Gala is creating entertainment that empowers on the blockchain. Across our family of brands, including Games, Music, Film, and VOX, we're empowering creators and fans to build the future of entertainment.
Powered by talent from around the globe, we believe in making bold moves to create products that have never been seen in the marketplace.

Since then, Gala has grown to be a leader in Web3 entertainment.
Under the Gala brand, we have a growing roster of reputable partners across Gaming and Entertainment, including DreamWorks, AMC, and NBCU. Plus, legendary game developers Peter Molyneux and Will Wright and music greats like Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Kings of Leon, and BT.
