Netflix's Black Mirror is no longer just fiction.

The concept for a new way for fans to live out some of the concepts of Netflix’s Black Mirror series is no longer just fiction. It is now offering fans a real way to live out some of its concepts thanks to a web3 project that combines blockchain, AI, and social scoring.

The team behind the show has launched the Black Mirror Experience token along with an interactive platform that gamifies online behavior, drawing clear inspiration from the show’s episode “Nosedive.” In it, every social interaction contributes to a public rating.

This time, though, it is not a dystopian script — it is happening live on-chain.

Users take part by connecting an Ethereum or Solana wallet and linking their X (formerly Twitter) profile. After signing in, they receive a Social ID Card, which acts as a unique NFT to track and log their behavior.

At the heart of the experience is Iris, a virtual assistant who is programmed to observe actions on social media and blockchain. She evaluates every move, including token trades, NFT activity, and community engagement. From this, she builds a score that can unlock content, airdrops, whitelist access, and more.

The official X account put it like this: “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.”

This initiative marks a significant step forward in the series' foray into the web3 domain. Having previously launched Smile Club, a platform where fans could earn points in a social simulation, and entered The Sandbox metaverse with themed spaces tied to different episodes, Black Mirror is now integrating NFTs, tokens, and AI-driven interaction in one package.

The platform encourages constructive behavior. Engaging positively with communities, holding tokens, and interacting thoughtfully across social media boost a user’s reputation. On the other hand, dumping assets or showing low-value engagement can leave a “stain” on a user’s score.

Reputation has value in this ecosystem. Higher scores increase the chance of receiving exclusive rewards, early access to features, and even influence over upcoming storylines. More than 60% of the token supply will go to the community, according to the development team.

The roadmap promises new features, including AI-driven coaching, live quests, on-chain wagering, and Tamagotchi-style mini-games to keep users engaged.

From TV to token

Black Mirror first arrived in 2011 under the creative direction of Charlie Brooker. It has built a reputation for exploring how new technology could take a wrong turn.

After its initial seasons, streaming giant Netflix picked up the show and introduced it to a wider global audience.

Episodes like “Nosedive,” “Metalhead,” and “USS Callister” have shaped how viewers think about the future of technology. Now, they can step into that future — by linking their wallets, watching their behavior, and letting Iris decide how far they get.
