GalaSwap lists four more tokens as GalaChain listing pace holds

In Brief:

• Gala listed ESTG, CVX, AI and COW on GalaSwap, the decentralized exchange running on GalaChain.
• The additions follow a June 29 batch of eight tokens and extend a cross-chain push backed by a $2 million ecosystem incentive program.
• GalaSwap had processed 476,000 transactions and more than $72 million in total volume as of March, with more than 60 tokens supported.

Gala listed four more tokens on GalaSwap, adding ESTG, CVX, AI and COW, the company said in a post on X. Users can trade the pairs through links.gala.com/swap.

The additions continue a listing cadence Gala has kept up through most of 2026, typically four to eight tickers at a time. On June 29 the exchange added FET, AAVE, ARB, ONDO, CRV, ETHFI, JTO and GRASS. Earlier rounds brought in MOCA, IOTX, AXL, JUPUSD and USAT.

Listings tied to the bridge push

Gala Swap supported more than 60 tokens as of March 24, and the company said that count would keep growing as new assets arrive on the network. Built-in bridges routed through Gala Connect reach Ethereum, Solana and TON.

That interoperability work is backed by a $2 million ecosystem incentive program aimed at driving activity on GalaSwap and GalaPump. The stated goal is to position GalaChain as a general utility chain with cross-chain liquidity rather than a gaming-only network.

Volume and fees

Gala reported 476,000 transactions and more than $72 million in cumulative volume in a March 19 post. DefiLlama tracks the protocol at $10.8 million in total value locked and roughly $1.9 million in annualized fees, with TVL down about 5%.

Pools charge a protocol fee of 0.05%, 0.3% or 1% depending on the tier, plus a network fee paid in GALA. The exchange uses concentrated liquidity, and any GalaChain token with a deployed contract can be paired into a pool by a user.

Why the swap count matters for GALA

Every transaction on GalaChain consumes GALA as gas, and 100% of gas fees are permanently removed from supply. On April 30, GalaChain approved a new tokenomics model by community vote that adds protocol fee-sharing and permanent burns funded by a portion of network fees. Implementation of the disinflationary model was slated for the second quarter of 2026.

The model ties burns to actual on-chain activity, which makes swap throughput a direct input to supply. Emissions run dynamically at 0.25% of the difference between total supply and max supply, a rate set in August 2024.

Demand-side items have landed alongside it. GalaChain partnered with China’s government-backed Trusted Copyright Chain through Shrapnel (official site) in an arrangement announced around April 30, opening a compliant path for NFT trading in RMB and requiring GALA as gas on every cross-chain NFT transfer.

Background

Gala launched GalaSwap in February 2024 as the first decentralized exchange built on GalaChain. At the time it handled trading between Ethereum-based tokens inside the Gala ecosystem, a much narrower set than the catalogue it carries now.

The interface is operated by GDEX LLC and never takes custody of user funds. Swaps and liquidity actions are signed from the user’s own wallet and executed by the GalaChain DEX contract.

GalaPump, a launchpad hosted on Gala Connect, went live in December 2025 and lets creators deploy tokens on GalaChain in minutes. It accounts for a share of the tickers that keep turning up in the listing announcements.

More than 9,000 token classes have been created on GalaChain and nearly 6 million NFTs minted, across more than 28 million blocks.
