1/ Today is exciting for me
Iโm thrilled to announce @StoryProtocol with @storysylee, @jasonzhao, and a crazy talented team ๐ฑ
And Iโm grateful to @a16zcrypto for leading $54M of funding
Our mission: harness the creative power of the internet era
What's that mean? Read on๐
Take a trip to Caridea Island and meet The Neighbours, the newest destination in the Programmable IP universe brought to life by @mycelium_io in collaboration with @Mindblowon_io studios.

Honored to join 2 panels at Berkeley's Blockchain Innovation Forum to chat about @StoryProtocol
Especially great to discuss the interplay between blockchain and AI ๐ค
Big thanks to @BerkeleyRDI ๐
I have been working on building a Developer Sandbox to help developers learn & build on @StoryProtocol
It is still in beta and will be for a long time, but check it out! ๐ https://t.co/MfdiztYnL7
We are bringing Programmable IP to the 2.5 million users creating collaboratively on @magma_com
Their creators generate around 10 million artworks a year
Studios using Magma have worked with Lucasfilm, Disney, DreamWorks, and more
Announcing our partnership with @myshell_ai
Story Protocol will empower over 1M AI creators on MyShell via Programmable IP
MyShell model & app creators can:
๐ Register their AI models as IP on-chain
๐ฐ Set usage/monetization terms for model licensing
๐๏ธ Track model outputs
Announcing our partnership with @ritualnet
We are bringing crypto and AI together. AI models on Ritual can be registered seamlessly as IP Assets on Story Protocol
Programmable IP ๐ค AI

Loved meeting leadership of @magma_com, an early integration partner of @StoryProtocol
Magma: a collaborative art platform that unlocks creativity for all. Now with easy licensing captured on chain ๐งฉ
Spread your art ๐จ
Introducing Story Protocol, the Programmable IP Layer.
Story Protocol transforms IPs into networks that transcend mediums and platforms, unleashing global creativity and liquidity.

We've talked to 100s of developers excited about building on Story Protocol.
After this, you'll be ready to build programmable IP apps too.
Here's how Story Protocol works ๐งต๐
Our first hackathon concluded with a bang! ๐ฅ
๐ We had people from Guatemala, UK, Italy, and one person even flew 35 hours from South Africa to join us for the event!
Even though we purposefully kept participation to 20 people, we wound up with nine teams presenting their projects for almost three hours. The breadth of use cases went beyond our expectations, given it was only a two-day hackathon (Gen-AI, ZK proof, IP graph, social remixing, licensing pools, etc.)
Below are some of the projects we found particularly interesting:
๐ฌ Webthreen: This incorporates generative AI and Story as the web3 Webtoon to lower the barrier for visual storytelling and co-creation (character, scene, multi-media experience). Each component is automatically registered as an IP Asset on Story and is easily licensable to studios, collaborators, or the community.
๐ค ZkKYC: Leveraging the power of succinct ZK proofs, this project can connect with existing major platforms like Coinbase or government platforms to provide proofs of KYC without revealing information. Whether for licensing requirements or capital formation (royalty pools), builders on Story can leverage the hook feature, along with service providers, to connect off-chain data with on-chain requirements.
๐๏ธ 7007 Studio: Presented a Gen-AI marketplace that assists artists in creating their own fine-tuned model and provides monetization opportunities by leveraging https://t.co/571jPZRWPw, an ERC-721 extension interface for zkML based AIGC-NFTs. Each output asset is automatically registered as IP Asset on Story, providing clear attribution for the model usage and potential revenue distribution.
Thank you to the incredible talent and thoughtful builders who joined us to dig into Story Protocol in such an exciting way to close out 2023!
