• Story is a purpose-built L1 blockchain, co-founded by a serial entrepreneur with a $440M acquisition by Kakao and DeepMind’s youngest-ever PM, aimed at solving structural failures in the IP economy, especially in the era of generative AI.

• Story positions intellectual property (IP) as blockchain’s missing product-market fit by reimagining IP as a programmable asset, facilitating transparent attribution, automated licensing, and royalty settlement.

• Story’s L1 blockchain is optimized specifically for IP management, employing its Proof-of-Creativity (PoC) protocol, PIL (Programmable IP License), and C2PA integrations, ensuring both on-chain efficiency and legal enforceability off-chain.

• The Story ecosystem is expanding rapidly across consumer applications, AI integrations, and IPFi, with real-world use cases emerging through projects such as Aria Protocol tokenizing music royalties (BTS, BLACKPINK, Selena Gomez, etc.) and establishing tangible market validation.

• Story is laying foundational infrastructure for the autonomous agent economy through Agent TCP/IP and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, enabling AI agents to independently generate, license, and monetize IP, thus pioneering a new era of decentralized, autonomous, and collaborative economic activity.
