In the realm of decentralized entertainment, Gala Film emerges as a revolutionary platform, empowering filmmakers and rewarding film enthusiasts with a unique tokenized ecosystem. At the heart of this ecosystem lies $FILM, the platform’s utility and reward token.
$FILM has not yet been created on GalaChain, but details of the current token rollout plan can be found in the Gala Film Litepaper, as well as briefly outlined in this blog.
What is POPCORN!?
For their early support of the Gala Film ecosystem, Screen Node operators have received rewards in the form of POPCORN! Buckets. These special units of POPCORN are essentially mint allowances for the creation of $FILM after that token is initially allocated.
Initial Conversion of POPCORN! to $FILM
With the current plans for $FILM’s initial token creation event, holders of POPCORN! Buckets will receive $FILM at a ratio of 10 $FILM to 1 POPCORN!, with additional $FILM bonuses determined by the size of your POPCORN! Buckets.
Ongoing Conversion of POPCORN! to $FILM
Following the initial $FILM token creation, POPCORN! will still be issued as the initial reward for Screen Node operators and anyone else who has earned $FILM rewards through various platform interactions. This will act as a mint allowance that users can mint (converting into $FILM) when they choose, taking advantage of POPCORN! bonuses by minting larger amounts of $FILM at a time.

Now let’s explore the core utility token of Gala Film and its uses throughout the ecosystem.
