AI-Driven Black Mirror Token Tracks Blockchain and Social Scores

How much of your digital footprint would you trade for cryptocurrency?

That is the provocative premise behind the newly announced Black Mirror token—an officially licensed crypto project inspired by Netflix’s acclaimed dystopian series.

Developed on the KOR Protocol and supported by industry players like Animoca Brands, Niantic Labs, and Avalanche, the experience is powered by a virtual assistant named Iris.

True to Black Mirror’s unsettling themes, Iris monitors user behaviour across blockchain and social platforms, assigning reputation scores that influence access to rewards—turning the show’s cautionary tales into an immersive, real-world experiment.

The Black Mirror Experience account teased on X (formerly known as Twitter):

“Meet Iris, Black Mirror’s virtual assistant. She monitors your social and wallet activity, builds your reputation score, and decides your access, power, and rewards in the Black Mirror universe. She doesn’t care who you are—only how far you’ll go to earn your five-star destiny.”

Black Mirror Dabbles in Crypto

The Black Mirror token marks the series' most ambitious step yet into the crypto space.

While not its first venture—last year’s Smile Club from crypto startup Pixelynx introduced a gamified social experience inspired by the Season 3 episode “Nosedive”—this is the first time a token will be minted.

That earlier project rewarded users with experiences in exchange for social credit points, but stopped short of launching a full-fledged cryptocurrency.

Black Mirror has also made appearances in the Ethereum-based metaverse game The Sandbox, thanks to a licensing agreement with Banijay Brands—the same firm behind other TV-based crypto integrations, including one for Peaky Blinders.

Now, with the introduction of a token, the series is doubling down on its dystopian themes of surveillance and social ranking.

According to the project’s litepaper, decentralised platforms lack robust tools to measure authentic user engagement—something the team aims to address through an on-chain reputation system.

The litepaper reads:

“By analyzing both on-chain and social media user activity, leveraging our integrated virtual assistant to track user behavior, and conversation patterns, we can deliver a robust, gamified reputation scoring that is fair, transparent, and easily portable across the Web3 ecosystem and beyond.”

To participate, users must connect an Ethereum or Solana-compatible wallet and link their X account.

The blockchain(s) on which the token will be deployed have yet to be announced.
