Story Network is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain that implements the best features of EVM and Cosmos SDK. It is 100% EVM-compatible and has deep execution layer optimizations. It supports graphical data structures and is built to handle complex data structures such as IP quickly and cost-effectively. It does this by traversing complex data structures such as IP graphs in seconds at marginal cost using pre-compiled primitives, and by being based on a high-throughput consensus layer that ensures fast completion and cheap transactions.Story’s Proof of Creation protocol, a smart contract protocol deployed natively on the Story Network, allows any creator to introduce IP to the Story Network. Story’s Proof of Creativity protocol is a smart contract protocol deployed natively on the Story Network that allows any creator to introduce IP into Story, and creators can register their IP as an “IP Asset” on the protocol; an IP Asset (IPA) is the underlying programmable IP metadata on the protocol.
