Leveraging Orbit Subchains & $ARB Gas for On-Chain Film Finance — A Strategic Opportunity for Arbitrum DAO

Big Vision Pictures (BVP) is pioneering the world’s first crypto-funded film and television studio. Our platform allows fans to fund, participate in, and influence real-world film productions — not through speculation, but through on-chain engagement and transparent, decentralized processes.

We plan propose a deeper synergy between BVP and the Arbitrum DAO through the launch of a dedicated Orbit subchain — designed as a film finance hub and operational backbone for on-chain media production. Our vision: transform film production from a centralized, opaque industry into a permissionless, community-governed creative economy — powered by $ARB.

Why Orbit?

Arbitrum Orbit enables customizable subchains tailored for high-performance and industry-specific use cases. BVP’s media-focused L2 subchain offers:

  • Custom gas token support — including $ARB and BVPTOKEN
  • Real-time UX with sub-second finality (thanks to Nitro)
  • On-chain payroll, vendor payments, and treasury logic
  • Decentralized governance for production decisions (casting, greenlighting, etc.)
  • Gas abstraction and sponsorship mechanics for non-technical users

This is not theory — our testnet implementation is effective. All infrastructure (token, staking, gas router) has been deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia and locally verified on Orbit chains.

How This Benefits the Arbitrum DAO

  1. $ARB Gas Utility Expansion

BVP will adopt $ARB as a primary gas token option on its Orbit chain, introducing organic gas demand from a new vertical: media production. Fan voting, tier access, ticket minting, payroll events — all generate native gas fees.

  1. Ecosystem Growth Through Entertainment

BVP brings an entirely new cohort — film investors, production crews, and global fanbases — onto Arbitrum. As they interact on-chain, we increase:

  • Unique wallets
  • DApp engagement
  • TVL and transaction volume
  • DAO delegate diversity via creator communities
  1. Open Media Stack Contributions

All our core modules — including on-chain ticketing, revenue-share NFTs, and experience staking — will be released as open-source tooling for the Arbitrum builder ecosystem.

  1. DAO Treasury Synergy

We intend to submit a grant proposal requesting DAO support for:

  • Subchain bootstrap deployment
  • $ARB gas rebate pilot (e.g., first 10,000 votes gas-free)
  • Security co-audit programs for media-focused modules

The Ask: A Cultural-Scale Collaboration

We’re not just building another dApp. We’re creating a new financial primitive — on-chain entertainment capital. By using $ARB for gas and Orbit for execution, we can unlock real-world use cases that touch mainstream users, artists, and fans.

Let’s work together to make Arbitrum the global home of decentralized entertainment.

We welcome feedback and collaborators ahead of our grant submission and would love to speak with delegates interested in Web3 media use cases.
