Over 20,000 community members exceed 100 million $FAN staked into 250 original projects, highlighting its rapid growth and momentum towards upcoming partnerships
Toronto, CA — August 14, 2024 — During the Canada Crypto Week at the Blockchain Futurist Conference, Film.io, the world’s first decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for the film and entertainment industry, today announced a major milestone, surpassing $100 million in $FAN staked by its expanding community. This achievement highlights the growing support for Film.io as it charts a course towards a series of community votes and events including Black Mirror NFT giveaways, and the highly anticipated collaboration with the City of Madrid in the Ventana Madrid prestigious film competition.
Since debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in January, Film.io has quickly established itself as an innovative platform in the entertainment industry. The launch of its governance token, $FAN, alongside strategic partnerships with industry innovators like Polygon, Pixelynx, Consensys VillageDAO, and CoinList has established Film.io’s role as an emerging platform in decentralized film financing and production.
In less than a year, Film.io has attracted over 20,000 active DAO members and onboarded 250 original filmmakers with their projects. These creators are leveraging the power of Film.io community voting and decentralized governance to advance their projects in new and unprecedented ways to secure talent attachment, alternative financing, crowdfunding, and traditional licensing and distribution.
One such success story is Xavier Rull’s "My Stalker", a thriller that has already begun building a dedicated fanbase on Film.io. Through the ongoing community vote, the project is securing financing, attracting top producers, and has been selected for inclusion in the exclusive Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival—demonstrating the potential of decentralized decision-making in the film industry.
“Every token staked is a vote for diversity, inclusion, and originality in storytelling for films and TV,” said Christopher J. Davis, CTO at Ingredient X and Co-Creator of Film.io. “100 million FAN staked is a clear message that the world wants more of these things, and they are coming to Film.io to make it happen.”
Film.io invites stakeholders in the film and crypto industries to join this initiative by staking FAN tokens to support innovative filmmakers and earn SuperFan credits. The FAN token can be staked and obtained on the Film.io dApp Uniswap and MEXC.
