campaigns with post-campaign rails already built in: a verified digital asset marketplace, a global mentorship and job-shadowing network, an on-chain film festival with cash prizes, creator-first streaming with 80/20 revenue splits, FAST TV channels, a department-organized filmmaking forum, real-time community chat, and a job board that returns 100% of platform fees to the DAO treasury. Backers are only charged if campaigns meet their goals, with support for both Stripe and Solana USDC rails.

The platform is live and growing, with more than 1,200 registered filmmakers including Emmy Award winners, Golden Globe nominees, and Webby and Telly Award winners, Sundance, Cannes, Tribeca and SXSW alumni. The Festival is governed by verified filmmakers through quadratic voting. BlockReel bootstrapped through pre-seed without external funding and is currently raising a $1.5M seed round at a $12M valuation cap, open through August 30th, 2026.
