What Is Project Galaxy (GAL)?

Project Galaxy is a Web3 credential data network built on an open and collaborative infrastructure that helps developers and organizations leverage digital credential data and NFTs to create better communities and products in Web3.

Credentials are records of activities, accomplishments, reputation, etc., part of the digital identity. Some examples include borrowing records on DeFi lending protocols, on-chain voting history, etc.

Web2 behavioral data can be considered people’s credentials which companies use to send targeted ads. Behavioral credentials are expected to be more decentralized in Web3 and DAO.

Thus, Project Galaxy provides new users with the infrastructure to build digital credentials.

Its infrastructure supports curating of credentials with multiple data sources. Curators can contribute data from seven different chains with snapshots for on-chain credentials. They can also provide data from platforms, such as Twitter, Github, Discord, etc., or offline events.

Bottom line:

According to Coinbase Global Inc CEO Brian Armstrong, the number of crypto users will rise to one billion from the current 200 million within a decade. But unlike Armstrong’s prediction, many people are skeptical about its use. However, given the volatility in the market, investors should apply due diligence before investing in digital assets.
