Netflix’s Black Mirror series goes onchain with Sequence and KOR Protocol

Black Mirror, Netflix’s acclaimed sci-fi anthology, is venturing into uncharted territory: onchain storytelling.

In partnership with KOR Protocol, Sequence, and Msquared, the franchise has launched the $MIRROR token and a new participatory experience that invites fans to cross the screen, transforming from spectators into part of the story.

This new chapter is launched in partnership with Sequence, the modular infrastructure platform that makes it simple to onboard millions of users, manage digital economies, and turn creativity into scalable onchain ecosystems.

KOR Protocol: Empowering creators through decentralized IP innovation

KOR Protocol is reimagining how creative IP lives and thrives onchain. Built to empower creators, studios, and entertainment brands, KOR turns intellectual property into programmable, verifiable assets that can be tracked, licensed, and monetized with full transparency.

Supported by Animoca Brands, KOR brings together blockchain infrastructure and AI-powered tools to create a foundation for future-proof entertainment economies. Its open framework gives creators the ability to build, share, and scale their IP directly with fans and developers, removing friction from licensing, royalties, and rights management.

The KOR vision is simple: to make digital ownership and collaboration effortless. The protocol introduces a decentralized layer for IP registration and usage tracking, combined with systems that automate revenue sharing, attribution, and creator control. It’s a model built for a post-AI world, where trust, proof, and participation matter more than ever.

Stepping into the story: The Black Mirror experience and $MIRROR token

The Netflix series, Black Mirror, has long explored our uneasy relationship with technology, identity, and control. It holds a unique place in popular culture because each episode reflects a twisted mirror of our possible futures and potential outcomes based on the actions individuals set out to take.

With the new Black Mirror Experience, that reflection becomes participatory. Fans step into the narrative and influence it. Built on KOR Protocol’s infrastructure, the Black Mirror Experience uses the IP registration, licensing, and metadata standards of KOR to bring the IP to web3.

The $MIRROR token serves as the core access point to this immersive onchain universe. Far beyond a simple fan token, it enables holders to become active participants. It airdropped on September 8 and saw over 400,000 registrations.

The token’s ecosystem includes:

• “Social IDs” NFTs that act as evolving digital identities inside the ecosystem. These NFTs track a user’s onchain engagement and reputation
• A reputation engine (Iris), including a dashboard where users can track and earn reputation, and unlock deeper access; the more you engage, the more you can shape the story.
• Governance and creative influence: $MIRROR holders gain voting rights, access to exclusive content, and have a say in future storyline or experience directions.

The Black Mirror Experience and $MIRROR bridge the gap between narrative fiction and interactive chain-based reality. Fans become participants, tokens become keys, and the story becomes something your online identity helps shape.

"Black Mirror has always been a reflection of how technology shapes who we are. The Black Mirror Experience is the first time that reflection becomes active. It invites people to cross the screen, to become a measurable part of the narrative itself. Every action, every token, every interaction builds a mirror of the community. Together with KOR Protocol and Sequence, we’re using onchain systems not as spectacle, but as storytelling devices. Ownership, reputation, and consequence now exist within the world of Black Mirror."
Inder Phull, Creator of the Black Mirror Experience
