The $GALA smart contract upgrade has officially been completed — marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of Gala Games. This successful transition ushers in a new era of security, transparency, and scalability for one of the most ambitious blockchain gaming ecosystems.
After months of meticulous planning, rigorous testing, and seamless coordination with partners across the crypto landscape, the Gala Games team has successfully migrated from the legacy $GALA token to the upgraded smart contract. This is not just a technical refresh — it’s a foundational leap forward that strengthens the entire Gala ecosystem.
What the $GALA Smart Contract Upgrade Means
The new $GALA token operates on an enhanced smart contract deployed at block #17267620 on May 15th. While the ticker remains **$GALA**, this upgrade replaces the deprecated version with a more robust, secure, and future-ready foundation.

Importantly, there is no “$GALA v2” listed separately on exchanges. All major platforms have already adopted the new contract, meaning users purchasing $GALA today are automatically receiving tokens on the upgraded chain. Every wallet holding $GALA at the time of migration now holds an equivalent balance on the new contract — ensuring a smooth, trustless transition for all holders.
This upgrade was executed with precision and care, reflecting Gala Games’ commitment to decentralization, user security, and long-term sustainability.
Security First: Multiple Audits by Industry Leaders
Security is non-negotiable in decentralized finance and blockchain gaming. To ensure the highest standards, the new $GALA smart contract underwent comprehensive audits by two globally recognized cybersecurity firms: CertiK and Anchain.
These independent reviews verified the integrity, resilience, and functionality of the contract code. Audit results have been made publicly available, reinforcing Gala Games’ dedication to transparency and community trust.
By proactively addressing potential vulnerabilities and adhering to best practices in smart contract development, Gala Games has set a new benchmark for safety in blockchain-based gaming economies.
Unprecedented Exchange Support: 54 Platforms On Board
One of the most impressive aspects of this upgrade was the overwhelming support from the global exchange community.
A total of 54 cryptocurrency exchanges publicly announced their support for the $GALA contract migration ahead of the activation block. This level of industry-wide collaboration underscores confidence in Gala Games’ vision and execution.
Exchanges such as Binance, Kraken, Bitfinex, Gemini, OKX, Bybit, Crypto.com, and regional leaders like Bitkub (Thailand), Coins.ph (Philippines), Indodax (Indonesia), and Bitbank (Japan) ensured liquidity and seamless trading continuity throughout the transition.
Whether you're in North America, Asia, or Europe, access to $GALA remains strong and reliable across leading platforms.

Real-Time Transparency: New Circulating Supply API
Transparency isn’t just a promise — it’s a feature.
As part of its ongoing commitment to openness, Gala Games has launched a public API for $GALA’s circulating supply. This tool allows developers, analysts, and community members to access real-time data on token circulation directly from the source:
