Mirandus Vox Avatar Drop

Gala Games will drop their Mirandus Vox avatars today at 5:00 p.m. ET. Though damaged in the recent slide, $GALA, the native currency of the Gala Ecosystem has seen a steep rise over the last 30 days, increasing in price by 381%. The optimism around the project makes it likely that the drop later today will be hotly contested. Though the price is currently unknown it is suspected that you will need $GALA to make a purchase. Users are encouraged to be prepared with a Gala account and $GALA ahead of the drop. 

Initially, minters will be given an ERC-1155 that can be traded for the eventual ERC-721 Vox avatar. The drop will take place through the Gala Games app store.
