Ethereum was conceptualized in 2013 by the young and visionary programmer Vitalik Buterin. At that time, he was inspired by Bitcoin's blockchain technology and envisioned a platform that supported more than just digital currency. With the help of a professional team, he developed Ethereum and released it to the public in 2015. Vitalik Buterin is thus known as the father of Ethereum and is also referred to as "V God."
The Ethereum created by Vitalik is a decentralized, open-source public blockchain platform with smart contract functionality. Its native token, ETH, is the second highest cryptocurrency by market capitalization globally, and Ethereum is currently one of the most widely used blockchains.
After three years of filming and production, the Ethereum documentary "Vitalik: The Story of Ethereum" is finally set to be released this year. The documentary was initially named "Ethereum: The Infinite Garden," a title that originally came from the Ethereum Foundation. However, since this is an independent film (not produced by the Ethereum Foundation), the team ultimately decided to abandon this name to avoid community confusion.
This Ethereum-themed documentary is independently produced by the film company Optimist, with Carrie Weprin as the producer and Zach Ingrasci and Chris Temple as co-directors. Linda Xie, founder of Scalar Capital and former product manager at Coinbase, also participated as an advisor. The filming budget was raised from the community through Mirror in 2021, totaling 1035.96 ETH.
The documentary "Vitalik: The Story of Ethereum" has announced its release schedule:
- Phase 1: Trailer release on July 23, 2024
- Phase 2: On-chain ticket presale on July 26, 2024
- Phase 3: Global release on September 18, 2024
- Phase 4: Extended theatrical run in Fall 2024
- Phase 5: Mainstream streaming premiere in Winter 2024/2025
This thematic documentary focuses on the humanity and core behind the technology, aimed at community members, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and skeptics. It will take viewers on a deep dive into the founder of Ethereum and the story behind it, showcasing the development and impact of this revolutionary platform.
