Crypto Meets Tradition: Gala Games Partners With The White House For 2025 Easter Egg Roll
This spring, history cracks open a new chapter. Gala Games has become the first-ever crypto company to collaborate with the White House for its Easter Egg Roll. In April 2025, Gala brings a new twist by introducing a simple blockchain-based game that anyone could enjoy. It's a big step for Gala Games and a showcase of what GalaChain, the company's own Layer 1 blockchain, can do in real-world settings.
A twist on the classic Easter egg hunt, accessible to all attendees at easter.gala.games. Families can dive into a free, easy-to-play game where collecting virtual eggs rewards them with unique NFTs powered by GalaChain. Inspired by the traditional egg hunt, this version lets players collect unique NFTs as they explore the game. These NFTs are stored on GalaChain, offering ownership and potential future use inside the Gala ecosystem like Gala Music and Gala Films. The game built to be easy, free, and accessible aims to make blockchain feel simple and welcoming. Powered by GalaChain
This partnership is powered by GalaChain , the Layer 1 network that supports everything across the Gala ecosystem, from games to music to film. Designed for speed, low costs, and accessibility, GalaChain gives developers an easy path to build. Built on Hyperledger Fabric and supported by a decentralized network of Founder's Nodes, Galachain brings transparency and security while giving users real ownership of their digital assets. By integrating GalaChain into the Easter Egg Roll Gala shows this tech can support mainstream, family-friendly experiences at scale. Gala's Growing Entertainment Ecosystem
This White House collaboration builds on Gala's growing list of high-profile partnerships across entertainment. Gala has teamed up with major players like DreamWorks Animation, AMC Networks, LG Global, and NBC Universal helping expand its reach from gaming into music and film. Gala Film, in particular, uses GalaChain to support artists and reward fans through NFT-based content ownership. It's part of Gala's broader mission to make blockchain useful across industries.
Its relationship with Snoop Dogg is another standout. Back in 2022, Snoop released B.O.D.R. (Bacc on Death Row) on Gala Music as an NFT collection. Fans could own tracks and unlock exclusive rewards from merchandise to private concerts while artists maintained more control over their work. It is a preview of how Gala brings artists and audiences closer together through blockchain.
The Easter Egg Roll is about tradition, family, and community and Gala Games steps in without disrupting that spirit. The game adds a new layer, but the event stays true to its roots. The focus on openness and accessibility mirrors Gala's values around decentralization and user empowerment.
This collab also highlights Gala's leadership in the space. Founded in 2019 by Zynga co-founder Eric Schiermeyer, Gala has grown into a global company with over 350 employees and 1.3 million monthly active users. Its ecosystem spans Gala Games , Gala Music, and Gala Film all connected by GalaChain's reliable infrastructure. The White House moment marks a new chapter, signaling that blockchain has a role to play in shared cultural events. Looking Ahead
By bringing a simple digital egg hunt to the Easter Egg Roll with the White House, Gala Games has created history. The game at easter.gala.games is a small example of what's possible when technology supports tradition rather than replacing it. Backed by GalaChain and shaped by collaborations with major names like DreamWorks and NBCUniversal and artists like Snoop Dogg, Gala isn't chasing hype. It's building real-world experiences that are fun, inclusive, and built to last.
The 2025 Easter Egg Roll might just be the start of something bigger where crypto quietly fits into moments that matter.

Global Cult Following Keeps Le Creuset Simmering
They feature in the Duchess of Sussex's "With Love, Meghan" Netflix cooking show. They've been spotted in rapper Snoop Dogg's kitchen. Top chefs can't live without them, and TikTok posts draw millions. For a maker of pots and pans, Le Creuset has had an astonishing global run and cult-like following that nobody could have predicted when the company first set out to produce staple kitchenware in Fresnoy-le-Grand, a modest village in northern France, in 1925. Two Belgian entrepreneurs built what, a century later, is still Le Creuset's home factory in the village of barely 3,000 inhabitants, home of the company's trademark enamelled cast-iron cookware. The flagship Dutch oven model, now available in about 100 colours, started out exclusively in flaming orange, which still makes Le Creuset pots instantly recognisable. With a price tag in the region of 250 euros ($280) for basic cast-iron models -- rising fast for elaborate models or special editions -- Le Creusets are high-end designer creations with a reputation for indestructibility. All the company's cast-iron cookware is still exclusively made in the Fresnoy-le-Grand factory, the centrepieces of which are two giant electric furnaces -- also called "creuset", which is French for "crucible". The furnaces heat molten cast iron to 1,550 degrees Celsius (2,822 Fahrenheit), the melting point for this iron and carbon alloy. The blindingly bright liquid, hotter than lava, is then poured into a transfer recipient, which is automatically carried along a rail. The cast iron is poured quickly into sand moulds shaped by metal patterns to make raw products. The remaining cast iron and sand are recycled back into the manufacturing process. After being ground by robots and stripped by being exposed to bombardment with tiny steel beads, the utensils are glazed with enamel -- a mixture of glass, quartz, clay, water and colorants -- before vitrification at nearly 800C. The resulting variety of shapes and colours presents an industrial challenge, but "really embodies the strength and DNA of the brand," said Frederic Salle, manager of the site. Le Creuset now sells 95 percent of its production abroad, in more than 80 countries, but keeps a tight lid on financial data, which the privately held company is not obliged to disclose. Things weren't always upbeat. When Paul van Zuydam, a Briton with a South African background, bought Le Creuset in 1988, customers had gone cool on the brand. But Van Zuydam, who is still Le Creuset's president, pushed the company's international expansion, established it at the high segment of the market and diversified production sites for non-cast iron products to foreign countries, including China and Thailand. Le Creuset has 575 retail outlets in the world, with online sales having received a boost from a home cooking craze during the Covid pandemic. "The brand is doing very well pretty much everywhere in the world," said Marie Gigot, managing director for France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Like for many global companies, US President Donald Trump's tariff threats are a concern, she acknowledged. "The situation changes every day, so we follow it very closely." But US buyers wealthy enough to purchase Le Creuset products in the past will probably not be put off by any tariff hikes, said Nick Stene, head of home and garden research at Euromonitor, a market research company. "Homes that can afford to invest in the higher price points, especially over $300 for luxury cookware, are the last households to feel the pain when buying power is under pressure," he told AFP. Le Creuset has been "one of the strongest performers" in the homeware category, which has seen around 4.5-percent annual growth since 2019, he said. One major factor of success has been social media, where proud owners like to showcase their Le Creuset to prove they can afford it, but also that they "know how to use it properly", accompanied by hashtags like #LeCreuSlay, he said. "There is nothing quite as efficient as having your customers also act as your ambassadors and marketing team," added Stene. Le Creuset cookware comes in 100 colours AFP Instantly recognisable AFP

Billy Ray Cyrus' Surprising New Relationship Has Liz Hurley's Friends Shaking Their Heads: 'Must Be A Joke or Madness'
Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley are making headlines with their unexpected new romance — and not all of them are glowing. The 59-year-old British actress and model cemented the romance with the 63-year-old country star on Easter Sunday, uploading pictures of the pair snuggled up in casual denim at his Nashville abode. The couple may have looked smitten. However, others close to Hurley are not so convinced it's a great idea, say sources. "She's been waiting a long time for romance. I think she likes the whole cowboy thing," a close friend of Hurley told Page Six, revealing that she flew out to spend Easter with Cyrus at his estate. But others — including Elton John, who has been friends with the star for decades — were less than impressed. "Liz's friends think it must be a joke or madness, but they aren't saying it to her," one insider said. "Elton may not understand this relationship, and is a bit bemused by it. But for all his faults, Elton is really loyal to Liz." John is famously close to Hurley and was there for her during a pivotal moment in her life, offering his home as a recovery space following the birth of her son, Damian. He's also the teen's godfather. The pair met on the set of the 2022 holiday movie "Christmas in Paradise." However, Hurley previously had stated that she took the role because it offered her "the opportunity to work with Billy Ray, whom I've long been a fan of," MovieWeb reported after critics poorly received the show. Romance or Red Flag? Although some fans were blindsided, some of Hurley's friends say that the relationship is the real deal. "This is not a hoax. Liz is not a hoaxy person; she's very sincere, very bright and I think she likes him," a friend told Page Six. "Just look at the photo of them together — she looks happy! People are so quick to be mean." The worry, however, is not just that of disapproving friends. Cyrus has had a tumultuous relationship with several of his kids over the last few years.
