About

Story is making the legal system for creative Intellectual Property (IP) more efficient by turning IP "programmable" on the blockchain. To do this, we have created Story Network: a general purpose layer 1 blockchain where people or programs alike can license, remix, and monetize IP according to transparent terms set by creators themselves.
