The last 4 years building Story led us to this moment. Today, we're becoming The DATA Foundation and building the trust layer for AI training data. Proud to lead Developer Relations as we bring the world's best developers into the AI data economy. Let's F*CKING go! 🙌

I got to introduce @ILLIT_official onto the stage tonight after Origin Summit Here’s their Billboard Global top 10 song “Magnetic” with over 250m views on YouTube What a magical day 🤯

No more Mr. Nice Guy. The Story whitepaper is released.

$IP staking follows a Fair Launch principle: - No early rewards for the foundation or contributors - The Singularity Period allows everyone time to stake before rewards start - Rewards begin equally for all after the Big Bang event Story 💗 Community

As I build AI Agents, I'm noticing how many different APIs I'm using and how annoying it is to track them all • open ai - to generate text • grok - tap into crypto twitter • deepseek - use reasoning models • flux - finetune images • perplexity - knows about recent events + the list goes on... For each I need to generate an API key, pay a bill to get credits, integrate each separately, etc It's not sustainable in the long run Although potentially not intended, we're already seeing different models become better than others at certain tasks And as time goes on, they will continue to rely on other agents more and more to do tasks for them To solve this, we need a way for agents to communicate with each other One agent is really good at fine-tuning images, but needs to ask another agent that knows about crypto twitter insights to generate text The Agent TCP/IP framework from @StoryProtocol solves this It describes an agent<->agent transaction standard for agents to grow & monetize each others' IP Agent 1 needs to license Agent 2 to create an image for it, so it: 1. asks Agent 2 for an output 2. Agent 2 creates agreement terms, outlining the initial cost & any future revenue share agreements 3. Agent 1 agrees to those terms 4. Agent 1 mints a license with those terms 5. Agent 2 creates the output Then, someone could create a single endpoint that knows how to interact with all these different APIs A single AI Agent could aggregate all this data and know how to properly pay for & license IP from all these different models No longer having to create an account and pay 10 different models and track all of them at the same time

I’m sick to my stomach

From our first public testnet to developer mainnet in less than 5 months Building extremely fast 🏗️🏎️

My experience at ETHDenver 2025: - The people bear posting about main event attendance were either click-baiting or didn't find good side events - Hacker houses that know what they're doing like @sozuhaus are, for lack of a better term, fucking amazing with top-tier builders and vibes - More than ever, builders & non-builders alike are completely aligned on being brutally honest about where we are as a space, and are looking for real applications - No matter what problem you're solving for, everyone recognizes & talks about the importance of programmable IP and protecting user data in the midst of LLMs. It was the most common theme across the entire event - Hosting your own hackathon (like the Super Agent Hackathon @StoryProtocol) is way more +EV for marketing & dev rel than sponsoring main ETHDenver bounties - Most AI Agents are still "Chat GPT" wrappers, but are doing WAY more than they were a year ago - @redphone nailed it when he said this year's ETHDenver was a convergence, imo between AI <> Crypto <> IP, and an existential understanding across the industry that - even if not immediately - data ownership is necessary Overall I am leaving with a newfound optimism that although seemingly obvious to many, people in this space are really smart and are doing amazing things 💪

Justin Bieber is coming to Story Music is IP 🎶 Learn how to register YOUR music on Story: docs.story.foundation/docs/h…

"Artisan" - A Short Film

Tomorrow 👀

We are less than 2 weeks away from permission-less deployment on @flow_blockchain MainNet (~June 15th) I am so excited, and very nervous. Let's all be aware of what is coming to ensure the Flow community stays safe 💚 Here's another thread🧵like I did a month ago

Poseidon is now live at app.psdn.ai 🔱 Get rewarded for helping to train the future of specialized, IP-cleared LLMs.

ChatGPT is changing how we shop. The next frontier? IP licensing. What if you could find & license a song for your travel vlog... instantly ↓

Aria has one of the cleanest app designs I've seen in crypto You can invest in & earn from the world's top IPs ↴ • Justin Bieber • BTS • aespa • Miley Cyrus + more Own the iconic.

Story is built to tackle the biggest issue we currently face across every application on the internet Here's how I understand it ⤵️ We are currently experiencing a "Tragedy of the Commons" situation in AI Preventing us from living in a digital Renaissance What does this mean? 1) AI is training on all of our data 2) Users stop visiting sites organically. This makes sense, because AI is simply better & faster than Google 3) This breaks the old contract of the internet, where if you made good content, you could consume Ad revenue by getting clicks/visits 4) Users only go to AI to summarize data 5) There is no incentive to create anymore 6) AI has no more training data 7) Lose.... lose. How can we prevent this? Register your IP. But... that takes time. Courts. Lawyers. Money. TIME. AI is producing a superabundance of content with ever-increasing quality An antiquated legal system cannot keep up with it So we take IP and make it ꧁programmable꧂ by putting it on a purpose-built blockchain Designed specifically to optimize IP graphs and royalty distribution across millions of assets We give IP owners complete control over their data And allow them to attach transparent agreement terms to their IP So instead of blaming AI, we encourage it to continue training on data, but maintain respect for the terms of IP owners When AI gets paid, so does the training data Win.... win. Oh, and IP is a $61,000,000,000,000 asset class by the way ꧁STORY꧂ 🤝 ꧁MAINSTREAM꧂

"What does Story do for IP?" Here is a fun & interactive demo in less than 1 minute. License and monetize your IP across the internet 💫

‼️Finetuning with AI just got so much easier Just today, @bfl_ml announced FLUX Pro Finetuning API, an extremely simple & powerful way to produce finetuned images with AI 📚I created a whole tutorial for you to learn how to use it in TypeScript: docs.story.foundation/docs/f…

Hey guys how do I explain to my mom that someone made a memecoin of me dancing with our blind dog ?? And it's at 20k market cap ??

On Story, you can mint custom private licenses Let's say you made a song, and want to license it to different streaming platforms at different costs You can do this by minting licenses with terms not attached to the IP (which would make it public) ↴

You can now mint commercial legal licenses on-chain using $ETH on @base 🤯 Base developers can now integrate 1-click licensing into their DApp using Onchainkit ↴

Story provides programmable IP infra to apps @magma_com is a browser-based art collaboration platform that enables over 3m+ artists You can add a creative IP license to your work that → protects your work from AI → specifies how others can remix it Create together 💕🎨

tbt to when I was making smart contract coding tutorials at 3am on a friday night in my college dorm for 5 subscribers XD if youre passionate about something, just do it #devrel

It is with great pleasure and over year of work that I am proud to say... Story, launching on Thursday.

You can now mint commercial legal licenses on @AbstractChain Using Abstract's slick wallet and their new build.abs.xyz, I created a way for developers to integrate licensing directly into their apps ↴

I come back from vacation and see... 1/ $IP listing on @Official_Upbit 2/ NASDAQ listed company @HeritageDistill announced a $360M $IP token reserve, a public market bet on licensed data infrastructure for IP 3/ A @Grayscale Story Trust Should I go back on vacation???

Introducing $IP - the underlying store of value for the next digital renaissance. Onboarding IP’s $61 trillion market cap to the blockchain and making it programmable is necessary for AI’s survival. ꧁IP꧂ is inevitable.

x402 validates so much of what we've been thinking about at Story when it comes to agent cooperation nearly a year ago, @devrelius wrote an academic paper on how the specialization of AI agents will require them to have a standard for negotiation today, x402 looks quite familiar to this past research, except now it is embedded directly into existing web standards and enables buyers to pay however they please excited to explore how this can practically enable the next era of digital licensing

Had a great time talking about Agents and ꧁IP꧂ at @sozuhaus In a world of content superabundance, Story enables the growth & monetization of IP. And for agents: provides a protocol for agent-to-agent transactions for them to programmatically exchange each others IP.

A huge update is coming to #Cadence, the smart contract language used by @flow_blockchain: 📥Attachments What are they and how do we code them? 👇🧵

What if you could use @apple pay  to purchase a creative IP license?

Holy crap... @hobbikats, the owner of Evil Larry, just claimed their IP on ip.world • 1.1M followers on TikTok • 660k followers on Instagram They now earn lp fees and 3% allocation from every token using Larry. And it's currently $900,000+ in rewards 🤯

Solana trenches are dying. Why is this happening and how do we fix it?

Late Friday night coding on @AbstractChain. Life is good!! Making a Quickstart for Abstract devs to seamlessly add licensing into their DApps without needing a @StoryProtocol wallet. It's all handled for you!

Story provides programmable IP infra to apps One example is @ipdotworld, a platform that licenses an IP and allows others to trade on it IP owners get → 3% of all related tokens vested over 3 months → lp fees As of right now, @Hobbikats has ALREADY EARNED $200k+ from $larry

A sneak peak of RCADE - the world's most enjoyable music remixing platform for anyone! • Professional-grade remixing, right in your browser • IP-backed music powered by Story • Seamless export to TikTok & others + more Closed beta launching soon 🔜

한국에 따뜻하게 맞아 주셔서 감사합니다. 많이 보고 싶을 거예요. ❤️

introducing @cluely we sell your data, provide fake testimonials, revoke your use at any time, and steal your private keys cheat on everything

What if @apple music let you mint a license to commercially remix your favorite song?

$ip is the #1 traded coin on @Official_Upbit Sidelined? Happy Sunday!

Never pass me on Kaito again

I actually think this is a super pessimistic/stagnant take on how AI is going to impact the industry There's no more demand for spinning up random SaaS companies with Stripe payments when AI agents can just do the underlying service for you directly And not only that, but running locally on your computer completely for free (hey @deepseek_ai) We need to look for new ways to tap into the financial sector I believe Intellectual Property, with a whopping $61T market cap, is primed to be the next wave of finance More specifically, creating a protocol that allows agents and humans alike to trade, grow, and monetize IP IP is being created at a superabundance with AI, yet there's no way to automate & transparently transact on it What if you could earn passive income just from AI Agents training on your data? Or register your IP on the blockchain and have it immediately earn revenue across entire industries every time its remixed/used? So, here's what you really need to make a million dollars in 2025 (and beyond):

Holy shit Baby Shark is the #1 most watched YouTube video EVER The company behind it Pinkfong just tokenized their IP for anyone to invest in ON STORY🔥🔥🔥

I'm obsessed with Music x IP right now. Designing the most fun tiktok-style music remixing app you'll ever use. All IP-verified on @StoryProtocol so you never have to worry about copyright.

How does Story actually protect IP? A high-level overview below ↴

Poseidon gathered over 5 million audio data submissions in under 2 weeks. It is on track to becoming one of the largest audio datasets in the world. Today, they released the whitepaper ↴

When I initially joined Story, one of the things that struck me was how truly meaningful & thoughtful Story's vision was. And it's no wonder why I felt this way given Jason's background in political science & AI, both critically related to Story's foundation. And of course, my friends @devrelius and @WeileiY who I would pick up a sword for even if it was 3 vs. 1,000. Those that really know me know that I tend to lead with constant pessimism and "devil's advocacy". I think this is a necessary trait for dev rels, whose core task is to cut through the never-ending weeds of new technology & solutions to get to the core of what really matters. Yet with Story, even I have found a true purpose and belief that my work will change the world. Amongst all the noise, if you have the time, read Jason's post below. And if you're still curious, check out our whitepaper: story.foundation/whitepaper.… I truly believe you'll be blown away.

"What happens if my IP earns royalties on a different chain?" That's okay! You can easily forward any payments made to an IP on another chain using @debridge dlnHooks. For example, an IP earns $ETH on Base and then properly distributes it up the royalty graph on Story.

Remixing is one of the most rapid & popular forms of content in the age of AI. First it was Studio Ghibli. Then it was South Park. Both immediately shut down & faced with copyright consequences. Instead, licensing should be exposed directly in the app layer.

Story has taken the red bean and entered the world of Azuki 🗡️

Story’s Developer Mainnet is now live! Want to catch up on all things Story? Check out our documentation ⤵️ docs.story.foundation

When TikTok removes your sound, your content either dies or you are forced to replace the sound with something that doesn't fit. What if you could mint a license retroactively?

(1) Permission-less deployment to MainNet is coming soon on the @flow_blockchain (~June 15th) This is AWESOME. But we also must all be aware of the potential risks at play and ensure the Flow community stays healthy. Here's a thread 🧵

I just spent over 24 hours judging 100+ submissions for our latest buildathon at Story Here is my best, no-bullshit advice for people who want to WIN BUILDATHONS 👇🔖

I built an ꧁IP꧂ plugin for Eliza 🏗️ The on-chain AI agent can: • Register IP that it will own • License IP from other agents • Attach license terms to its IP + more Here's how I did it 🧵⤵️

Here's one of the best workshops I've ever done, recorded live at ETHDenver: What is Story? How do AI Agents transact on IP? How can I use the Story SDK?

gm 😊

At every event I go to, someone always asks: "If Story registers IP on-chain, isn't the data exposed? What if I want to license private data?" We heard you, and we solved it. Introducing IP Vault, a confidential on-chain storage solution 🧵

Spending the late night learning how to code iOS apps! Vibe coding is incredible for many reasons, but it has corrupted the passion I had for software The "art" of learning & coding that initially got me into computer science has slowly drifted away Hoping to spark it again 🎇

How to disallow AI from training on your IP Using the Story SDK

So uh wtf is going on on my timeline rn 😂😂😂 I guess I now have a ton of students. Buckle up lads, this class isn’t gonna be easy!

Just had the incredibly opportunity to introduce @LucaNetz @Zagabond @spencer to the stage at Origin Summit The founders behind the most famous crypto-native IPs preaching live 🔥🔥🔥

This post is why I am so proud to be at Story. It is with incredible determination and effort by our team combined with major Web2 success by SY to be able to list all of the following: → Brought Justin Bieber, Black Pink, BTS and more on-chain via @Aria_Protocol → $IP mainstream with public vehicle on NASDAQ → Stability partnership → Recently listed on @Official_Upbit & @RevolutApp → Incubated @psdnai ($15m seed led by a16z) for AI + robotics data → a16z first-ever crypto treasury reserve investment in a public company → CNBC interview → Grayscale Trust → Backed by $136m from a16z, Polychain, and Samsung Ventures → @magma_com using Story to protect the art of 3m+ users → @ipdotworld creating a new era of IP-backed "memecoins" that are paying millions+ in revenue to IP owners → Crocs partnership on @ABLO_Official → Unlock an entirely new IPFi economic model via @verio_story → ... and much, much more This is a team that understands its vision and crucial NEED to provide properly licensed & highly-specialized IP for the future of AI... And will work relentlessly to achieve it.

$1.2 million earned by creators on @ipdotworld just from owning the viral IP behind the tokens They launched ~1.5 months ago @brainrotmanager is saving the trenches

monetize your $ip harness its virality across the internet ip owners get a stake in every coin they inspire coming soon 👀

ETHDenver if officially over The last Ippy has been claimed 🫶🏼

Many hours into judging the SWA buildathon. 50 projects judged so far, almost halfway 🏁 Watching each demo, reviewing the code, and continuously impressed by the incredible effort of ~90% of participants. Great job everybody 👏

I remember paying an artist like $40 on @fiverr 4 years ago to make a profile picture of me for a random project I was doing in college Now, we're all generating Studio Ghibli pictures basically for free And it happens immediately And they're way better This is insanely cool. I have watched every single Studio Ghibli film and been an anime fan since I was a kid. I genuinely get so happy looking at pictures like this because it unlocks the childhood wonder that Ghibli gives you But this is also an EXISTENTIAL issue for artists. We are officially at a point where Fiverr artists are completely fucked Completely fucked This is the most REAL issue we have right now. Fiverr artists are out of business. Why would someone ever pay them for services? We need a way to give artists (& creators) a way to own and monetize their work across the entire internet Such that every time an AI generates a picture using their art style, they get paid a portion of that revenue We need @StoryProtocol 👋 Right now, artists can legally register their art on portal.story.foundation and decide if AI is allowed to train on their work And it is legally enforceable in any US copyright court system And enforced PROGRAMMATICALLY, plugged into the existing legal system from code So that ChatGPT can tap into the legal terms like an API Hayao Miyazaki should be earning millions right now from ChatGPT 4o This is the future we are fighting for at Story Anyways, here's me in my classic video position 🙂

Every remix created on @rcade_co officially licenses the stems that it uses. Each stem specifies: → Can it be used commercially? → What is the price? → What's the revenue share? Licenses powered by @StoryProtocol

So cool to meet one of my crypto idols @ysiu and introduce him on stage Joined by Ryan Seungkyu Lee, the founder behind the #1 most watched YouTube video Baby Shark Main takeaway: the tokenization of IP is more important than ever

We launched our Mainnet 5 months ago. Today, $IP has institutional rails via a Grayscale Trust.

Coming soon @psdnai 🔱

Story's upcoming launch will provide the world a global registry of IP It will start as an empty bucket 🪣 Yet immediately be filled with IP around the world Ranging from open worlds and stories initially created on pen & paper (@emergenceverse)... to the most popular songs worth millions (*cough* Justin Bieber's "Peaches" 🍑) This bucket will quickly overflow and evolve into a vast network of IP throughout the next hundreds, thousands of years 🌐 Allowing you to transact & monetize on it programmatically, powered by Story's L1 blockchain + protocol Such that AI agents and humans alike can trade & earn on their IP instantaneously So I say to you: let it grow, let it evolve into the overflowing network 🌐. Let us all be amazed by how the world embraces something that previously was not possible And watch as it unlocks an entirely new financial asset class and revenue models for creatives around the world
