Story Network's Onchain IP

Sponsor: Mantle — Mass adoption of decentralized & token-governed technologies.

1. 📱 Composer Actions. Warpcast, the leading Farcaster app, introduced a new feature that allows building apps that can automatically generate a new Farcaster Frame, e.g. an NFT-gated poll.
2. ✨ The ENS rebrand. The Ethereum Name Service just rolled out its new brand identity, which was designed to provide a more intuitive experience for ENS users of all stripes.
3. 🤖 Yup's AI embrace. Crypto social's premier cross-posting app Yup just rolled out Yup AI, a new feature that allows you to optimize your social media posts via AI editing.

Intellectual property (IP) includes creations like artistic works, designs, images, inventions, names, and symbols.

This encompasses a massive range of assets, from AI models to game assets.

Despite its enormous value, though, which is estimated in the trillions of dollars, IP often remains stuck in an outdated legal system that makes it difficult to license, monetize, and trade effectively.

That's where the new Story Network comes in, a new blockchain that aims to transform IP into liquid, programmable, and ownable digital assets.

Since the chain is brand new and NFT-centric, let's dive into its design, how it works, and the potential applications it offers! 👇

Mantle kickstarts Season 1 of Methamorphosis. Building on the success of their Liquid Staking Token, mETH, Mantle LSP announces plans for a new Liquid Restaking Token, cmETH, along with a governance token, COOK. With Methamorphosis, participants can now farm Powder for future COOK tokens and position themselves early for upcoming cmETH release.

A couple months ago I wrote a Tool Tip on Fileverse, which is a decentralized and onchain answer to platforms like Notion or Google Workspace.

I wanted to highlight them again today, as they just introduced a powerful new resource: dDocs.

A privacy-friendly, peer-to-peer alternative to Google Docs, dDocs allows for real-time collaboration on documents in a serverless fashion. It's also a fascinating example of composability, as it's built atop a range of resources like Gnosis Chain, IPFS, Pinata, Privy, and Safe.

If you're a creative or builder and find yourself collaborating with others on content often, then dDocs is a useful tool built per crypto values and is worth exploring accordingly!
