11.14 GalaChain Boxes and NFT Swaps (Mystery Boxes)
GalaChain Boxes are Mystery Boxes with an engaging opening experience. They are created as NFTs or as Off Chain Tokens. The first step to set up a GalaChain Mystery Box is to create the metadata and mint the NFT that will serve as the box or Create the Off Chain Token. Refer to section 11.2 Creating a New Token to create the NFT, section 11.3 Creating a New Off-Chain Token, and section 11.13.2 Customized Opening GalaChain Boxes, if you prefer a customized opening experience over the default one. Note that the customized opening must be included in the box metadata or Off Chain Token and approved with it to take effect. During the process of opening the Box, the Box NFT is burned or the Off Chain is open - Cost Type “Burn Tokens” - and the user receives the Box Content after the opening.
Alternatively, you can set up the Cost Type as “Redemption Code, In this case, no tokens are burned, and the user receives the box through a code redemption. The user needs to go to account settings and click on “Redeem Code.” This can also be combined with the “Promo Pack” functionality, where the user can redeem the code on a landing page. Reach out to your Gala contact if you’re interested in setting up a Promo Pack, as it is not available on Gala Creators.
