I believe that being an OG in the @StoryProtocol community is not only about contribution - it’s also a reflection of shared values.
In my view, the core meaning of an OG includes:
1️⃣Community Trust
Maintaining a reliable reputation, staying active in Discord and TG, helping newcomers, and attracting more users into Story.
2️⃣Content Creation
Continuously producing Story-related content - tutorials, cases, and IP works - to support @StoryEcosystem growth.
3️⃣Value Transmission
Using Story’s IP mechanism to help creators gain fair ownership and rewards, lowering the barrier for everyone to build and benefit from their own IP.
4️⃣Event Participation
OGs lead by example. Joining activities boosts community engagement and spreads Story to a larger audience, often with great rewards.
✨OG is not just a title - it’s continuous contribution, co-creation, and trust.
Whether Seeker, Adept, or Ascendant, anyone who keeps creating and contributing is moving toward OG. New roles like IP Lead and Ambassador offer even more ways to grow.
🔥Those who stay committed and consistently support Story are the ones who truly deserve to be OGs.
It's time to redefine what it means to be an OG of the Story community, and we're inviting the community to help.
Your input will shape clear and transparent standards for current and future OGs.
Meet this week’s OGs and new IP Lead, and tell us what being an OG means to you ↴
Shifting AI training beyond the open internet and into real-world voice data marks a major breakthrough.
A great step forward from the team at https://t.co/Kwy3etcKvF.
Join Numo Labs
And explore all the details in the post below 👇
AI was trained on the open internet, but the data that matters most lives in the real world.
Introducing early access to Numo, an app built to collect the next generation of AI training data.
Starting with voice data collection in Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Details ↴
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

The Story Ambassador program is growing where it matters most: the community.
We're welcoming two new ambassadors fully focused on the community. One dedicated to mentoring our OGs in the Labs, and the other supporting the community's day to day activities.
Meet them ↴
Buzzy new IP came to Story this week, including Galantis and RESCENE. Amid the hype, a couple of new ambassadors are also on the way.
The ecosystem keeps growing, with a vibrant community to match.
Let's recognize some new OGs ↴
We owe a lot of motion to the contributors at Story.
And while new ambassadors step forward, it's been some time since we welcomed new OGs and shuffled things up.
Let’s recognize some long awaited Day Ones ↴
In 1 year of Story mainnet:
▸ 5.6M+ IP registrations
▸ 90M+ transactions
▸ 13M+ onchain IP addresses
▸ 34k+ hours of real-world AI training data
▸ 405k+ data contributors worldwide
Happy 1 year anniversary, Story community.
In 2025, we built the foundation. Now we scale.
@StoryProtocol has continued to make steady progress, even as the team went through some adjustments. The decision to postpone team token unlocks shows strong confidence in the future of $IP and clear support for IP holders.
Mainstream culture is catching up to what AI builders already know:
Your identity is an asset.
It’s a core principle behind Story’s Programmable IP License (PIL), designed for IP rights, attribution, and payments directly onchain.

@StoryProtocol has just officially released this important update, and personally, I think it’s a very rational decision that’s friendly to long-term holders.
In the current market environment, many projects rush to unlock tokens, which often leads to heavy selling pressure and price crashes. Story, however, has chosen to delay the token unlocks for the foundation and some investors by six months.
Genie 3 by @GoogleAI makes playable fantasies. @OpenClaw lets agents run wild.
When content is this infinite, who owns what?
This is why we need the provenance layer for IP.
Improvements to reward distribution and lower staking fees greatly enhance the user experience for smaller stakers, while maintaining a good balance between accessibility and network security.
🌟Thoughts on Strengthening Sustainability & Accessibility in @StoryProtocol
✨SIP-00009
I believe SIP-00009 is a necessary and timely proposal that realistically adjusts the higher-than-expected token issuance caused by improved network performance.
Two new Story Improvement Proposals are now live.
• SIP-00009 recalibrates emissions and locked staking incentives for long-term sustainability.
• SIP-00010 reduces staking thresholds to expand community participation.
Read the proposals and weigh in ↓
✨SIP-00010
SIP-00010 is a very positive proposal that significantly lowers the barrier to entering staking. The previous minimum of 1024 IP was too high for smaller participants, and reducing it to 32 IP meaningfully improves accessibility and decentralization.
