The Galaxa Project
Galaxa is the first cloud XaaS distributed storage and compute marketplace designed to address the unique requirements of enterprise customers for global on-demand, hyper-secure, hybrid and multicloud, storage and compute services. The Galaxa blockchain is powered by a digital security called GAAX. Galaxa is a distributed framework for the exchange of value for services in a secure, thrustless environment with infrastructure that is designed for today’s stringent corporate governance and regulatory environments. The marketplace is a blockchain powered, decentralized network with nonintrusive oversight and governance enabled by a distributed-services brokering engine.
Two companies dominate the cloud services market and control over 73% of the market. This duopoly provides the strategic business opportunity for Galaxa. While the cloud ecosystem expands rapidly, enterprise customers are experiencing exponential growth in their data storage needs and data workload requirements. To meet these needs, enterprise customers increasingly move from their own data centres to the public cloud. With significant prices charged by major Cloud Services Providers (CSPs) for data egress, enterprise customers with growing data footprints are becoming more and more tied to these providers. Many enterprise customers have experienced the pains and costs of vendor lock-in within their data centres and are similarly wary of becoming locked-in to specific CSPs. Galaxa addresses that problem and more.
“Our vision is for Galaxa to become one of the largest data centers and cloud service providers in the world without owning any data centers. The GAAX digital security offering, to accredited investors only, is a rather unique investment instrument as the holder of GAAX will receive monthly distributions as a percentage of the top line Galaxa revenues,” said Michael Gaffney, Chair and CEO.
Galaxa will be the first cloud Anything as a Service (“XaaS”) distributed storage and compute shared economy marketplace designed to address the unique requirements of enterprise customers for global on-demand, hyper-secure, hybrid and multi-cloud, storage and compute services.
Leonovus has invested over US$33,000,000 to date in building a robust and secure digital storage platform technology, including a unique blockchain-based compliance feature, that will form the foundation of the Galaxa marketplace. GAAX are not convertible or exchangeable into shares of Leonovus. Holders of GAAX are not entitled to vote at meetings of the Company.
The GAAX Digital Security and Monthly Cashflow Distributions to Investors
Galaxa will charge a User Fee of 11% of revenues received in the Galaxa marketplace. GAAX digital security holders will receive monthly distributions of 70% of the User Fee; Galaxa receives 20% of the User Fee; System Moderators (master nodes) and developers receive 10% of the User Fee. These monthly distributions continue until the digital security holders receive a cumulative distribution return of ten times (’10 Threshold’) the initial investment paid by the investors in the first private placement. After reaching the 10 Threshold, GAAX owners will receive 45% of the User Fee in perpetuity with the balance paid to Galaxa and Moderators to maintain and support the marketplace.
