The Ethereum documentary “Vitalik: An Ethereum Story,” which began filming and production three years ago, will finally be released this year. Initially named “Ethereum: The Infinite Garden,” the title was inspired by the Ethereum Foundation, but since it is an independent film (not produced by the Ethereum Foundation), the team eventually dropped the name to avoid community confusion.
This Ethereum-themed documentary is independently produced by the film company Optimist, with Carrie Weprin as the producer, and co-directed by Zach Ingrasci and Chris Temple. Scalar Capital founder and former Coinbase product manager Linda Xie also participated as a consultant, and the filming costs were funded by 1,035.96 ETH raised from the community through Mirror in 2021.
In today’s announcement, the team introduced:
The documentary will be released in five phases:
Phase 1: Trailer Release – July 23
The trailer will be open for minting on Zora, and it can be minted infinitely. Each minting will help fund the film’s distribution. Additionally, the team will hold a minting leaderboard event, with top contributors receiving benefits such as participation in the documentary premiere, free tickets, and end credits recognition.
Phase 2: On-Chain Ticket Presale – July 26
Through the on-chain ticketing system provided by Base, the movie can be watched on ethereumfilm.xyz. Moreover, the documentary will also have live premieres at over 250 locations worldwide through Gathr’s decentralized, community-driven platform.
Phase 3: Global Release – September 18

Communities will be gathered through live events and film screenings.
Phase 5: Mainstream Streaming Premiere – Winter 2024/2025
