How It Works

Stake on upcoming movies and earn real returns based on box office & critical performance

The Staking Process

1

Choose Your Movies

Browse our curated selection of upcoming blockbuster and indie films. Each movie page shows:

  • Cast, director & production details
  • Market hype score & historical comps
  • Trailer, synopsis & release date
  • Projected ROI range (conservative → optimistic)
2

Place Your Stake

Lock your UFH tokens before the staking window closes (usually 7–30 days before theatrical premiere).

  • 1 UFH Token = $1 USD fixed value
  • Minimum 10 tokens per movie
  • Tokens are locked until payout (45 days post-release)
  • Higher VIP tiers = higher max stake per film
3

Track Performance

Real-time data feed updates daily from release day:

  • Box office (Box Office Mojo + The Numbers)
  • Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, CinemaScore
  • Award nominations & wins
  • Social buzz & trending metrics
4

Earn Returns

Returns are calculated 45 days after worldwide theatrical premiere and paid automatically.

How Returns Are Calculated – Up to 1020% Possible

Our transparent Performance Index combines box office, critical, and cultural impact into a single score (0–1000+). The higher the index, the higher the multiplier on your stake.

Box Office Multiplier ×6 max

60% of final score

  • • 1.5× budget → ×2.0 multiplier
  • • 3× budget → ×4.0 multiplier
  • • 5×+ budget → ×6.0 multiplier (all-time blockbuster)

Critical & Audience Score ×3 max

25% of final score

  • • 90%+ RT + A CinemaScore → ×3.0
  • • 80–89% → ×2.0–2.8
  • • Certified Fresh + cultural phenomenon bonus

Awards & Cultural Impact ×7 max

15% of final score

  • • Oscar Best Picture win → ×7.0
  • • Multiple major wins (GG, BAFTA, etc.) → ×4–6
  • • “Cultural phenomenon” bonus (e.g., Barbie/Oppenheimer level)

Maximum Possible: 1020% ROI

Example: A $100,000 budget indie film that grosses $100M+, wins Best Picture, and becomes a cultural landmark can trigger the full ×6 (box office) + ×3 (audience) + ×7 (awards) = ×16 multiplier on the performance pool → top stakers receive up to 10.2× their stake (1,020% total return).

Typical Blockbuster (Top Gun: Maverick) ×5.5 ×2.8 ×1.5 ×9.8 880%
Average Performer ×1.8 ×1.5 ×1.0 ×4.3 330%
