The Gala Film platform offers a revolutionary decentralized approach to distributing film content. Powered by a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) through Gala Film’s Theater Node ecosystem, content is powered and delivered on the Decentralized Content Delivery Network (DCDN), allowing Theater Node operators to receive rewards for carrying the platform workload.
We are thrilled to announce the completion and results of Gala Film’s first two Theater Node governance votes. Marking a significant milestone in our journey towards a more decentralized and community-driven platform, our community of Theater Node operators has spoken, and their decisions will play a crucial role in shaping the future of $FILM tokenomics.
The Votes
The two governance votes focused on key aspects of $FILM tokenomics:
Maximum Boost for Film Projects
Distribution Method for $FILM Tokens
Voter Participation
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all Theater Node owners who participated in these votes. A total of 249 Theater Node operators cast their votes, with a total of 508 participating Theater Nodes. This strong turnout underscores the dedication and engagement of our community, and we hope to further increase the involvement and engagement of our valued Theater Node operators in the future.
Results
Vote 1: Distribution Method
With 58% of the votes, the community has decided to keep the current distribution method based on the prior day’s activities. This means that the daily minting of $FILM tokens will continue to be determined by the previous day’s ecosystem activity.
Vote 2: Film Boost Reward
With 43% of the votes (winning share), the community has chosen to set the Film Boost at 3X. This decision means that once a film reaches the Boost cap, each view will count as three views when calculating daily $FILM distribution.
Next Steps
These decisions will be incorporated into the Gala Film Litepaper and applied to the platform. We believe that these choices will foster a more dynamic and rewarding ecosystem for all participants.
We are immensely grateful for your continued support and participation in shaping the future of Gala Film. Together, we are building a more empowering film industry.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to have your voice heard in upcoming governance votes. Your participation is crucial in our journey to revolutionize the world of film through the power of blockchain technology.
Thank you again for voting and for being a part of the Gala Film community.
Gala Film is thrilled to announce an exciting upcoming feature called “Film Boosts,” launching alongside the creation of the $FILM token on GalaChain. This innovative addition to our platform will empower fans to play a crucial role in advancing and promoting their favorite films, creating a deeper connection between artists and their supporters.
What are Film Boosts?
Film Boosts offer an unprecedented way for fans to support and promote their cherished films using the $FILM token. By holding $FILM against a specific film title, fans can elevate the film’s level within the Gala Film ecosystem. This elevation enhances the “watching weight multiplier” of the film’s moments and unlocks exciting “level ups.”
Benefits for Artists and Fans
The Film Boosts system offers dual benefits:
For Artists: As films climb through various levels, they unlock significant opportunities and perks. For instance, reaching level 10 could grant a feature on the platform’s homepage, while level 20 might initiate an expanded marketing campaign. Film producers, actors and cast members can reward their most dedicated fans with exclusive benefits such as discounts on products, access to limited edition merchandise or even opportunities for personal meet-and-greets.
For Fans: This system incentivizes deeper engagement, allowing fans to receive unique perks and a closer connection with the artists they support. Locking tokens against a film provides on-chain proof of dedication, enabling artists to independently recognize and reward their most loyal supporters without centralized control.
Boosting, Not Staking
Unlike traditional staking mechanisms that yield financial returns, Film Boosts focus on enhancing fan experience and engagement for the benefit of the entire ecosystem. This decentralized approach empowers artists to directly interact with and appreciate their fans, fostering a vibrant and supportive community within the Gala Film ecosystem.
With the introduction of Film Boosts, Gala Film continues to innovate, creating a dynamic and interactive platform for filmmakers and fans alike. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the launch of this exciting feature and the $FILM token on GalaChain.
