Over 130M $GALA Bridged Daily as Node Staking Changes Go Live

Key Points

1. An average of 130 million $GALA tokens per day have been bridged into GalaChain over the past three weeks.

2. Gala launched a new node staking model on June 16, 2025, requiring users to hold 1 million $GALA for full rewards, with reduced rewards for smaller holdings.

3. A future phase will require $GALA to be locked for additional user participation, moving beyond just holding the token.

4. Gala introduced $GSTAKE, a new token that will allow staking with a 1:1 reward ratio, minted by converting specific NFTs purchased with $GALA.

5. $GSTAKE will be tradable on Gala Connect, GalaSwap, and possibly other platforms, with details on qualifying NFTs to be announced.

6. The upcoming launch of GalaSwap, Gala's own DEX, is contributing to the momentum and demand for native trading, staking, and DeFi activity on GalaChain.
