This latest venture, known as REP, is a social media network with an already functioning prototype that will run on the GalaChain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gala Games has said that they want their GalaChain to be home to more than just the games and apps from the Gala portfolio. And with this latest announcement it seems they are well on their way to making that a reality!<\/p>\n<p>Gala Games has announced a partnership with REP, a social media network, to bring their app and its entire ecosystem over to GalaChain! And as part of that, there will be REP Nodes, run by individuals around the world to support the REP system. In fact, the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.gala.games\/nodes\/rep\/buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REP Nodes are already for sale<\/a> with a starting price of 1.225 ETH (or the equivalent in GALA tokens) for the first Nodes.<\/p>\n<p>Gala Games is already leaning heavily into distributed computing for their games as well as their film and music projects. So it\u2019s no surprise that REP would have user owned nodes of their own as well! Node owners will earn rewards for keeping their node up and active.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1427757143\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"43521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><picture><source sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-1024x576.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-1536x864.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6.jpg.webp 1920w\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is REP?<\/h2>\n<p>REP bills itself as a \u2018Super Twitter\u2019, giving users the option of posting short, Twitter-type messages, as well as longer articles. They also plan to allow the creation of private social networks. <\/p>\n<p>On top of that, REP also uses geolocation and augmented reality features to create a treasure hunt style game where users can both create and join in on the hunts themselves. REP even wants to gameify the sign-up process, making new users locate treasure chests that contain codes to unlock the app.<\/p>\n<p>REP includes personal profile pages for all users with unique URLs and various widget options \u2014 a sort of digital, one stop, business card. Users will also be able to setup personalized marketplaces within their profile<\/p>\n<p>REP promises to not collect data from users, and also promises to remain ad-free. They will manage this by releasing their own token on GalaChain called REPS. Some examples of potential REPS use-cases include creating private networks, amplifying the visibility of posts, purchasing nodes, and adding special widgets to a profile.<\/p>\n<p>Now I should clarify and state that REP will be hosted on GalaChain, not actually run by Gala Games. REP is a third-party developer. But, I do imagine that this will be a pretty close partnership. The REP platform is already mostly built, the work comes with putting it onto the GalaChain<\/p>\n<p>REP will integrate with Gala Games though a \u2018Gala Friends\u2019 feature, allowing players to easily connect to each other.<\/p>\n<p>You can read the <a href=\"https:\/\/rep.run\/documents\/visionpapera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official REP Vision paper<\/a> for more information and details.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7.jpg\" data-slb-active=\"1\" data-slb-asset=\"1226392688\" data-slb-internal=\"0\" data-slb-group=\"43521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><picture><source sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1024x525.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-300x154.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-768x394.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1536x787.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7.jpg.webp 1844w\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43537 lazyload\" data-eio=\"p\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1024x525.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1536x787.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7.jpg 1844w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"1024\" data-eio-rheight=\"525\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7-1536x787.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-2-7.jpg 1844w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-eio=\"l\"\/><\/noscript><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More About Gala Games<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playtoearn.online\/visit\/gala-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gala Games<\/a>\u00a0is a blockchain ecosystem for web3 games.
