Galxe announced it is consolidating its team and brand under Gravity to accelerate the development and adoption of Gravity L1. The move comes after more than five years in which Galxe pioneered Web3 questing, giving projects new ways to reach users and build communities, and says it has served 36 million users.

Galxe's website is temporarily unavailable while the team performs maintenance, which it described as a precautionary measure in light of recent security incidents across the industry. The team apologized for the inconvenience and said it will keep users updated, but gave no timeline for when the site will be back.
Galxe disclosed that a bot gained unauthorized access to its Intercom support system and used it to send phishing emails that appeared to come from a Galxe team member. The team said its galxe.com email domain was not affected, that the access has been closed, and that the issue is resolved.
Gravity Alpha Mainnet is winding down as Galxe's core services transition to Gravity L1, and Galxe published the full deadline list for migrating funds. Users must bridge G off the Alpha Mainnet via Fast Withdraw by October 23, 8:00 PM PDT, with a native bridge option open until October 25; USDT, USDC and ETH must also be bridged via Stargate by October 23.

Galxe announced that Business+ now brings GalxePassport, Score, and Bot Filter directly into the campaign flow. Advertisers can verify participant eligibility with geo-fencing, assess onchain reputation, and flag abnormal activity before rewards are distributed.
Galxe announced that $G holders can now bypass the seven-day withdrawal waiting period using Fast Withdraw on GravityChain. The feature removes the standard unstaking delay for G token holders and is detailed in Gravity's update. It is one of several new utilities recently added for the G token alongside engagement rewards and a fee-burning mechanism.
Galxe deprecated Gravity Alpha Mainnet and shifted its core services to Gravity L1; staked G and Smart Savings balances required unstaking before October 25 due to a 7-day waiting period.
The fully EVM-equivalent Gravity Layer-1 mainnet launched, combining Proof-of-Stake validation, a pipelined AptosBFT consensus engine, and the parallel Grevm execution engine to deliver sub-second finality at 12,000+ TPS.
The Gravity Alpha Mainnet launched as an Arbitrum Nitro-based Layer 2, bringing the Galxe ecosystem onchain and testing cross-chain settlement in a production environment ahead of the full L1 mainnet.
Following DAO governance approval, the legacy GAL token was upgraded to Gravity (G) at a 1:60 conversion ratio, with G serving as the native gas, staking, and governance token for the Gravity chain and Galxe ecosystem.
Galxe announced Gravity, an omnichain Layer-1 smart contract platform designed for cross-chain settlement and mass adoption, with Alpha Mainnet planned for June 2024 and full Mainnet for Q2 2025.
An attacker used social engineering against domain registrar Dynadot to seize control of galxe.com, redirecting users to a phishing site that drained wallets; approximately 1,120 users were affected.
Project Galaxy officially rebranded to Galxe, retiring the 'project' label to reflect its evolution into a fully-fledged Web3 ecosystem with a new name, logo, and identity.
Eligible early adopters, including Galaxy NFT holders and active community participants, could claim their GAL token airdrop beginning at 5 AM PST.
The GAL token was launched via Binance Launchpool, allowing users to farm GAL by staking BNB, CAKE, and BUSD, marking the project's token generation event.
Project Galaxy closed a $10 million financing round co-led by Multicoin Capital and Dragonfly Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Binance Smart Chain Growth Fund, Solana Ventures, and others, to build the credential data network.
Project Galaxy (later rebranded to Galxe) was founded by Harry Zhang and Charles Wayn with a vision to build an open, collaborative credential data network for Web3.
