Training a large language model takes trillions of words.
That’s books, tweets, papers, blogs. In other words, IP.
With the right systems to track and reward contribution, AI training becomes a positive-sum game.
In the age of AI and digital theft, protecting your work is no longer a choice — it's a necessity. That's why Story Protocol was created: to help creators keep their work valuable and protected.

What’s the point if Story can’t change the law or stop theft?
What happens when revenue is offchain?
Isn’t IP just a boomer relic in the age of AI?

This week’s batch of five:
@PWenzhen76938: Peiwenzhen becomes a Seeker today after being a constant supporter of Story even before the launch of mainnet. Despite not having an OG role back then, her commitment never wavered, recently ranking #1 in the Chinese community chats and staying active across events. A well-deserved spot in the OG Room.
@zheng_yida: YiDA, one of Story’s earliest supporters, finally takes his place in the OG Room as a Seeker. His long-term involvement since before the launch of mainnet shows the true spirit of dedication we value in our community, from Old OG to now.
@fairytothemoon: After a steady creative journey filled with Story content since the beginning, Fairy officially joins the OG Room as a Seeker. Her passion and consistency have stood out from day one, and today we celebrate it as she starts leveling up.
@SiriusTrader_: Sirius earns his Seeker role today, locking in his spot in the OG Room. From network testing to regional chats and being one of the few to publish NFT-related content, he’s been a steady presence since the early days and a true supporter of Story.
@Danzeronero: Razor ascends to Seeker and joins the OG Room thanks to his genuine community engagement, long-time onchain activity, and even putting together an animated artwork to celebrate Mushy’s Birthday with the Indonesian community. A true example of Story spirit.

This is a great step to protect IP. Story Protocol isn’t on those platforms yet, but I’m sure it will be soon, and then we IP owners can rest easy.

This morning routine got 712.5M views and 210k likes on X
Uploaded from an account that didn't even make the video
Yet again, a content creator misses out on millions of $ because the content is siloed to TikTok
What's the solution? Simply putting it on-chain "fixes" this. But it does not solve it
Sure, this guy could upload the video to the blockchain and have proof of ownership
Some web3 social platforms have even tried tokenizing media, opening up DeFi speculation around posts
But this is just overcomplicating and polluting social media, using it as a front for a DeFi app due to social media's PMF in web2
Additionally, the simple tokenization of content is already solved, more feasible, and more intuitive on the most popular consumer facing DApps we have today: token creation platforms like pump fun
Who are already recognizing the importance of creator revenue (look here: https://t.co/HDlvSZiVi2) and seeing memecoins for what they are - the most pure form of the IP lifecycle
Not to mention @ipdotworld who saw this months ago and already have a live platform that lets you trade IP-backed memecoins (a creator already has $150k+ on their platform to claim!)
Ultimately we need a way to transcend media - and this morning routine guy's entire brand/personality - to the entire internet
You need a chain DESIGNED for IP, one that is already integrated with US copyright court systems
What if he could add a real, legally binding license - based on US copyright law - to his video on-chain in 1 click?
One that can be disputed on or brought to court?
One that can be licensed programmatically in seconds, allowing anyone (people or AI Agents alike) to legally use his IP or brand immediately without complex negotiation?
Instead of individually negotiating terms that costs money, time, and lawyers - let the creator transparently decide his own terms and allow anyone to agree to them instantly
Imagine the amount of missed branding deals, co-marketing, and advertisement simply because there's no easy way to negotiate his creativity
@StoryProtocol was built for this - a purpose-built layer 1 blockchain for Intellectual Property
Monetize your IP across the entire internet
