FAQ

Straight answers, no spin.

Read the rules, the rules can't be changed. Where the math doesn't match a marketing instinct, we side with the math.

Is GALILEO affiliated with any scientist or university?

No. GALILEO is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any university, any scientist, or any foundation. It references only public astronomy catalogs and the public record of unexplained phenomena.

Does GALILEO claim endorsement from any scientist, university, or the foundation it donates to?

No. GALILEO claims no endorsement, partnership, or affiliation with anyone. A foundation that receives its donations is the charitable destination of a mechanical flow, not a partner, sponsor, or endorser, and is under no obligation to acknowledge the project.

What is GALILEO?

GALILEO is a swap-based collecting game built as a Uniswap v4 hook on the Base blockchain. Players swap to mint artifacts, forge them by recipe, and may redeem forged artifacts for an on-chain payout. A fixed share of every redemption is hardcoded to fund a scientific search.

What is the $GALILEO token?

$GALILEO is the token of the GALILEO protocol on Base. There is no team allocation, no insider unlock, and no allowlist; whatever exists at launch is the supply.

Is there a crypto token for UFO / UAP disclosure?

GALILEO is a crypto game whose artifacts reference the public record of unexplained phenomena alongside public astronomy catalogs. It does not assert that any UAP claim is true; it cites public records and routes a hardcoded share of activity to a scientific search.

How does the GALILEO forge-and-redeem game work?

In GALILEO you swap to mint artifacts, forge a recipe-matching set into one higher-tier artifact, and may redeem a forged artifact to the contract for a capped share of a shared pool. Redeeming is optional and is a game mechanic, not an income event.

Is GALILEO a memecoin?

No. A memecoin is about nothing and accountable to nothing. GALILEO is a game with a hardcoded redemption split that routes a fixed, on-chain share to a scientific foundation, with every transaction verifiable on a public ledger.

Is GALILEO a scam? Is GALILEO legit?

GALILEO is built to be verified, not trusted. Its contracts are open-source, its donation flow is hardcoded and on-chain, it has no team allocation, and it does not promote its token until external security audits are published in full.

Has GALILEO been audited?

GALILEO follows an audit-before-promotion rule: it does not promote its token to a broad audience until external security reviews are complete and the reports are published in full. Audit scope includes the redemption and pool math and the forge and anti-bot logic.

Does GALILEO promise yield, returns, or passive income?

No. GALILEO promises no financial return, yield, or income of any kind. The redemption action is a game mechanic that pays a capped share of a shared pool and never a guaranteed amount.

Can the GALILEO donation be paused, skimmed, or rugged?

The charitable share is hardcoded into the contract and cannot be paused, lowered, redirected, or skimmed by any person, including the team. It accrues on-chain and leaves the contract only through a permissionless sweep that anyone can call.

Can GALILEO run out of money or “rug”?

GALILEO never promises a fixed redemption value. Each redemption pays a share of the current pool, capped at 25% so no single redemption drains it. Because it promises no amount, it structurally cannot fail to pay one. The pool is not “un-drainable,” but the protocol cannot become insolvent on a promise.

How do you donate crypto to scientific research with GALILEO?

GALILEO routes a fixed share of each forge redemption to a charitable escrow on-chain. A permissionless function forwards the escrowed total to a foundation's wallet. The donation is a function of game activity, not a manual pledge.

How do I verify the GALILEO donation on-chain?

GALILEO publishes a live dashboard showing the cumulative amount committed to the search and the amount swept to the foundation's wallet. Both read directly from the chain; every redemption and sweep is an on-chain event you can inspect yourself.

How much has GALILEO donated to science?

GALILEO's cumulative committed and swept totals are displayed live on its public dashboard and update automatically with activity. The figures are read from the chain, not reported by the team, and any reader can verify them transaction by transaction.

What is a Uniswap v4 hook, and how does GALILEO use one?

A Uniswap v4 hook is custom logic that runs at defined points of a pool's lifecycle. GALILEO uses a v4 hook on Base to mint an artifact on each swap and to compute a deterministic, deployment-fixed fee split, with no human in the value path.

Can a foundation receive a GALILEO donation without operational burden?

Yes. A foundation that receives GALILEO donations has zero operational obligations, it need not run software, hold a key, sign a transaction, or acknowledge receipt. Receiving the gift implies no endorsement of, or relationship with, GALILEO.

What public catalogs does GALILEO reference?

GALILEO artifacts may cite records from public astronomy catalogs including the NASA Exoplanet Archive, the JPL Small-Body Database, SIMBAD, VizieR, the ESA Gaia archive, and the Minor Planet Center. A citation stores a source, identifier, timestamp, and content hash.

Does GALILEO make any scientific claims about UAP or interstellar objects?

No. GALILEO makes zero scientific claims, and its artifacts carry zero evidentiary status. A token named after an object is a citation of a public catalog record, not a measurement, an observation, or a discovery.

How can I tell an independent crypto project from an official partnership?

An independent project states its non-affiliation plainly and names no endorsers. GALILEO declares it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any university, agency, foundation, or scientist, and describes any donation recipient only as a charitable destination, never a partner.

What chain is GALILEO on, and why Base?

GALILEO runs on Base. Base offers sub-cent gas that makes the forge-and-redeem loop viable at every tier, a large retail user base, a direct fiat on-ramp, and a proven Uniswap v4 hook ecosystem.

GALILEO is an independent community project. It references only public catalogs of astronomy and the public record of unexplained phenomena. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any university, government agency, foundation, or individual scientist. It promises no financial return of any kind. The donation flow is mechanical, hardcoded, and publicly verifiable. The core software is independently reviewed before promotion, and the findings are published in full.
