1. What is Galxe?

• Galxe is a Web3 credential data network. Built on open and collaborative infrastructure, Galxe helps Web3 developers and projects leverage digital credential data and NFTs to build better products and communities.

• Credential data today are segregated across closed databases that are owned and permissioned by applications and institutions. This has led to a fractured landscape that is not open to the individuals who should own that data or the applications that need it. Galxe aims to solve this problem by empowering developers with an aggregated credential data network in Web3.

• Galxe’s infrastructure supports curators contributing credentials through multiple data sources, including:

  • For on-chain credentials, curators can contribute data from 7 different chains with subgraph queries or wallet snapshots

  • For off-chain credentials, curators can easily contribute credential data with Galxe’s integrated data sources such as Twitter, Github, or Discord

• Galxe also provides Application Modules, the Credential Oracle Engine, and the Credential API for data consumers to leverage credentials.

  • Use cases of the Application Modules include, among other benefits, Galxe OATs (On-chain Achievement Tokens), NFT loyalty programs, growth hacking campaigns, gated community and customized governance.

  • Developers can also utilize the Credential Oracle Engine and Credential API for enhanced customized use cases such as credit scoring and sybil attack prevention algorithms.

• Galxe ID: Users can display the credentials collected in the Web3 world and showcase the history of their achievements and contributions. Currently, there are more than 4.8 million users registered for Galxe ID.

• More than 800 protocols and organizations are currently using Galxe’s credential data network and application modules. In total, Galxe has launched more than 5000 marketing campaigns and loyalty programs. More than 1.5 million credential-based NFTs are minted every month, based on data on official website.

• Galxe OAT (On-Chain Achievement Token): OAT is a creative solution to distribute credential-based badges to communities as a record of participation. It is a lightweight NFT module created by Galxe that enables users to mint in a gasless fashion.

• Chain-Agnostic Credential Network: Galxe infrastructure is currently aggregating credentials through 7 different chains (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana, Fantom, Arbitrum, Avalanche), and has integrated multiple sources such as Twitter, Discord, Github. Galxe currently has more than 6600 credential data sets curated in the network, covering more than 4 million wallet addresses in Web3.

• Earn from curating data: Curators will earn revenue streams when the data they curate is utilized in Galxe’s Application Modules, Credential Oracle Engine, and Credential API. This creates a network effect because as more credential data flows into the system, the more developers will onboard to utilize such data, and in turn incentivize more curators to contribute credentials.

• Incentivized Curation System leveraging GAL staking: Curators are incentivized to stake GAL tokens to signal a credential data set’s value. Each credential data set will include a revenue stream that will be split between credential stakeholders’ pro-rata. In the future, GAL stakers can also enjoy long-term benefits when using Galxe’s Application Modules.
