            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The initial phase with SEED-2-$FLORA.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*FEhzr_qJ5CE06KkmvAHaew.png" /></figure><h3>SEED-2-$FLORA</h3><p>The initial GalaChain Node Network launch starts with the SEED-2-$FLORA model and it prioritizes community engagement and fairness. By rewarding participants during the 90-day SEED phase, the model ensures that those who contribute early to the ecosystem are <strong>recognized and rewarded</strong>.</p><h3>How SEED-2-$FLORA Works?</h3><h4>Phase 1: SEED Points Accumulation</h4><p>During the first 90 days, each online Node will earn <strong>1 SEED per day and the $FLORA token is accumulated in the SEED-2-$FLORA pool.</strong></p><p>Those who will accumulate SEEDs will get access to the SEED-2-$FLORA pool and those who won&#39;t accumulate any SEEDs will get standard daily distribution.</p><p><strong>After this 90-day SEED phase, the $FLORA token is created and listed on exchanges.</strong></p><blockquote><strong>The more SEEDs collected, the greater the share of $FLORA pool you will earn.</strong></blockquote><h4>$FLORA Pool Accumulation For SEED Holders:</h4><p>The SEED-2-$FLORA pool shown below, which would typically have been distributed during the 90-day initial phase, is allocated proportionally based on the SEED points accumulated by each participant.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/868/1*3rDzjqIWT1CO16obs50RYQ.png" /><figcaption>$FLORA pool accumulation during the phase 1</figcaption></figure><p>In other words, the SEED-2-$FLORA is a transition mechanism that bridges early adopters with long-term utility. SEED points serve as a temporary placeholder for rewards during the ecosystem’s initial phases, forming early adoption and community growth.</p><p><strong>Once $FLORA is launched, these SEEDs translate into proportional shares of the $FLORA pool, ensuring fair rewards for early supporters.</strong></p><h3>Phase 2: $FLORA Token Live</h3><h4><strong>$FLORA Distribution:</strong></h4><p>In phase 2, the SEED-2-$FLORA pool is distributed over another 90-day period, ensuring a gradual and fair distribution. At the same time the standard $FLORA daily distribution starts.</p><h4>SEED-2-$FLORA Pool Distribution For The SEED Holders:</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/876/1*TacA6xZw1RwT8sKLeo_-pg.png" /><figcaption>$FLORA distribution from the SEED-2-$FLORA pool after the TGE</figcaption></figure><h4>Standards $FLORA Distribution Model For Active Nodes:</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/868/1*pzuEK_LjXnjHABJZjtp9Nw.png" /><figcaption>The $FLORA distribution for active nodes pool over 3,650 days with 190M allocation with burning excluded</figcaption></figure><h4>The SEED-2-$FLORA Pool Together With The Standards $FLORA Distribution during 90 days After The Token Generation Event.</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/878/1*QBgtQX-77aEuisessy5gGw.png" /><figcaption>90-day period distribution from the $FLORA pool together with activated Node rewards</figcaption></figure><h3><strong>Decentralized Exchange:</strong></h3><p>Following the first 3 months, the Token Generation Event will hit and the $FLORA token will enter the market on a decentralized exchange.</p><h3><strong>Centralized Exchange:</strong></h3><p>We expect to soon make its way to 3 (maybe 4) centralized exchanges, as highlighted in <a href="https://x.com/Benefactor0101/status/1867374875796812228">Benefactor’s public announcemen</a>t to support the GalaChain projects, in his recent X post. 🚀</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*kgKYLPmheJ4SPwLVg7K7vg.png" /><figcaption>Benefactor&#39;s post on X from Dec 12th, 2024</figcaption></figure><h3>Get Ready to Launch!</h3><p>The MetaFlora Node network has been live since January 23rd.

It is a measure that indicates how two assets move in relation to each other over time.</p><h3><strong>Why is correlation useful?</strong></h3><p><strong>Strategic Decision-Making — </strong>If you notice a strong positive correlation between two assets, you might avoid investing heavily in both, as they are likely to respond similarly to market events or you can use this correlated relationship between two assets and by following both assets’ charts you can more effectively predict the price reactions.</p><p><strong>Risk Management — </strong>Including assets with low or negative correlations can reduce overall risk.</p><p><strong>Portfolio Diversification — </strong>By owning cryptocurrencies with varying degrees of correlation, you can create a more balanced and resilient portfolio that is less sensitive to market volatility.</p><p><strong>Hedging — </strong>Traders can use correlation to hedge their positions. By taking opposing positions in strongly or negatively correlated assets, you can protect your portfolio from adverse price movements.</p><h3><strong>How to read it</strong></h3><p><strong>Strong Positive Correlation (+0.7 to +1.0) — </strong>Cryptocurrencies with this correlation move in the same direction.</p><p><strong>Weak Correlation (-0.3 to +0.3) — </strong>Cryptocurrencies with weak or no correlation move independently, meaning their prices don’t significantly influence each other.

I selected a few specific cryptocurrencies to better predict price movements for my favorite token. For example, if the price of one or two strongly correlated tokens approaches a significant supply zone while my preferred token’s supply zone is still further off, I might anticipate a reaction in my token sooner than traditional technical analysis would suggest.

The purpose of this proposal is to establish fee mechanisms for burning GALA in order to allow their reminting as a reward for the operation of Gala’s Founders Nodes (FN). Although zero gas may appear to be an ideal solution, it may demotivate the long-term operation of the decentralized Node network required for the blockchain.</p><p>The following list of fees is proposed to ensure a stable and predictable environment for Founders Nodes operators, as well as to maintain the network at a very low cost, which is ideal for third-party applications and anyone who wishes to use <a href="https://www.galachain.com">GalaChain</a> advantages.</p><h4><strong>Proposal Discussion</strong></h4><p>The GalaChain Fee proposal discussion was initiated on 16th August 2024 by the former president of blockchain at GALA, Jason Bring AKA BitBender from LFG incorporated. This article continues the previous discussion of the proposal, <a href="https://medium.com/@rocketunitr8/galachain-fee-proposal-discussion-81ffd580b53d">click here for more info</a>.</p><p>To join the <a href="https://t.co/xeIpM05jkV">LFG Discord click here</a>.</p><h3>📜 GalaChain Fee List Overview</h3><p>Here is a list of fees for GalaChain that I propose:</p><blockquote><strong>IPFS Storage Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>IPFS Pinning Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Micro-Fee System:</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>New Token Minting Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Bridging Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>New Wallet Creation Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Download Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>On-Chain Nickname Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>New Channel Voting Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>MAU Success Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Airdrop Fee</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>Rapid Transaction Burst Fee</strong></blockquote><h3>✅ Expected Outcomes</h3><p><strong>Spam prevention</strong></p><p>With the introduction of fees, we should also see a positive impact on transaction spam prevention.</p><p><strong>New Token Minting Fee</strong></p><p>A small fee could be charged for creating new tokens. This fee would reduce scam and spam tokens by making it less attractive to create a large number of random tokens.</p><p><strong>New Channel Proposals</strong></p><p>Creating GalaChain channels should be reduced by at least a little so that there aren’t thousands of useless channels. Founders Node owners as people with governance votes can decide if a channel should be deployed or not and a fee for a Node vote for getting a channel could help reduce a vote count from nonsensical numbers to more reasonable numbers.</p><p><strong>Long-term prosperity</strong></p><p>There is no smart chain network without financial incentives for operators of validator nodes. By setting up a fee structure, we can create a network where users are unaware of any fees applied, while also achieving long-term incentives to operate validator nodes.</p><p><strong>More decentralized IPFS Storage</strong></p><p>With Gala’s plan to build a DCDN (<em>Decentralized Content</em> Delivery Network) that will be run also by Founders Nodes, the operators should have a financial incentive to improve the data decentralization and the DCDN performance with new fees.</p><h3>🔬Detailed GalaChain Fee List</h3><ol><li><strong>Rapid Transaction Burst Fee:</strong> We should see a positive impact on spam prevention with this fee. A dynamic transaction fee model could be implemented to target accounts exhibiting suspicious behavior, such as rapid transaction bursts. The fee would scale exponentially based on the severity of the behavior.</li><li><strong>Airdrop Fee:</strong> Airdrops are a common marketing tool, and FN operators should be rewarded when an airdrop occurs on GalaChain’s main channel. The fee could be set at the equivalent of 7 days of FN distributions or $200 in GALA if the GALA equivalent has a lower value.</li><li><strong>Micro-Fee System:</strong> A micro-fee system could be implemented where minimal gas fees are collected and pooled in the background, without impacting individual transactions. Transactions would remain free until the Play &amp; Earn (P&amp;E) effect kicks in, after which a small fee, such as $0.001 per transaction, could be deducted from the user’s earning on-chain activity.</li><li><strong>Bridging Fee:</strong> Micro-gas fees could be applied for bridging transactions between different chains, with a suggested fee of $0.001 per transaction. These fees would be collected in the background, ensuring no disruption to users.</li><li><strong>New Wallet Creation Fee:</strong> When a new wallet is created, it could incur a small debt to the network. The first receiving transaction to this wallet would automatically pay off this debt, set at $0.01.</li><li><strong>Download Fee:</strong> Each time content is downloaded from a FN, a debt could be incurred by the downloading wallet. This debt, equal to $0.1, would be paid after minting/receiving P&amp;E or other rewards to the wallet.</li><li><strong>On-Chain Nickname Fee:</strong> Users could pay a fee to change their on-chain nickname to a unique ID, making their address more recognizable (e.g., “MetaFlora_Treasury”). The suggested fee for this service could be $0.10.</li><li><strong>New Token Minting Fee:</strong> A small fee of GALA could be charged for creating new tokens on the Gala Creator Platform. This fee would help reduce spam by making it less attractive to create irrelevant tokens.</li><li><strong>New Channel Voting Fee:</strong> To propose a new channel creation, a vote could be deployed on Gala’s Node Dashboard at a cost of $500 in GALA. The fee would be burned after the vote concludes.</li><li><strong>MAU Success Fee:</strong> If a specific GalaChain address interacts with a channel’s smart contracts for three consecutive months, it indicates a level of demand or success. FN could be rewarded in such cases, with each active address contributing $0.01–0.05 per month. This fee would be deducted from the reward stream (e.g. P&amp;E rewards) unless the address never becomes financially active, in which case no fee would be charged.</li><li><strong>IPFS Storage Fee:</strong> To reward FN operators for hosting IPFS data, a fee structure could be introduced. Users could pay a gas fee for additional copies of their data beyond the default settings or for faster download speeds.</li><li><strong>IPFS Pinning Fee:</strong> GalaChain could offer data pinning on FN nodes for a fee, ensuring long-term availability. This fee could cover 4–10 years of storage before another pin would be necessary.</li></ol><h3>🗳️ Governance and Voting</h3><p>This proposal should be subject to a governance vote, requiring majority approval from Founder’s Node operators.</p><p>The voting period should last at least one week, ensuring enough time for all operators to participate and voice their opinions.</p><h3>About Rocket Unit 🚀</h3><p><em>I’m one of you.

This mechanism entails:</blockquote><blockquote><strong>- A few free transactions per wallet</strong> (potentially given periodically or at Gala’s will)</blockquote><blockquote><strong>- A base cost for a transaction</strong> once the free calls are used</blockquote><blockquote><strong>- An acceleration rate</strong> that multiplies the cost of a transaction for a wallet, based on its previous activity.</blockquote><p>Lukabylie is discussing also a few “Arguments Against His Proposal” Where I agree with his belief.</p><blockquote>I personally believe that projects are necessary to drive activity on the chain and thus increase burn. Creating unnecessary friction for them will have a negative long-term effect on burns.</blockquote><p><strong>In the next part we are going to take a look at Lukabylie’s additional 3 considerations &amp; questions regarding the individual scaling fee:</strong></p><ul><li>In the first part “<strong>Established users</strong>”, where he means Established Channels (Gala and affiliated projects e.g.: Spider Tanks) I don’t think this area should take part in this discussion because established channels have their own Node Networks and <strong>the free market should take care of this by itself.</strong></li><li>Regarding Lukabylie’s consideration of “<strong>Prioritization of transactions</strong>” I think there is nothing to consider if we incorporate a functional antispam system which is proposed in this article below.</li><li>Regarding Lukabylie’s consideration of “<strong>Bypassing the system</strong>” I think that multiaccounting is a normal feature of each network. Everyone can have more email addresses or Ethereum wallets. I would rather let the free market solve this problem on each project level than try to solve it systematically on the blockchain level.</li></ul><h4>Lukabylie’s shorter c<strong>ounter proposal:</strong></h4><blockquote><strong>- There shouldn’t be any free transaction.</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>- There shouldn’t be any individual scaling.</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>- Galachain should use a fee schedule similar to Ethereum’s or Solana’s based</strong> on computational use, storage use, overall congestion &amp; individual prioritization.</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*fnv4dcxECtnGeUZLPnnwOw.png" /><figcaption>GalaChain Fee proposal by Rocket Unit | Banner</figcaption></figure><p>Jason Brink aka BitBender mentioned in the <a href="https://x.com/BitBenderBrink/status/1824636898050183625"><strong>X pos</strong></a><strong>t </strong>that we should follow this list so we can come up with a solution.

Seamless User Experience</h4><p><strong>1.1 Maintaining a Smooth Flow:</strong> BitBender emphasizes that gas fees should never interfere with user experience on GalaChain. The system must ensure that transactions and operations remain smooth and uninterrupted.</p><p><strong>1.2 IPFS Storage Fee:</strong> To reward Founders Nodes (FN) operators for hosting IPFS data, a fee structure could be introduced. Users could pay a gas fee for additional copies of their data beyond the default settings or for faster download speeds.</p><p><strong>1.3 IPFS Pinning Fee:</strong> GalaChain could offer data pinning on FN nodes for a fee, ensuring long-term availability. This fee could cover 4–10 years of storage before another pin would be necessary.</p><p><strong>1.4 Micro-Fee System:</strong> A micro-fee system could be implemented where minimal gas fees are collected and pooled in the background, without impacting individual transactions. Transactions would remain free until the Play &amp; Earn (P&amp;E) effect kicks in, after which a small fee, such as $0.001 per transaction, could be deducted from the user’s earning on-chain activity.</p><p><strong>1.5 Ad-Based Revenue Model:</strong> An ad-based revenue model could be introduced, where advertisers pay to have their content displayed through an auction system. The fees generated from this model could be burned, and ads could appear on GalaChain Analytics, GalaChain Browser, and GalaSwap.</p><p><strong>1.6 New Token Minting Fee:</strong> A small fee in $GALA could be charged for creating new tokens on the Gala Creator Platform. This fee would help reduce spam by making it less attractive to create irrelevant tokens.</p><p><strong>1.7 Bridging Fee:</strong> Micro-gas fees could be applied for bridging transactions between different chains, with a suggested fee of $0.001 per transaction. These fees would be collected in the background, ensuring no disruption to users.</p><p><strong>1.8 New Wallet Creation Fee:</strong> When a new wallet is created, it could incur a small debt to the network. The first receiving transaction to this wallet would automatically pay off this debt, set at $0.01.</p><p><strong>1.9 Download Fee:</strong> Each time a content is downloaded from a FN, a debt could be incurred by the downloading wallet. This debt, equal to $0.1, would be paid after minting/receiving P&amp;E or other rewards to the wallet.</p><p><strong>1.10 On-Chain Nickname Fee:</strong> Users could pay a fee to change their on-chain nickname to a unique ID, making their address more recognizable (e.g., “MetaFlora_Treasury”). The suggested fee for this service could be $0.10.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*tpiXEtPYGS0fpg4dMsSsrg.png" /><figcaption>GalaChain Channel Operator Control | Banner</figcaption></figure><p><strong>2.1 Empowering Channel Operators:</strong> BitBender insists that the power to adjust gas fees should rest with the channel operators, not Gala. Even if Gala has the technical capability, the control over fees must remain exclusively with the channel operators, empowering them to manage their channels effectively.</p><p><strong>2.2 New Channel Voting Fee:</strong> To propose a new channel creation, a vote could be deployed on Gala’s Node Dashboard at a cost of $500 in $GALA. The fee would be burned after the vote concludes.</p><p><strong>2.3 MAU Success Fee:</strong> If a specific GalaChain address interacts with a channel’s smart contracts for three consecutive months, it indicates a level of demand or success. FN could be rewarded in such cases, with each active address contributing $0.01-0.05 per month. This fee would be deducted from the reward stream (e.g., P&amp;E rewards) unless the address never becomes financially active, in which case no fee would be charged.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*XVMHw_V4mkItS18RNr_u2w.png" /><figcaption>GalaChain Preventing Spam | Banner</figcaption></figure><p><strong>3.1 Smart Gas Fees:</strong> According to BitBender, gas fees should be smart and responsive, acting as a deterrent to unwanted behavior on the chain. This approach would help keep spam and other disruptive activities in check.</p><p><strong>3.2 Airdrop Fee:</strong> Airdrops are a common marketing tool, and FN operators should be rewarded when an airdrop occurs on GalaChain’s main channel. The fee could be set at the equivalent of 7 days of FN distributions or $200 in $GALA if the $GALA equivalent has a lower value.</p><p><strong>3.3 Rapid Transaction Burst Fee:</strong> A dynamic transaction fee model could be implemented to target accounts exhibiting suspicious behavior, such as rapid transaction bursts. The fee would scale exponentially based on the severity of the behavior.</p><p><strong>3.4 Reputation Scoring System:</strong> A reputation scoring system could be introduced to control fee per action unit. Participants with higher reputations would enjoy more relaxed rate limits, while those with lower scores might face higher costs or restrictions. This system would require robust monitoring to prevent abuse.</p><p><strong>3.5 Verification Measures:</strong> For bulk transactions, users might be required to perform additional verification, such as 2FA, email confirmation, or CAPTCHA, for each portion of the action. These requirements could be relaxed for users with higher reputations or trusted nodes.</p><p><strong>3.6 Time-Locked Actions:</strong> To prevent spammy behavior, a time-lock could be imposed between mass actions. After submitting a bulk transaction, users would need to wait a few seconds or minutes before submitting another. This delay would allow the reputation system to assess the user’s behavior.</p><p><strong>3.7 Legit Stake System:</strong> To perform mass actions, users could be required to stake a certain amount of $GALA. If the action is flagged as spammy or malicious, the stake could be locked and potentially burned. Legitimate actions would see the stake returned. The stake amount could increase based on network activity levels.</p><p><strong>3.8 Honey Trap Accounts:</strong> Honey trap accounts could be set up to appear vulnerable, attracting spammers. Once these accounts are targeted, the spammers would be quickly identified and blocked from the network.</p><p><strong>3.9 Anomaly Detection:</strong> AI models could be used to detect and flag unusual patterns of behavior indicative of spamming. Once flagged, the system could throttle or temporarily block the user, pending further investigation. While this approach would adapt to new spamming techniques, it would require ongoing model training and could be costly.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*GIe3dfI5GqHiedBzrRsjZA.png" /><figcaption>GalaChain Decentralized Oracle | Banner</figcaption></figure><p><strong>4.1 Fully Decentralized Oracle System:</strong> As BitBender notes, if gas prices are tied to a fiat value, the oracle determining this must be fully decentralized. A system with no single point of failure or control is crucial for maintaining trust and reliability.</p><p><strong>4.2 Layered Oracle Architecture:</strong> A multi-layer oracle system could be implemented, where the first layer collects raw price data, and subsequent layers aggregate, validate, and cross-check this data before it reaches the final price feed.</p><p><strong>4.3 DEX Price Feeds:</strong> Using decentralized exchange (DEX) price feeds could enhance the reliability of fiat price data, aligning with the decentralized nature of GalaChain.</p><p><strong>4.4 Data Consensus Mechanism:</strong> A network of decentralized oracles could be established, with each oracle operated by independent entities. These oracles would submit price data, which would then be validated through a consensus mechanism. A dispute resolution process could automatically trigger auto reevaluation if conflicts are detected.</p><p><strong>4.5 Oracle Staking &amp; Reputation System:</strong> Oracles could be required to stake tokens as collateral, with the risk of slashing if they submit inaccurate or manipulated data. This system would incentivize accurate reporting and keep away bad actors. Additionally, a reputation system could be established, where oracles with a history of providing accurate data gain more influence in the consensus process.</p><p><strong>4.6 Cross-Chain Oracle Integration:</strong> Integrating oracles from multiple blockchains could enhance decentralization and redundancy, providing a more robust and reliable oracle system for GalaChain.</p><h3>About Rocket Unit</h3><p><em>I’m one of you.
