David Goyer, known for his work in Sagas as Blade, The Dark Knight and the series Foundation of Apple TVhas announced an ambitious science fiction project called Emergencybased on technology Blockchain and with a collaborative approach promoted by the community.

The announcement was made during the event Consensus organized by COINDESK In Toronto, where Goyer shared a panel with Sy Lee, representative of Story protocol, infrastructure Blockchain on which the project is built. Emergency It will be the first transmedia universe developed within Incention, A new platform created to facilitate the direct participation of fans in the creation of content.

A new way of building narrative franchises

Goyer criticized the traditional way in which Hollywood manages intellectual property, describing it as a system “Very hierarchical” and “slow to adapt.” In his words, current franchise models are based on structures that have more than a century old.

“It is very difficult to innovate or make way in Hollywood if you are a new creator”said Goyer. With the help of web3 tools, he hopes to transform that reality.

Incention will allow users not only to consume content, but also generate it: they can create characters, scenarios and plots that could eventually be included in animated series, podcasts or official comics.

Atlas, Trained with the lore of Emergency

To coordinate this expansive universe, Goyer wrote a “Bible” of more than 2,500 pages that define the history, background and rules of the world of Emergency. This Bible served as training material for Atlasan artificial intelligence agent that will help collaborators develop consistent stories within the existing narrative framework.

Goyer stressed that this is an application “Authorized” of AI, and not a simple automated collection of internet information. Atlas It will offer narrative guide to the participants, maintaining the consistency with the established canon.

“We hired conceptual artists who have worked at Harry Potter and Star Wars, as well as Hugo and Nebula Awards, to ensure a professional quality level from the beginning”he said.

Decentralized community and narrative governance

One of the key elements of Emergency It will be the direct participation of users. Through the platform, fans can upload characters or stories, which can be voted by the community. The most prominent will be evaluated by a editorial board chaired by Goyer to determine its inclusion in the official canon.

“We will let the community vote for the characters that have created”he explained. “And then, the Editorial Board will decide which best fit with the franchise in general.”

This model represents a significant break with traditional processes, by eliminating intermediaries and allowing licenses, remixes and direct monetization of content generated by users, all under the rules defined by the original creators.

Blockchain and intellectual property: the role of Story Protocol

Story protocol, the infrastructure on which it is built Incention, It was launched in 2023 and has raised more than USD $ 80,000,000 in investors such as A16Z, Hashed and Endeavor. The platform allows registering, tracking and monetizing intellectual property directly on Blockchain, offering transparency and automation in processes that previously required multiple intermediaries.

Sy Lee explained that “Each intellectual property has its own program of royalty licenses and rights. Without intermediaries, anyone can create about the work of another according to the rules of the original creator and share the profits.”

This approach seeks to redefine the way in which creative collaboration in the digital age is conceived.

A seat on the table for creators

Goyer does not ignore the debates around AI and Blockchain, especially with regard to the possible loss of jobs and the commodification of creative work. However, he states that getting involved is key to influencing how these technologies evolve.

“It’s deciding if I’m going to hide my head in the sand or if I’m going to sit at the table and see, in my little way, if I can help guide this to benefit creatives like me,” concluded.

Emergency Not only does it aim to become a large -scale science fiction franchise, but also a pioneering model on how to tell stories in a decentralized, participatory and automated era.
