The coming attractions are nearly over, and it’s almost time for your Feature Presentation.
Gala Film has rewritten the playbook for the web3 era, building a free platform that enhances the watching experience for fans while empowering filmmakers to create anything their imagination can manage.
Gala Film’s revolutionary plan is fueled by a single upcoming GalaChain token: $FILM. And we’re pleased to announce that an official date has been slated for its release.
$FILM is coming on December 5th, 2024.
What is $FILM
Gala Film is an ecosystem built on the web3 infrastructure of GalaChain, a blockchain built specifically to meet the fast-paced demands of entertainment industries like Games, Music and Film. As a dedicated GalaChain network, Gala Film’s vision centers around $FILM, the platform’s official reward and utility token.
$FILM will be:
Collected as a reward for multiple levels of participation.
Used to boost promising projects and unlock exclusives.
Harnessed to fund a future of decentralized video content and usher a new creative era.
But that is only the beginning of the story. Keep watching.
Doing More with Film
What if you could do more than just watch your favorite films and series. What if you could own pieces of them, powering the experience for viewers just like you and collecting tangible rewards in the process. The ad-free viewing platform of the future is powered by users within the decentralized network.
Participation is its own reward, especially when you don’t even have to buy a ticket to enjoy the show. But for those who want to take their film experience to the next level, it goes far beyond simply participating.
Watch and Unlock
Gala Film content is free to watch for all viewers. By enjoying new episodes and movies, fans can sometimes collect special rewards like Mystery Boxes, which contain shards that when collected and combined, unlock exclusive content they won’t find anywhere else. Instead of making you pay to watch, we’re giving you something they can treasure.
Own and Collect
Fans of specific Gala Film projects can support those projects directly by becoming a Moment owner. Moments are Gala Film NFTs, unique tokens that can be collected, transferred or exchanged on secondary markets. When you own a Gala Film Moment NFT, you collect a share of that content’s generated $FILM rewards each day based on its platform success.
Power the Network
By owning and operating a Gala Film Theater Node, community members can become producers, powering the decentralized network that delivers content and works behind the scenes of the platform’s complex web3 ecosystem.
Anyone with a computer and a good internet connection can become a licensed operator of a Theater Node. Ultimately as GalaChain moves toward full decentralization, Theater Node operators will have the option to tokenize their Theater Node licenses, making it possible for operators to transfer and exchange those tokens on secondary markets.
Create Something Extraordinary
The empowerment of creators lives at the core of everything web3 can do for the film industry. Where film funding and filmmaking have always been notoriously difficult to “break into,” GalaChain is flipping the script by making it possible for anyone with a vision to make their creative dreams come true. You’ll love Pitches, made possible by $FILM.
Keep the POPCORN! Coming
Throughout 2024, POPCORN! Has been collected as the official placeholder token for $FILM. With the $FILM TGE (Token Generation Event) on December 5th, the Gala Film community will finally have the ability to convert their collected POPCORN! and POPCORN! Buckets into the new token at a fixed rate.
Look for more details about this conversion process as the TGE draws nearer in the Gala Film Discord community, blog and social media channels.
We hope you’re as excited as we are for the future of Gala Film and its new reward and utility token.
The heart-pounding and adrenaline pumping fourth episode of the anime horror action series, Ghosts of Ruin, opens in the tranquil neural reality landscape of Ruin with a terrifying monster, real pain, and a bug that won’t let the members of Team Risen log out. In a frightening twist that raises the stakes to unimaginable new heights, the game has just become shockingly real.
If you aren’t up to speed on the developing GoR saga, don’t miss out. Watch all 4 episodes in the limited run 100% free now, only on Gala Film.
With our unique system of Mystery Boxes, every episode is a new chance to unlock additional Expansion content or win limited edition prizes.
Own the Moments
Collect NFT Moments from the series by opening Moment Packs. Ownership of NFT Moments unlocks daily POPCORN! rewards, which will later be redeemable for $FILM, the upcoming official Gala Film ecosystem token. Owning NFT Moments is a unique way to support your favorite Gala Film projects and share in their success, generating rewards each day based on the platform plays of that content. The more plays, the more rewards.
Interested in unlocking even more rewards by contributing computing power to the Gala Film DePIN? This is where Theater Nodes come in, delivering on-demand Gala Film content through a state of the art digital content distribution network (DCDN). By purchasing a license to operate one of these Nodes, you’ll share in hosting rewards for the entire platform and more.
The growing Gala Film community is absolutely loving the action-horror anime series “Ghosts of Ruin,” available to watch now absolutely free on the web3 film platform that’s changing the way we experience video content.
This show is visually stunning and packed with action, drawing you deep into a future world of neural reality gaming where things aren’t as they seem.
Something terrifying and sinister is lurking within the massive game of Ruin. Its corporate creators will stop at nothing to launch with success, ensuring the world that everything is safe as they prepare for the Tournament of Ruin, an event that brings one hundred of the world’s most famous gamers together in heavily publicized competition.
For Aiden, a former member of Team Risen, something went terribly wrong. Somehow, the game got a little too real, leaving the young man hospitalized and fighting for his life. But this is what the Ruin founders don’t want you to know. Sweeping Aiden’s situation neatly under the rug, they held a contest to bring in a new player in the 11th hour. This is where Lee comes in. He’s learning fast, but Prism worries that he can never fill Aiden’s shoes.
It’s almost time for the Tournament of Ruin to begin, and Team Risen will sink or swim with the help of a classic gamer who’s only just begun to learn the ropes of neural reality.
