Consensys, a pioneering blockchain and web3 software company, has announced a strategic partnership with a decentralized filmmaking ecosystem. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the journey to democratize the Hollywood studio system. Launched earlier this year at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, has already gained traction with over 13,000 monthly active users, up from 1,000 just a few months ago. The partnership with Consensys is expected to further accelerate its growth and impact.

At the heart of this partnership is the shared vision of empowering creators and fans to take center stage in the filmmaking process. Decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) enables filmmakers to submit their independent film projects to the platform, where fans and users can engage with them and vote for the projects they want to be greenlit using governance and utility $FAN Token. This innovative approach not only boosts visibility but also provides unique validation metrics for prospective investors.

Consensys, with its extensive experience in blockchain technology and web3 ecosystem, brings a wealth of expertise to the table. The company's Managing Director, Dror Avieli, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating that it aligns perfectly with Consensys' vision of a decentralized future where communities play a central role. By leveraging the VillageDAO platform, can provide unparalleled support and engagement, empowering fans and filmmakers alike.

The partnership is expected to have a profound impact on the entertainment industry, which has long been criticized for its gatekeeping intermediaries and stifling of creativity. Decentralized approach, combined with Consensys' technical expertise, has the potential to revolutionize the way films are created, funded, and distributed. The partnership is also expected to pave the way for more inclusive and diverse storytelling, as creators from around the world will have access to a global community of fans and investors.

The Village portal, which will be available to the public on Monday, June 17, is a testament to the collaborative spirit of the partnership. Members can submit support tickets and receive prompt assistance from Certified Community Experts on a range of topics, including onboarding, Quests, $FAN Token utilities, general creator support, and best practices to get a project greenlit. Community members can apply to be certified as "Experts" by visiting and if accepted, will be rated by the quality and speed of their support ticket resolution via user voting. Experts are eligible for compensation for their services based on their performance at the end of each month, which will be handled on-chain by the VillageDAO smart contract.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in the evolution of the entertainment industry, and its impact will be felt far beyond the boundaries of Hollywood. As Consensys and continue to push the boundaries of innovation, it's clear that the future of filmmaking is decentralized, inclusive, and empowering.
