Gala is a comprehensive web3 ecosystem powered by GalaChain, a layer-1 blockchain that was originally created to support Gala's entertainment sectors, which include Gala Games, Gala Music, and Gala Films. GALA, the native token, serves as both a utility and a gas token in the ecosystem. GalaChain's DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) consists of Founder's Nodes that give resources to the ecosystem in exchange for daily GALA rewards and specific governance power. Projects can also set up their own Node networks for specific workloads. Developers can create custom tokens, smart contracts, rewards, and node networks, with the added option of linking assets created on GalaChain to other blockchains like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
You can view, swap, send and receive GALA tokens directly from your MEW Wallet. To receive your GALA tokens you can send them to your public wallet address. You can then view them in your MEW Wallet by selecting your wallet and selecting the token from the tokens list. You should see the GALA token information page. You can send your GALA tokens in your MEW Wallet by clicking the ‘Send’ button and entering the recipient’s wallet address. To swap your GALA tokens, you can click the ‘Swap’ button and choose which tokens you want to swap to. However, if the ‘Swap’ button is not active you will need to use a DEX to swap your tokens.
