About Story Protocol

Story Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain that tokenizes intellectual property (IP) for secure, programmable ownership and monetization. Built with the Cosmos SDK and EVM-compatible, it uses smart contracts to automate licensing, royalties, and IP management. 

Its Agent TCP/IP framework enables AI agents to exchange IP autonomously, while off-chain legal contracts ensure global enforceability. By turning IP into a trackable, tradable asset, Story Protocol provides a scalable infrastructure for the $61 trillion IP market in the age of AI.
