    GALA (GALA) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the GALA (GALA) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence GALA price performance.

    Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

    Tokenomics & Utility

    GALA tokenomics have two pillars: emissions and burns.

    • Emissions: Since August 2024, daily emissions equal 0.25% of the gap between the Max Supply (50B) and current Total Supply, creating a smoothing effect instead of abrupt halvings. The daily distribution is allocated to active Founder’s Node operators and ecosystem purposes as defined by governance. (support.gala.com)
    • Burns: GALA is burned as gas for GalaChain transactions. Additional burns occur when ecosystem items are sold in GALA or through special events. In May 2023, the team also burned ~20.9B GALA from company wallets, including prior revenue held in GALA. (support.gala.com)

    What people use GALA for today:

    • Gas for the GALA blockchain
    • Payments for games, NFTs, and collectibles
    • Node incentives and governance in the Gala ecosystem
    • Bridging to Ethereum or Solana for broader liquidity and GALA DeFi participation

    These mechanics directly influence perceived scarcity and may impact GALA price over time, alongside adoption, new game launches, burn levels, and cross‑chain demand. (support.gala.com)

    Assumptions

    • Max supply is 50,000,000,000 GALA; supply is emitted over time via daily distributions and can be reduced by burns.

      Explicitly stated in official tokenomics; daily emissions changed in 2024; burns (e.g., gas, purchases) reduce Total Supply and thus enlarge the gap for future emissions.

    • Founders' Node emissions began on 2020-09-11; earlier minted GALA (from 2019-07-22) modeled to Treasury.

      Support article states node emissions start date; older FAQ outlines earlier daily minting schedule.

    • Split of daily emissions assumed 25% to Nodes and 75% to Treasury until 2021-07-21, then 50/50 thereafter.

      Older FAQ indicated 25% to Daily Distribution pool; 2022 governance posts present/maintain 50/50 split going forward. Exact historical ratio transitions are not fully documented in one place; this is the most consistent interpretation from official materials.

    • Post-2024-08-13 dynamic emissions (0.25% of gap/day) amounts are approximated for 2024-08-13 to 2025-10-12 using an exponential decay model with initial Total Supply ≈ 27.70B.

      Calculated from published halving emissions less the documented ~20.9B burn on 2023-05-15; additional ongoing burns were not individually quantified, so modeled emissions in this window are approximate.

    • No investor/TGE premint; team currently holds ~2B GALA in reserve sourced from emissions to the Gala entity.

      Official tokenomics states no token sale or pre-mint and notes current team reserve; these are holdings, not a distinct release mechanism, so not modeled as a separate allocation.

    • Referral incentive mint allowances (8–10% to direct referrer and 2% to second-degree referrer from burnt gas) are an additional issuance path but not modeled due to missing quantitative burn data.

      Official fee system post establishes mechanism, but without volumes we cannot produce month-by-month token amounts; this mechanism will marginally offset burns.

    Allocations

    Founders' Node Emissions 31.03%
    65%
    How certain we are about this information
    15,513,835,330.5 tokens
    Linear vesting: Sep 11, 2020 - Jul 21, 2021 (monthly)
    Daily distribution during the 34,246,575 GALA/day halving period; modeled 25% of minted GALA to Founders' Node distribution pool. Node emissions began Sep 11, 2020 per official docs.
    Linear vesting: Jul 22, 2021 - Jul 21, 2022 (monthly)
    Annual halving to 17,123,287 GALA/day with split updated to 50/50 between Founders' Nodes and Gala entity per governance communications.
    Linear vesting: Jul 22, 2022 - Jul 21, 2023 (monthly)
    Annual halving to 8,561,643 GALA/day; 50/50 split maintained.
    Linear vesting: Jul 22, 2023 - Aug 12, 2024 (monthly)
    Annual halving to 4,280,822 GALA/day until governance change in Aug 2024; 50/50 split assumed.
    Linear vesting: Aug 13, 2024 - Oct 12, 2025 (monthly)
    Post-upgrade dynamic emissions: each day emits 0.25% of the remaining gap between Total Supply and Max Supply (50B). Tokens here approximate 50% of modeled emissions over this window (other 50% to Gala Treasury), using S0 ≈ 27.70B Total Supply on 2024-08-13 (computed from published halving schedules minus the 20.9B burn). Actual daily amounts decay exponentially and vary with burns.
    Gala Treasury/Conservatorship Emissions 95.41%
    70%

    First distribution year: 68,493,150.68 GALA/day minted; prior to Founders' Node emissions; modeled as minted to Gala Treasury (ecosystem fund).
    Linear vesting: Jul 22, 2020 - Sep 10, 2020 (monthly)
    Start of second halving year (34,246,575 GALA/day) before node emissions began; assumed 100% to Treasury.
    Linear vesting: Sep 11, 2020 - Jul 21, 2021 (monthly)
    Remainder of second halving year while nodes live, with 25/75 split (Nodes/Treasury).
