The Gala ecosystem just took a meaningful step forward. On 7th November, Gala officially introduced GalaPump, a next-generation token launchpad built to give creators, developers, and communities a direct way to build and launch custom tokens inside GalaChain.
This release marks an important milestone in Gala’s broader push toward a creator-driven economy. With GalaPump, the fast-paced excitement of Web3 token launches finally comes fully on-chain within Gala’s own high-performance Layer 1 blockchain.
A Fair Launch Revolution, Tailored for Gala
Inspired by the surge of fair-launch platforms like pump.fun, GalaPump takes the same energy and adapts it for the GalaChain ecosystem. More importantly, it removes the usual complications of launching tokens on outside networks. There’s no juggling of bridges, wrappers, or external deployment tools. Instead, everything happens natively on GalaChain, with low fees, fast confirmations, and direct alignment with Gala’s expanding world of games, digital collectibles, and utilities.
To put it simply, GalaPump opens the door for anyone to launch a token and start building a community around it.
What Makes GalaPump Different
- Token Creation & Launch
GalaPump streamlines the entire token-creation process so creators can get started quickly. Tokens can be deployed in minutes through a guided interface that asks for basic details such as name, supply, symbol, description, image, and social links. No coding is required, and no external setup is needed. - Community Building Built In
Beyond launching a token, GalaPump equips creators with built-in tools to grow and engage their communities. This means that projects can set up social connections, present their story, and soon, even incorporate streaming features that bring audiences directly into the launch experience. It brings token creation and community formation closer together rather than treating them as separate steps. - Double Rewards for Early Creators
To kickstart adoption, Gala is offering double creator rewards for projects launched through GalaPump. This gives early builders more resources to fuel their ideas, support community growth, and position their tokens for long-term momentum.
- Deep GalaChain Integration
Everything on GalaPump runs natively on GalaChain, so creators benefit from fast transactions, fixed low gas fees, and instant access to tools across the Gala ecosystem. As tokens gain traction, they can graduate to Gala’s decentralized exchange, GalaSwap, where they receive more visibility and access to liquidity pools. This creates a direct pathway from launch to real trading activity, all without leaving Gala’s ecosystem.
How It Works
GalaChain provides a secure, transparent launching framework that ensures all GalaPump tokens follow a consistent, fair-launch model. Tokens begin trading along a bonding curve, and once they hit the required threshold, they can graduate to GalaSwap.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the process:
01: Pick a Coin You Like
Browse live fair-launch tokens on the platform and select one that interests you.
02: Buy on the Bonding Curve
Purchase tokens along a bonding curve, where the price automatically adjusts based on demand. Early buyers typically get lower prices as supply grows.
03: Sell Anytime
You can sell your tokens at any time to lock in profits or limit losses. There are no vesting periods or restrictions.
04: Graduate to GalaDex
Once a token reaches the graduation threshold, it automatically graduates to GalaSwap, enabling broader trading and liquidity options.
Swaps on GalaChain
Swaps on GalaChain work differently from traditional order book systems. Instead, swaps take place against passive liquidity pools where liquidity providers earn a share of the swap fees. This automated model supports smooth price discovery, quick execution, and accessible trading for newly launched tokens.
Fees
GalaPump uses a transparent and predictable fee structure:
- Create Coin:1 GALA (gas fee)
- Buy on Bonding Curve:1 GALA (gas) + 0.1% trading fee
- Sell on Bonding Curve:1 GALA (gas) + 0.1% trading fee + RBC fee (0–50%)
- Gas Fee:Flat 1 GALA per transaction
- Trading Fee:1% (in GALA) on buys and sells
- RBC Fee:Variable, set by the creator, and applies only when selling on the bonding curve. The percentage increases as the token’s circulating supply grows, and is configured by the token creator.
Important note: None of Gala’s own front-ends, like the GalaChain Web App, Advanced, and Mobile, charge extra charges beyond these basics. But if you hit up the smart contracts via some third-party setup, they might add their own fees.
Proof of Concept
The first project to complete the full lifecycle is DemonKPop (DKP), a K-pop-themed token that launched on GalaPump and has since graduated to GalaSwap. It’s a real-time example of how a project can move from concept to active trading entirely within Gala’s ecosystem.
Another Standout: $BENE
Another standout worth noting is $BENE, a mission-driven token supporting the Snoop Foundation. Benefactor pledged to purchase up to $1M USD worth of $BENE directly on GalaSwap, publishing daily on-chain receipts to maintain transparency.
The consistent activity has sparked rapid community growth, making $BENE a cultural example of how meme-driven tokens on GalaChain can evolve into something with real-world impact.
A Safer Entry Point: Meet Ollie on GalaSwap
While GalaPump captures the excitement of meme coin culture, GalaSwap also offers accessible earning tools for users looking for something more stable. As an example, Ollie helps users allocate assets like USDC and USDT into liquidity pools to earn from swap fees, all without complex charts, leverage, or advanced DeFi setups. Moreover, the funds remain entirely in the user’s wallet, withdrawals are instant, and participation can start from just $1.
Together, GalaPump and Ollie show how Gala is shaping both ends of the crypto spectrum, from cultural, fast-moving projects to calmer earning mechanisms.
Why This Launch Matters
Since GalaChain’s mainnet rollout earlier in 2025, Gala has been building toward an ecosystem that empowers creators at every level. With over 1.3 million active users and a rapidly expanding network of games, tools, entertainment features, and social integrations, now is the perfect moment for a launchpad built around creativity.
For creators, the message is clear: this is the time to experiment, launch, and grow. Double creator rewards won’t last forever, and the early stages of an ecosystem always create the biggest openings for new ideas.
