The Story community is full of energy, passion, and talent.
Our OG Program celebrates those who show up, support others, and bring the community to life. As we launch the Ambassador Program, we turn to OGs who have shown the skill and drive to lead.
These are the newest OGs ↴
This week’s batch of five:
@Adetola: A familiar face in general chat and a key member of the Nigerian community, Adetola is always active in conversation and support. Today, he returns to the OG Room as a Seeker.
@insidiusz: Hamza has never stopped supporting Story, from Discord to Twitter. His steady presence and dedication to the community earn him a well deserved return to the Seeker role.
@abigrafikvarmi: Dsad becomes an Adept, a well earned step up for the one of the first supporters from the Turkish community. His X threads, participation across the ecosystem, and consistent presence on mainnet have made him a standout contributor.
@taku0x: Taku is now an Adept, recognized for his influence and consistency. His tweets reached the top spots on Kaito and sparked a wave of inspiration across the community. His voice continues to shape the way people talk about Story, IP, and art.
@coha05_: Coha steps into the Adept role today. As the community’s largest validator contributor, with over 4 million IP stacked on his channel, he’s become the go-to person for anyone exploring the validator world.

AI's next leap isn't about bigger models. It's about IP and its most valuable category: Real-world Data.
Story is building the AI-native infrastructure for this $70T IP economy.
Here’s what’s ahead ↓
Since launching mainnet, we’ve been heads down building Story to make IP programmable, enforceable, and monetizable at internet speed.
Story's next phase focuses on:
• Data pipelines for training physical AI
• Tokenizing global IP beyond music & fashion
• Turning viral chaos into owned, monetizable IP
AI's next frontier is physical and it requires IP-cleared, real-world data. Story is building the licensing layer for this $70T+ opportunity.
From robots that see in rain and fog to brands turning viral UGC into owned IP, we’re laying the rails for an AI-native IP economy.
The IP Portal isn’t just where you register IP. It’s where your IP monetizes.
Integrations with @ABLO_Official, @verio_story, & @Posterdotfun unlock new ways for IP holders to generate revenue and expand reach on a growing network of apps.
At block 1,580,851, token emissions on Story have officially begun.
Story’s time-weighted staking model, inspired by DeFi mechanics, incentivizes community members that are here for the long-term.
Details ↴
Staking secures the Story blockchain and fuels the future of IP.
With token emissions now live, each block distributes 1.9477989871 IP tokens, totaling 55,555 IP per day at a 3-second block time.
Who can participate in staking on Story:
• Anyone with a minimum of 1,024 tokens can create a validator.
• Anyone can delegate stake permissionlessly to any validator.
• The top 64 validators ranked by stake form the active set.
If you don't meet the token minimum, you can use a third-party liquid staking provider. Always DYOR before engaging with projects.
We will ship the IP Portal, the home page of Story that allows users to register IP seamlessly and browse IP registered across any app on Story.
We will also ship our Attestation Service, a decentralized oracle network that brings IP validation signals (identity of the creator, infringement detection, etc) onchain.
