Story

Story provides the tools for iconic IP like SmileyWorld to come to life in brand new ways, connecting Web3 & AI innovation to creator-driven economies. This is how Story transforms brands into IP powerhouses.

We're launching the Story Genesis Collection, onboarding the first wave of top creators securing their craft and redefining their relationship with technology. We are working in tandem to set a new standard for fair treatment in the digital economy. As AI threatens to devalue the unique voices and skills of millions of creatives, Story is stepping up with a decentralized IP platform that reclaims control for creators. It offers a legally enforceable way for artists to license their work, receive royalties, and protect their intellectual property rights in the digital age. Learn more about how Story is helping artists embrace this new frontier in our latest blog post below.

Story's final testnet, Odyssey, is live! Nearly 100 ecosystem partners are building blockchain's next killer apps, and we've got some early access and previews of over 20 projects rolling out with Odyssey.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Ippy and the Story team

🚀 Join Us in Shaping the Future of Creativity on the Internet! 🚀 At Story, we're on a mission to transform how creativity is shared, managed, and valued online. The internet has unlocked endless ways for creators to produce, remix, and distribute their work — yet outdated intellectual property (IP) systems still stand in the way of true creative collaboration and innovation. Our goal? Build the IP infrastructure that enables an open, growth-driven creative economy. We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to join us in bringing this vision to life. You'll work closely with our leadership, especially the CPO, to drive the execution of Story’s product roadmap. This is an opportunity to help us pioneer a new IP infrastructure layer, where creators can seamlessly track, share, and evolve their work — from prose and images to audio and beyond — and capture value from shared IP. 🔑 Key Responsibilities: - Lead product execution to align with our broader mission and market needs. - Own the product lifecycle, from concept to launch, focusing on efficient delivery. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams (engineering, design, developer relations) to enhance the user experience. - Translate user feedback into actionable improvements and continuous roadmap development. - Drive the integration of smart contracts, scalability, and protocol advancements. 💡 Who You Are: - 4+ years in product management with strong execution skills, ideally in blockchain/crypto. - Experienced with smart contracts, protocol-based architecture, and driving complex projects to completion. - A problem solver and communicator with a knack for turning big ideas into action. - Ideally Bay Area-based, available to work in person 3 days a week. - Excited about using blockchain to support a creator-driven internet, DM me or take a look at the full JD here: https://lnkd.in/g8zdN4Ub #ProductManager #BlockchainJobs #Web3 #CreatorEconomy #Hiring

Over 40 teams submitted projects built on Story during ETHGlobal SF's hackathon! Two of the prize-winning teams stopped by Story HQ to connect with our team, hang out, and get feedback on their work. We had one major question though: Why are they building on Story? Check out what they had to say about developing the future of IP in the video below!

Intellectual Property Finance (IPFi) is a new frontier taking shape and it holds the key to transforming how we manage, value, and leverage IP. For creators, innovators, and developers, IPFi represents the tools and infrastructure enabling IP to integrate seamlessly into the decentralized ecosystem. Explore more about this new idea in our blog!

Story is at ETHGlobal Pragma and SF this week! Come stop by our booth, say hello to our team, and grab some swag if you’re attending!

Read my article in Stanford Blockchain Review by Stanford Blockchain Club titled "Story: The World's IP Blockchain," to learn more about how decentralized infrastructure helps creators monetize their work in the age of AI. Throughout the volume, Stanford University—and especially the folks around Jay Yu and Kole Lee—continue to deliver excellent intellectual and technical observations on the most critical topics of today's Web3 ecosystem beyond the casino. Besides the tremendous macro content by Andreessen Horowitz's editorial team around Sonal Chokshi and Robert Hackett, this is probably the best resource if you're looking for unopinionated, deep-dive knowledge on industry trends. https://lnkd.in/gPyrvvXF
