Why you should listen

Gallaxia is a gaming and entertainment studio built on its own blockchain infrastructure, designed so that gamers, creators, and community members can hold shared ownership in the ecosystem. The project positions this model as an alternative to traditional centralized publishers, with its blockchain serving as the underlying system for game assets, rewards, and participation rights.

James says it has brought on 50 co-owners made up of professional gamers and digital creators. Collectively, these creators are said to have an audience reach of over 200 million followers and more than 30 billion total video views across their channels. Gallaxia presents this creator network as a built-in distribution and engagement engine for the games and products developed within the ecosystem.

Gallaxia is developing a suite of games, including a location-based mobile title involving treasure hunting and extraction-style gameplay, a hyper-casual game called One Pixel, and additional console and PC titles planned for future release. The ecosystem also includes the Gallaxium Bar, a digital asset that grants holders co-ownership rights and a share of proceeds generated by Gallaxia's games and related products, alongside a native token used within the platform.
