At Gala Film, we’re proud to lead the charge in building a decentralized content delivery network (DCDN) powered by our incredible DePIN providers. Theatre Nodes have always been at the heart of this bold vision, ensuring seamless content delivery while shaping the future of entertainment. Today, we want to announce a set of meaningful updates to improve our reward incentives for Theatre Node operators, and to reinforce our commitment to a sustainable ecosystem.
Here’s what’s coming:
1. A 5% Boost to Daily Allocation
Our node operators are the backbone of our ecosystem and their support matters to us. That’s why as of Feb 1st, we’re increasing the daily allocation for Theatre Node operators from 17.5% to 22.5%.
To make this happen, we’ll reallocate 2.5% from the Operating Entity, and 2.5% from Ecosystem Supporting Actions (Key Stone). We hope that this change not only benefits node operators but also reflects our commitment to ensuring long-term viability for our decentralized backbone.
Note: As a result of reducing Ecosystem Supporting Actions to 7.5%, we anticipate a higher daily emission rate due to a smaller keystone weighting. This means, with the current platform activity we can expect the estimated overall daily emission to increase by 20%, benefiting all participants.
2. Mystery Rewards for Theatre Node Operators
We’re bringing back a long time tradition at Gala to turn up the excitement with randomized rewards! Starting this month, we’ll be dropping the following prizes to randomly selected theatre nodes with the final distribution of every month:
100 Moments
200 Premiere Mystery Boxes
These rewards will be distributed across random qualifying nodes from our content library. As a Theatre Node operator, you’ll not only power the Gala Film experience but also have the chance to own Moments and unlock exclusive content from our library.
3. $FILM is the Future
Beginning February 1st, Theatre Nodes will only be available for purchase with $FILM, our native token. What’s more, every $FILM used for node purchases will be 100% burned, strengthening Gala’s ecosystem.
This will be done to solidify our commitment to making $FILM the lifeline of Gala Film and ensuring that our ecosystem remains robust and aligned with our decentralized principles.
Why This Matters
These updates underscore our dedication to our node operators and the broader Gala Film community. By increasing rewards and reinforcing $FILM’s role in the ecosystem, we’re setting the stage for a thriving, sustainable decentralized CDN that benefits everyone involved.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate and grow together. Let’s redefine entertainment, one block at a time.
If you’re not yet a Theatre Node operator, now’s the perfect time to get involved.

Shards
Shards are the building blocks of Expansions. Each Shard has a different rarity, making some Expansions harder to complete than others.
Bronze Shards: The most common, often found in free Mystery Boxes.
Silver Shards: Rarer, typically found in Premiere Mystery Boxes.
Golden Shards: The most scarce, contributing to the toughest Expansions to assemble.
Premiere Mystery Box: What’s Inside?
In addition to Shards that unlock Expansions, you may find amazing prizes in Premiere Mystery Boxes.
Premiere Mystery Box Shard Odds
60% of Shards are Bronze

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.
The suspense keeps building for the sci-fi tech thriller series that has everyone in web3 talking. From the visionary mind of creator David Bianchi, RZR promises to kick things off for Gala Film with a real bang, inviting you into the gritty and surreal world where computers collide with the human brain.
First off, if you’re not as psyched as we are for Sunday’s exclusive global premiere, it’s probably because you haven’t watched the new trailer. Do it now.
Mystery Boxes
Ready to dig deeper into the world and lore of RZR, giving yourself multiple shots at winning exclusive merch, creator experiences and more in the process? Then RZR Mystery Boxes are just for you.
Each Mystery Box contains four items and four chances to win.
Some Mystery Boxes will be yours for free just for completing simple tasks on the Gala Film platform, like watching episodes, sharing and more.
Some Mystery Boxes have chances at rarer items. These will cost you $3.99 in the Gala Film store. They’re called Premiere Mystery Boxes. Check out the list below for an idea of what you might find inside.
Director Cuts
Opening Mystery Boxes will primarily reveal Shards, which you can collect and assemble to unlock Director Cuts. Once unlocked, these Director Cuts reveal new video content that will pull you even deeper into the story’s labyrinth, revealing behind the scenes footage, additional backstories and more.
Shards
Shards are the building blocks of Director Cuts. Each Shard is assigned a different rarity, meaning some are tougher to find than others and some Director Cuts are more difficult to complete than others.
Director Cuts 7-10 = 1 Bronze Shard + 1 Silver Shard + 1 Golden Shard
Director Cuts 11-12 = 1 Bronze Shard + 2 Silver Shards + 3 Golden Shards
With 46 unique Shards and increasing degrees of collectible difficulty for assembling higher numbered Director Cuts, snagging them all will not be an easy feat. But if you do manage to collect every Shard and unlock every Director Cut, you’ll have unparalleled insight into the world and story of “RZR.”
Premiere Mystery Box: What’s Inside?
In addition to Shards that will unlock Director Cuts when completed as described above, you’ll sometimes find amazing prizes in Premiere Mystery Boxes. Check out the items and odds below!
Premiere Mystery Box Shard Odds
While unique numbered Shards are needed for each of the 12 Director Cuts, the odds of finding Shards is based primarily on Shard rarity:
60% of Shards are Bronze
30% of Shards are Silver
10% of Shards are Golden
Premiere Additional Prizes
While you’ll only find Shards in the no-cost (Starter, standard) Mystery Boxes, the $3.99 Premiere Mystery Boxes may contain additional prizes from the list below. One lucky Mystery Box will even contain the grand prize of a Gala Film Theater Node License.

Powered by Theater Nodes
The Gala Film platform brings a revolutionary decentralized approach to distribution of film content. Powered by a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) through Gala Film’s Theater Node ecosystem, content is literally powered and delivered on the Decentralized Content Delivery Network (DCDN), allowing Theater Node operators to receive rewards for carrying the platform workload.
