Galactica: From Roadmap to Reality, and What Comes Next

On October 3rd, Galactica will host its Token Generation Event (TGE), marking a major milestone for the network. It is a fitting moment to look back at what has been achieved since launch and to look forward at the three industries Galactica is now preparing to reshape: finance, governance, and advertising.

Looking Back: From Roadmap to Achievements

When Galactica launched in 2022, it laid out an ambitious roadmap centered around three pillars: a new kind of blockchain computer for identity, privacy-preserving compliance, and adoption at scale. Over the past three years, the project has moved steadily from concept to implementation.

• Identity Virtual Machine (IVM) The IVM is no longer just an idea - it exists. This blockchain computer makes it possible to run computations over encrypted user data, enabling proofs about identity or reputation without revealing private information.
• zkKYC in practice Galactica argued from the start that compliance and privacy should not be opposites. In 2024, the network launched zkKYC with SwissBorg, showing how regulated institutions can verify users without exposing personal documents on-chain.
• Telegram Passport Adoption has always been a priority. Through its partnership with Blum, Galactica built the first Telegram-native passport, giving over 900 million potential users a way to carry private, verified identity across bots, mini-apps, and campaigns.
• Community recognition Early participants received Citizenship NFTs, Soulbound Tokens, and reputation-linked rewards, gradually building the foundations for user-driven governance and Universal Basic Income in the Cypher State.

In other words, Galactica’s early roadmap has been executed step by step - not just in theory, but in working products, testnets, and integrations.

What Comes Next: Three Frontiers of Disruption

1. DeFi: Privacy-Compliant Structured Products with Syntetika

Decentralised Finance still faces a barrier to institutional adoption: transparency. Public blockchains expose every transaction and strategy. For institutions, that level of visibility is a deal-breaker.

This is where Galactica’s identity and compliance infrastructure comes in. Its zkKYC framework makes it possible to verify eligibility privately, satisfying regulatory requirements without sacrificing privacy.

The first major application is Syntetika, a protocol for structured financial products. Already live on Galactica’s testnet and already using zkKYC, Syntetika offers on-chain equivalents of traditional instruments. These products allow tailored risk profiles and predictable yields, now with privacy and composability built in.

Together with asset managers like Hilbert Capital, Galactica and Syntetika are creating a new foundation for institutional-grade DeFi - private, compliant, and accessible.

2. Government-as-a-Service: Building the Cypher State with Próspera

Residency, compliance, and taxation remain tied to geography, even as work and wealth move online. Galactica is working to change this by combining its technology with Próspera Government as a service (GaaS), a Zone for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDA)  in Honduras, who has pioneered Prósperas E-residency built by the team behind Estonia’s e-Residency program along other GaaS primitives.

Próspera provides the legal framework: globally recognised incorporation, predictable taxation (1–5%), and strong property rights. Galactica adds the cryptographic rails: zkKYC, zkCerts, and the IVM. Together, they form the basis of the Cypher State a jurisdiction where individuals and businesses can operate globally, privately, and compliantly.

For digital nomads, it means frictionless invoicing and optimised taxation. For crypto users, it means legal certainty, private compliance and asset protection. For sovereign individuals, it means opting into a system built for the digital era.

3. Advertising: Private Matching at Scale with Blum

Advertising is one of the largest industries on the internet, yet dominated by models that trade user data for targeting. Galactica, in partnership with Blum, is introducing a different approach for Telegram’s +900 million users.

At the core is Galactica ID for Telegram (GIT) - an encrypted passport integrated directly into Telegram. Built with Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) technology from Zama and zero-knowledge proofs, GIT enables private audience matching: advertisers reach qualified users without ever accessing raw data.

A key innovation here is the H-score - a private, on-chain metric combining Sybil resistance and trading activity. It ensures that rewards, airdrops, and campaigns go to real, active humans while keeping user data confidential. The H-score will become a cornerstone of Galactica’s identity layer across Telegram and beyond.

The result is a win-win: users stay in control, advertisers reach verified audiences, and platforms gain trust and efficiency without surveillance.

Conclusion: October 3rd and Beyond

As Galactica approaches its Token Generation Event on October 3rd, the foundation is already in place: the Identity Virtual Machine, zkKYC, the Telegram Passport, and a community of early citizens.

The next chapter is about scale and application - working with partners to disrupt three industries at once:

• Finance, through private structured products with Syntetika.
• Governance, through Government-as-a-Service with Próspera.
• Advertising, through FHE-powered identity and H-scores with Blum.

These are not speculative ambitions; they are live collaborations, testnets, and integrations that will define how Galactica moves from vision to adoption.

The past three years show that Galactica can deliver on ambitious roadmaps. With the October 3rd TGE, the stage is set for the next phase, one where finance, governance, and advertising become private, compliant, and user-owned.
