What is Shibuya?

About Shibuya

Named after the crossing in Tokyo, Shibuya is a place where cultures and ideas meet. It is designed to have many screens of diverse content that everyone can go see.

Shibuya is a web3 content studio and creator platform.

Unlike traditional streaming platforms, Shibuya is built with decentralization as a priority and uses blockchain technology to securely distribute and monetize content. We want to build a range of tools and resources to help creators produce high-quality content, and provide them with direct access to their audiences. This can empower creators to build deep connections with their fans and create a loyal following that helps drive the growth of the platform.

NFTs provide a new business model for content monetization, and Shibuya aims to fill a gap in the market for long-form content monetization using web3 technology.

Long-term we are on a mission to change how content is created, owned, and consumed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is White Rabbit?

White Rabbit is the first in-house IP on Shibuya and is a web3 interactive series about going down the crypto rabbit hole. The short film follows Mirai, the protagonist and explores general themes of: self sovereignty, free will vs. illusion of choice, and the ability to build new types of governance and economic freedom.

It pays homage to many themes in the crypto industry and is full of easter eggs and symbolism.

How do I mint Producer Passes?

You can mint Producer Passes when we launch a new chapter. Producer passes are only valid for the latest chapter, so once you mint a Producer Pass, make sure you use it before voting closes!

What happens to my Producer Pass when I vote?

When you vote using your Producer Pass, the Producer Pass token is temporarily staked (i.e. ownership is transferred to the contract). As soon as voting is complete, you may unstake your passes on the voting page to get your passes back in your wallet.

What is a $WRAB token?

Once an IP is complete, it will be turned into a fractionalized NFT. A $WRAB token, or White Rabbit token, represents ownership of the final film of White Rabbit.
