Galachain, Through Landmark Shrapnel Partnership, Secures Access To China's Trusted Copyright Chain

600 M-Gamer On-Ramp: GalaChain Secures TCC Access, Expands Gala Utility, and Welcomes Shrapnel

Gala today announced GalaChain's position as the first foreign blockchain to collaborate with China's Trusted Copyright Chain (TCC), a breakthrough that gives roughly 600 million gamers a cross-border path to NFTs in the world's largest gaming market. Development of the cross-border bridge starts immediately, with full public launch targeted in Q1 2026.

Key Highlights

• Regulatory first: The bridge will be compliant with Chinese laws and regulations, including registration of NFTs inside China, unlocking a compliant path to ≈ 600 million gamers.
• Economic flywheel: Shrapnel assets moving between China and the rest of the world consume $GALA, with an on-chain dashboard to display usage.
• Shrapnel may use up to 10 percent of China's revenue for periodic $SHRAP repurchases on GalaChain to support ecosystem health, subject to market and regulatory conditions.
• Scaling GalaChain: Shrapnel network fees are powered by $GALA, materially expanding GalaChain ecosystem activity.
• Influencer alignment: Built-in invitation links (邀请链接) and invitation NFTs (邀请凭证) let Chinese content creators verify every wallet activation, badge claim, or play-test entry they facilitate. Each qualifying action consumes GALA, updates a public on-chain counter, and lets contributors pick up rewards.
• Developer momentum: AAA extraction shooter Shrapnel is migrating its entire economy from Avalanche to GalaChain. By moving its economy to GalaChain, Shrapnel gains faster finality, gas-efficient infrastructure with instant China compliance.
• Community participation: Community participation: A free commemorative Bridge Badge NFT will be dropped to all Gala wallets and Neon players, and a 72-hour public claim window welcomes newcomers. The badge guarantees first-wave Shrapnel play-test slots and becomes the first NFT mirrored on TCC.
