Gala Games is working on a Layer-1 blockchain that will utilize the $Gala for gas fees. However, there are plans to burn about 50% of GALA generated as gas fees. The plan includes redistribution to developers, node owners, and ecosystem partners.

Other factors contributed to the recent rally of $GALA. Since the start of the year, the Twitter handle of Gala Games has been more active, giving community members insights into its expansion for the year.

A recent screenshot of a Discord conversation on the page revealed that about 15 mobile games are under review by the Gala Games team for onboarding. Also, the team announced the acquisition of a mobile gaming studio with about 20 million users.

A Year to Forget for Gala Games

The recent growth represents a massive comeback for $Gala after struggling to gain price stability in 2022. Last year, the struggles of the token came into play due to the decreasing popularity of play-to-earn games, the general downturn of cryptocurrency prices, and factors directly related to the token.

At the height of its struggles in 2022, GALA plummeted by 25% within 130 minutes in November. Within that period, the coin dropped from $0.0394 to $0.0293. The sharp deterioration emanated after a single wallet produced about $2 billion $Gala out of thin air. Consequently, the development triggered fears about hack or rug pull in the crypto community.

Presently, the token is enjoying a $1,201,726,043 trading volume, up 820% in 24 hours. Further, the fully diluted market cap of the token is at $1,343,963,165 billion, with a circulating supply of 6,977,205,436 GALA.

On the Flipside

• Speculative traders took advantage of the exploit on the GALA token in the PancakeSwap pool last year, with one trader making $6.5 million.
