Abstract:

In response to evolving market dynamics and community feedback, this proposal presents a strategic initiative to upgrade GAL’s existing token smart contract. This proposal also suggests transitioning the token symbol from GAL to G within the Galxe ecosystem. I believe the proposed changes are needed in order for GAL to strengthen its brand identity, eliminate confusion in the crypto marketplace, and bolster community engagement. If this proposal were to be adopted by the community, the Galxe team would be incentivized to work with various constituents within the Galxe ecosystem to come up with a comprehensive plan detailing timelines, technical roadmaps, and adjustments to tokenomics.

Motivation:

The motivation for proposing this initiative is driven by both strategic imperatives and market considerations applicable to the Galxe ecosystem:

• Simplified Brand Identity: Adopting a single-letter symbol, ‘G’, is grounded in the aspiration for a more streamlined and instantly recognizable brand presence. By embracing this simplicity, it could enhance the community’s visibility and differentiate Galxe amidst a crowded digital asset landscape.

• Resolving Brand Confusion: The current token symbol, GAL, creates confusion among stakeholders, leads to potential misassociations and transactional errors. Transitioning to ‘G’ would represent a definitive step towards clarity, reducing the likelihood of brand dilution and enhancing user experience.

• Community and Market Clarity: Cohesive branding is key to fostering a sense of belonging and trust. By adopting a distinct token symbol, it would strengthen a distinct sense of belonging amongst all community members while facilitating the onboarding of new participants across diverse platforms and web3 experiences.

• Preparation for Future Growth: I believe that updating the token symbol reflects a proactive stance towards aligning the ecosystem’s branding strategy with future expansions and integrations within the crypto space. This includes, with the community’s approval, potential tokenomics changes and adapting for future utilities.

Specification:

Overview:

The proposed upgrade includes comprehensive modifications to the existing token smart contract and adoption of a new token symbol, ‘G’. These changes are proposed to achieve a paradigm shift in the community’s brand identity and market positioning.

Scope:

This initiative encompasses a spectrum of technical enhancements, coordination efforts with strategic ecosystem members, and planning to ensure a smooth transition process. Key aspects include codebase modifications, tokenomics adjustments, and communication strategies tailored to diverse stakeholder groups.

Success Criteria:

The success of this proposal can be measured through tangible metrics such as improved brand recognition, heightened market visibility, reduced instances of brand confusion, and enhanced community engagement.

Timeline/Budget:

If this proposal were to be approved, a roadmap detailed the phased implementation of the token symbol change and smart contract upgrade would be defined, designed, and implemented by members of the community. Working with community members participating in the proposal is crucial to ensure that technical development roadmap, marketing initiatives, and stakeholder engagement are transparently communicated within the Galxe ecosystem.

Comments from Galxe Team:

Galxe Team has reviewed this proposal and suggested to add the following additions:

• Converting the GAL token to G token on a 1:60 basis. Meaning every 1 GAL token will grant the holder 60 G tokens.
• The total supply of G token will be changed to 12,000,000,000 tokens, which is a 60x multiplier of the current total GAL token total supply of 200,000,000.
