The Story protocol seeks to create a well-defined framework for extracting value from NFTs by emphasizing on their definition. We extend an invitation to both devoted fans and creators from Web 2.0, as well as degens and traders from Web 3.0, to collaborate within the context of the ‘Creators’ Economy.’ The Story protocol serves as a reference point, akin to a quasi-Oracle, in defining this innovative paradigm. Our role involves incentivizing and facilitating on-chain exchanges among all participants.\


Within our Protocol, any token exchange goes beyond mere social endorsement, it symbolically conveys a deeper intention. This intention is recognized and honored through the issuance of a ‘FIN.’ Notably, a FIN isn’t a direct output or asset from the Story protocol. Instead, it reflects a free-market solution integrated into the Story protocol. Rational market participants would provide insights into the uncharted. Consequently, we believe that incorporating these free market principles will encourage widespread engagement and foster a DeCC version of the Nash equilibrium for the ecosystems.
