Galxe (GAL)

Overview

Galxe is a platform that helps blockchain projects build communities and recognize what people do across Web3. A project can use Galxe to run a learning campaign, check whether someone completed a task, and offer a badge, loyalty point, or other reward. Its tools also help applications work with digital identity and reputation. (help.galxe.com)

The name Galxe refers to the platform, while GAL refers to its original token. In 2024, the project began moving GAL’s functions to Gravity (G). G now serves both Galxe and Gravity, the blockchain built by the Galxe team. This distinction matters throughout the project’s history: older material often describes what GAL did, while newer products use G. (galxe.com)

History & Team

From Project Galaxy to Galxe

The project began in 2021 under the name Project Galaxy. Its early focus was a shared network for credentials: records that show a person has completed an action or holds a qualification. For example, a credential might show that a wallet used an application or joined a community event. Galxe later expanded from credential tools into campaigns, identity services, analytics, and token distribution. (medium.com)

Galxe’s co-founders are Charles Wayn, Harry Zhang, and Xinlu C. Zhang and Wayn had previously worked together on Lino Network and DLive. In January 2022, Galxe announced a $10 million financing round co-led by Multicoin Capital and Dragonfly Capital. Other participants included Spartan Group, Sky9 Capital, Jump Capital, and several crypto-focused investors. (assets-cms.kraken.com)

GAL entered wider use in 2022. In July 2024, the project introduced the GAL-to-G conversion at a rate of one GAL for 60 G. The change joined the platform’s token functions with those of Gravity. Gravity first operated through an Alpha network; its Layer 1 mainnet went live in July 2026. (medium.com)

Technology & How It Works

Credentials, quests, and identity

Galxe connects information about activity on blockchains with information from other services. A project can set a rule for a Galxe Quest, such as using a particular application or meeting a membership requirement. The platform checks the relevant credential to decide whether a wallet qualifies. Project teams can build these campaigns with no-code tools, while developers can use APIs and other integrations for custom applications. (help.galxe.com)

Credentials can support more than rewards. They can help a community recognize repeat participants, limit an activity to eligible members, or reduce duplicate participation by one person using several accounts. Galxe ID links activity to a Web3 profile, while Galxe Score uses parts of a user’s history and engagement to form a reputation measure. (help.galxe.com)

Galxe Passport handles identity verification. Its Passport V3 system can let a partner check that a user meets an identity condition without showing that partner the underlying identity document. Galxe Identity Protocol uses zero-knowledge proofs to support this kind of limited disclosure: an application can receive proof of a needed fact rather than a full set of personal details. (help.galxe.com)

Gravity’s role

Gravity provides blockchain infrastructure for activity across the ecosystem. Its current Layer 1 mainnet supports Galxe Quest contracts, including loyalty points and token rewards. Gravity uses an Ethereum-compatible execution system, so developers can work with familiar smart-contract tools. The team also describes a native oracle for bringing verified information into applications. G is the network’s native token for transaction fees. (help.galxe.com)

Tokenomics & Utility

GAL originally had a total supply of 200 million tokens. Its published allocation included a community treasury, team tokens, foundation reserves, early-adopter rewards, ecosystem funding, and allocations for backers. The treasury received 20% of the original supply, while the team received 15%. These figures describe GAL’s original distribution, before the move to G. (binance.com)

G launched with an initial total supply of 12 billion tokens. That figure follows the 1:60 conversion: 200 million multiplied by 60 equals 12 billion. When a holder converted GAL through the project’s process, the GAL was burned and G was issued on the same supported chain. Galxe stated that GAL’s existing utility would move to G. (galxe.com)

G has several stated functions. It pays transaction fees on Gravity, supports governance through the G DAO, and can be used for payments in Galxe applications. This gives the token a role in both the blockchain and the services built around it. Galxe also introduced a G Staking feature for platform benefits, but announced that this particular feature would close as the older Gravity Alpha network is retired. (galxe.com)

G exists in different network forms, including a token on Ethereum and a native token on Gravity. A wallet’s network setting determines which balance it displays and which applications can use that balance. For example, Galxe Quest reward contracts on Gravity L1 use G on Gravity L1, rather than G held on the earlier Alpha network. (galxe.com)

Ecosystem & Use Cases

Community growth and rewards

Galxe Quest is the platform’s best-known use case. A blockchain project can guide newcomers through a set of actions, such as exploring an app, learning about a network, or joining a community. Completing a quest may lead to a badge, points, or a reward chosen by the project running it. The campaign gives the project a way to teach users and record participation in one place. (galxe.com)

Other Galxe products serve different stages of community growth. Earndrop helps projects manage token claims and eligibility rules. Starboard measures contributions such as community engagement and on-chain activity. Passport helps applications check identity-related conditions, and Galxe Score gives projects another way to set participation requirements. Each tool uses a different kind of information, but all aim to make user activity easier to recognize and act on. (galxe.com)

The platform has been used across many blockchain ecosystems rather than a single network. In its review of 2025, Galxe reported 36 million users and more than 7,700 partner projects. Those are the company’s reported figures for that period, not a measure of how many people use every product or hold G. (galxe.com)

Advantages & Challenges

Galxe’s main strength is the link between credentials and practical community tools. A project can create a quest without building its own system for every task, while developers can connect identity and eligibility checks to their applications. Its support for activity across multiple chains also helps projects reach users who already belong to different blockchain communities. (help.galxe.com)

That breadth creates complexity. A newcomer may encounter a Galxe account, wallet, Passport, Score, quest points, and G tokens in the same experience, although each serves a different purpose. Reward campaigns also need ways to distinguish meaningful participation from automated or duplicate accounts. Galxe offers bot-detection and identity-related requirements, and the project running each quest chooses which requirements to apply. (help.galxe.com)

The transition to Gravity adds another point to understand. GAL and G have different token histories, while Gravity Alpha and Gravity L1 are different networks. Galxe has set November 1, 2026, as the end of operations for the Alpha network and its Galxe G Staking page. (galxe.com)

Where to Buy & Wallets

G is available on Kraken, Binance, OKX, and Bitget, subject to each platform’s regional availability. Listings use the name Gravity and the symbol G. Binance completed its GAL-to-G token swap in 2024 and opened trading for G under the new symbol. (kraken.com)

G can be held in compatible self-custody wallets, including MetaMask and Trust Wallet. The wallet must be connected to the network where the tokens are held, such as Ethereum or Gravity L1. Holders of the original GAL token used Galxe’s migration process to convert it to G; G on Gravity Alpha and G on Gravity L1 likewise occupy different networks. (help.galxe.com)

Regulatory & Compliance

Rules affecting G depend on the jurisdiction and the service involved. In the European Union, the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation, or MiCA, sets rules for crypto-asset services and requires providers offering covered services to meet authorization requirements. In the United States, the treatment of a crypto asset or a related transaction depends on its features and the circumstances in which it is offered and used. Galxe Passport also gives partner applications identity checks that can support their own compliance processes. (esma.europa.eu)

Shariah analysis considers both a token’s purpose and the way it is used. G’s stated roles include paying for network transactions and digital services, as well as governance. Islamic-finance scholars who regard digital assets as permissible in principle still assess particular activities, especially interest-based lending and gambling, separately. Galxe’s service-payment uses therefore provide a different basis for assessment from any financial arrangement a holder might enter into with the token. (galxe.com)

Future Outlook

Gravity L1 gives Galxe a network for its on-chain rewards and applications as the older Alpha network is phased out. The team’s stated direction brings campaigns, identity checks, analytics, and reward distribution closer together. Its longer-term role will depend on how effectively projects use those tools together and whether users find the combined experience easy to follow. (galxe.com)

For the token, the key development is already clear: G carries the functions once associated with GAL while also paying for activity on Gravity. Future growth in Galxe’s products could create more ways to use that shared token across the platform and its blockchain. (galxe.com)

Summary

Galxe began as a Web3 credential network and grew into a set of tools for quests, identity, reputation, and community rewards. GAL was its original token; the project moved its utility to Gravity’s G token at a 1:60 conversion rate. Understanding Galxe today means seeing both parts together: applications that recognize user activity and a blockchain that supports their on-chain operations. (medium.com)
