Introducing Galaxy OAT (On-chain Achievement Token)
Galaxy OAT is a light-weight badge standard designed for event organizers to distribute NFT badges and create NFTs for life experiences easily with Project Galaxy protocol.
A new NFT badge feature added to the Project Galaxy platform — introducing Galaxy OAT (On-chain Achievement Token, or you can just call it GOAT) co-launched with Polygon Studios powered by Polygon and NFT.Storage powered by IPFS and Filecoin.
Galaxy OAT aims to be a light-weight solution for event organizers and community managers to utilize Project Galaxy’s NFT infrastructure and on-chain credential data network to build and distribute NFT badge campaigns easily and reward their community members.
- Event organizers can create their dedicated pages on galaxy.eco, create events and credentials just by submitting the parameters and the design of the badge.
- Users or event participants will be able to claim their NFTs just via their email with gas-less minting experience.
- OAT is currently only available on Polygon as ERC-721 token, and will have native support with OpenSea and most of the wallet apps.
- The metadata of all OAT NFTs will be stored on NFT.Storage powered by IPFS and Filecoin.

“We’re thrilled with the launch of Galaxy OAT — if 2021 was the breakthrough year for NFTs as culture, 2022 is the year for NFTs as utilities. On-chain credentials are powerful signaling tools for communities — and to be truly accessible require driving the cost of creation, storage, and bandwidth to be negligible. The immutable linking of IPFS and verifiable storage of Filecoin are ideal choices to support the massive amounts of NFT data communities will generate and ensure their data is never lost.” — Jonathan Victor, Growth Lead for NFT.Storage
Galaxy OAT will not only be limited to loyalty programs for NFT, DeFi, Metaverse projects but also for real-world events and life experiences as well. In order to better prepare for future demands, we will continue to update OAT with the following features:
- Open API for Integration within other Web3 apps
- Claim badge by scanning QR codes
- Notifications for users when there are OATs available for you
- And more!
We look forward to receiving any valuable feedback from our community. We encourage our community, either Developers / Non Developers to experience OAT as our Beta Tester today.
