CDR is now live on our testnet, enabling the safe transfer of private data.
This milestone unlocks plenty of use cases, including:
1. Private on-chain data
2. Data marketplaces
3. Purchasing outputs of AI without ever revealing input data
Start building ↓
The next wave of AI depends on data that can’t be exposed.
Now with Confidential Data Rails (CDR), that constraint disappears.
▸ Data stays encrypted
▸ Access is defined upfront
▸ Secure pre-conditions held for decryption
Live now on testnet.

One of the toughest problems in IP is royalty management: opaque, rigid, and hard to enforce.
With on-chain programmable IP, royalties become transparent, auditable, and customizable.
Most royalty systems are rigid. Story makes them programmable.
From simple splits to complex investor-first waterfalls, you can define exactly how revenue flows across remixes and derivatives.
This is how programmable IP becomes programmable income.

Thrilled to have Sandeep on board as Chief AI Officer! His experience and vision will guide us as we push the boundaries of AI✨ Let's build 🦾
Introducing Story's new Chief AI Officer, @SPChinchali.
Sandeep is a professor at UT Austin focusing on GenAI, robotics, and distributed systems. He’s an ex-NASA researcher, early engineer of a startup acquired by VMware, and holds a Stanford PhD in AI and distributed systems.
As Chief AI Officer, Sandeep will lead Story's AI strategy, driving key incubations and advising the broader ecosystem on how to capture the immense AI opportunity ahead.
Sandeep’s work has long focused on how robots, sensors and ML models can learn from the messy physical world. Now he's bringing his expertise to web3 and Story.
That's because AI’s next leap isn’t about more GPUs. It’s about unlocking the most valuable (and underserved) category of IP: real-world data.
Sandeep's appointment is an important step towards achieving Story's Chapter 2 vision. Next week, this vision will come to life in a big way.
Stay tuned.
