velocity is real and it's showing up in our output. This is the Gala we've been building toward.

Our sharper focus gives us fresh eyes, and we are taking a thoughtful look at how all the pieces of the Gala ecosystem work together, especially DeFi and how value flows across the network. We are asking whether every part of the system is as strong as it can be, and we have the clarity and experience now to answer that question well. We will share our thinking through official channels as it develops.

Gala Music and Gala Film: Platform Consolidation

Our clarity is also what's driving our decision to consolidate the standalone Gala Music and Gala Film sites into the main Gala platform. We know many of you have been strong supporters of these communities and the artists within them, and we don't take that lightly.

What this means:

• All NFTs, smart contracts, and token IDs on GalaChain remain fully intact
• There are no changes to the FILM or MUSIC token contracts
• As part of this transition, reward distributions for Music and Film Nodes will be discontinued upon retirement of the standalone sites
• We are in conversations with external parties who may bring dedicated focus and development to these ecosystems, and we expect to share more in the coming weeks

What's Next

GalaChain. Our DeFi ecosystem. The DEX. The launchpad. AI-accelerated development. These are the bets we're making and we're making them with conviction. We'll keep you informed as things develop, and we appreciate your continued support as we move into this next chapter.
