What is Story ?

Story: the blockchain transforming intellectual property into programmable digital assets 💡

In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly generates and consumes content, managing intellectual property (IP) becomes a critical issue. Story offers an innovative solution with a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to tokenizing IP, enabling creators to protect, monetize, and manage their works transparently and automatically.

What is Story? 🧠

Story is a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for intellectual property management. It allows creators to transform their works (texts, images, music, AI models, etc.) into digital assets called "IP tokens". These tokens embed information about usage rights, licenses, and royalties, ensuring automated and secure IP management.

The IP token: at the heart of the Story ecosystem 💰

Story's native token, IP, serves several essential functions:

• Transaction fees: IP tokens are used to pay fees on the Story network.
• Registration and validation: they enable the recording and validation of IP assets on the blockchain.
• Licensing and commercial rights: holders can use the token to acquire licenses and usage rights.
• Governance: users can participate in decisions regarding protocol development.
• Staking: tokens can be staked to secure the network and validate transactions.
• Revenue distribution: creators automatically receive royalties when their IP is used.

A solution tailored for the AI era 🤖

With the rise of AI, the creation and use of digital content are multiplying. Story provides an infrastructure that allows AI agents to:

• Access training data: AI models can legally acquire data to improve their performance.
• Monetize their creations: AI-generated content can be tokenized and monetized via the blockchain.
• Respect copyright: programmable licenses ensure that usage conditions are met.

Programmable IP License: smart contracts for IP 📜

Story introduces the concept of "Programmable IP License", smart contracts that define IP usage conditions. These licenses allow for:

• Automated management: royalties and usage rights are handled without human intervention.
• Increased transparency: all transactions and uses are recorded on the blockchain.
• Usage flexibility: creators can precisely define how their work can be used.

A project backed by major investors 🚀

Story has raised significant funds from major investors, showing strong confidence in the project and its potential to revolutionize IP management in the digital age.
