前言

1888年,路易斯·普林斯放映了第一套的电影《朗德海花园场景》,从此电影在建筑、雕塑、绘画、音乐、诗之后,成为了人类的第七艺术。电影技术的突破,为世界带来了新一波的文化冲击。

Vitalik:一个以太坊的故事》不仅仅是一个关于科技背后的人性和价值的专题纪录片。它面向社群成员、加密货币贡献者和怀疑论者。我们无法用一部电影承载整个以太坊如此多样化和庞大的生态系统和它的完整故事。它所希望的是观众能透过 Vitalik Buterin 的眼睛以平易近人的方法去理解以太坊的旅程。

2014年,以太坊基金会成立。10年后的今天,随着区块链技术的突破,以太坊为电影带来了新一波的冲击。

In 1888, cinema began with Louis Le Prince's first film, Roundhay Garden Scene. Since then, it has become the seventh art, shaping culture through technological advances.

Vitalik: The Story of Ethereum is more than a tech documentary. It explores the human side and values behind the technology, designed for community members, cryptocurrency contributors, and skeptics alike. Through Vitalik Buterin’s perspective, the film offers an accessible insight into Ethereum's journey, without trying to cover its vast ecosystem in full.

一个关于《Vitalik︰一个以太坊的故事》的故事

时间回到 2021 年 5 月,Linda Xie 在推特发文公开寻求如何拍摄一部电影纪录片。这是传统电影所不敢想象的。一个陌生人公开地寻求社区的力量插足电影圈。

一个月后,Morgan Beller 向正在 Verkle trees 写博客的 Vitalik 介绍了拍摄团队。

一个月后,Mirror 出现了一个大胆而创新的 NFT 筹备电影拍摄经费的计划 - **Ethereum: The Infinite Garden 。**

51 小时后,活动通过 NFT 链上交易,以 1035.96 ETH (现值大约 240 万美金) 结束,打破了传统电影的封闭而漫长的融资。

3 年的拍摄横跨了 NFT 的繁荣、破坏世界稳定的战争、以太坊的大型升级和成长阵痛等的历史,穿越了 28 个城市和 15 个国家,最后他们把电影带到大型电影发行商的面前?No。

2024 年,团队与 Zora,Bonfire 和 Base 合作,通过平台展示预告片、发行门票、在串流媒体平台公开自行发行。再一次把传统电影业的行规,圈子,步骤一一打破。

The Origins of the Documentary

In May 2021, Linda Xie publicly called on Twitter for ideas to create a documentary, a bold move in the film industry. A month later, Morgan Beller introduced the film crew to Vitalik. Shortly after, the Ethereum: The Infinite Garden NFT project appeared on Mirror, seeking funds to produce the film.

Within just 51 hours, 1,035.96 ETH (~$2.4 million) was raised via NFT sales, breaking the slow, closed traditional film funding system.

The three-year journey spans the rise of NFTs, global disruptions, Ethereum’s major upgrades, and growing pains. Filmed across 28 cities in 15 countries, the creators took an unconventional approach in 2024. Instead of a typical film release, they collaborated with Zora, Bonfire, and Base to launch the trailer and tickets on streaming platforms, yet again breaking traditional film industry norms.
