GALA Pumps on Fund Recovery and Token Burn Plan

Gala Games’ GALA token gets pumped after the company’s successful recovery of funds stolen in a security breach and a proposed large-scale token burn to stabilize the ecosystem. 

Gala was able to recover $22 million in Ethereum on Tuesday after the attacker decided to return some of the funds. Gala Games CEO, Eric Sciermeyer suggested that the recovered ETH would be used to repurchase GALA tokens. Additionally, the film proposed to burn around 4.4 billion more tokens.

This token burn focuses on the fact that the GALA contract is set up as upgradable as well, to make this process as smooth as possible for users.

Well done $GALA team!

Recap:
Some jackass stole $22m
They realized this was a REALLY bad plan, and returned $23m
This was used to buy $GALA and burn it.

Here is one of the burns: https://t.co/OCBiEEh4EN

Onwards and upwards. Looking forward to bringing more builders to… https://t.co/SeGE0VeAI2

The attack clearly shows the need for security enhancement within the Crypto market. Gala Games was able to quickly react to the attack and most interesting involved users throughout the incident. Although token burning is a debatable practice as it can lead to loss of token value, it seems important for regaining the trust of users.

GALA token is currently trading at a price of $0.04611, with a 7.14% price increase as per Coinmarketcap stats
