GalaChain plans to transform into a decentralized platform through a four-stage roadmap to increase scalability and attract developers from various industries.
According to Gala News, GalaChain is embarking on a revolutionary journey towards full decentralization. The blockchain platform has released a decentralization whitepaper outlining a comprehensive four-step roadmap designed to transform GalaChain from a centralized model to a decentralized model.
Decentralization: A fundamental change
Initially, GalaChain’s centralized infrastructure was pivotal in scaling layer 1 blockchains, providing the robustness needed to support external developers in the gaming, music, and film industries. However, with scalability and efficiency now achieved, GalaChain is ready to embrace decentralized frameworks.
The transition will be made through Hyperledger Fabric, and GalaChain’s consensus mechanism will gradually move from Raft to Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT). These changes are expected to maintain the platform’s transaction throughput at up to 1500 transactions per second (TPS) while enhancing security and fault tolerance.
4-step roadmap
The decentralization process consists of four main steps:
- Step 1: Migrate to BFT consensus for increased security and decentralization.
- Step 2: Global distribution of nodes and orderers to optimize speed and security.
- Step 3: Integration with the Gala founder’s node strengthens its role in transaction verification.
- Step 4: Implementation of the GalaChain Improvement Proposal (GIP) system to enable decentralized governance.
Strengthening the capabilities of developers and creators
Decentralization is not just a technological advancement. This represents a shift towards empowerment and freedom. By eliminating centralized authority, GalaChain aims to create a trustless system that allows participants from different regions and industries to contribute to governance and growth without intermediaries.
This transition creates a developer-first environment, giving creators more control over their projects, from smart contracts to operational governance. GalaChain’s decentralized infrastructure will open up new opportunities across a variety of sectors, including finance, healthcare, and supply chain management.
Commitment to Open Innovation
This evolution is more than just a technical upgrade for GalaChain. This is a commitment to open innovation. The decentralized ecosystem aims to be borderless, inclusive, and industry-agnostic, welcoming developers and industries from all over the world.
As GalaChain progresses through its decentralization roadmap, the community is expected to grow as we build the future of decentralized innovation together. For more information, you can access the full decentralization whitepaper on the Gala News website.
