**GalaChain, Through Landmark Shrapnel Partnership, Secures Access to China’s Trusted Copyright Chain**
In a groundbreaking move, GalaChain has secured access to China’s Trusted Copyright Chain (TCC) through its strategic partnership with Shrapnel. This landmark collaboration opens the doors for roughly 600 million gamers in China to seamlessly interact with NFTs and other digital assets.
The partnership aims to develop a cross-border bridge that will kick-start immediately, with a planned public launch slated for Q1 2026. The move is seen as a significant breakthrough, allowing GalaChain to power a unified gaming ecosystem without borders.
According to the agreement, Shrapnel’s network fees will be powered by $GALA, thereby scaling the GalaChain ecosystem activity. Furthermore, the partnership includes provisions for Shrapnel to use up to 10 percent of China’s revenue to periodically repurchase $SHRAP on GalaChain, supporting the ecosystem’s health and stability.
In a bold move that demonstrates the potential of this collaboration, Neon Machine, behind the popular game Shrapnel, is migrating its entire economy from Avalanche to GalaChain. The benefits of this shift include faster finality, gas-efficient infrastructure with instant China compliance.
The impact of this partnership extends beyond mere gaming as it enables developers to tap into China’s vast and lucrative gaming market. In an exclusive interview with CryptoPotato, a leading crypto publication, we spoke with Eric Schiermeyer, Founder & CEO at Gala Games, who emphasized that this collaboration will empower the next generation of creators.
In another crucial development, the partnership has enabled the creation of a new, commemorative Bridge Badge NFT. This unique badge will be dropped to all Gala wallets and Neon players, and a 72-hour public claim window will welcome newcomers to the platform. Holders of this badge will not only gain access to Shrapnel play-test slots but also be among the first to have their NFT mirrored on TCC.
The partnership marks an historic moment for the blockchain and gaming industries as it paves the way for seamless global transactions, providing a secure environment for creators to showcase their work and monetize their intellectual property.
