We're excited to announce that Tenderly now fully supports Story Network, bringing our full-stack infrastructure to the world's first blockchain for intellectual property rights. The integration empowers creators, developers, and builders with the only Node RPC with built-in development environments and industry-recognized dev tooling for Story Protocol's innovative infrastructure.
What's the Story About?
Story Protocol is revolutionizing how intellectual property is managed in the digital age. As the first open protocol for IP rights, it provides a decentralized infrastructure that enables transparent licensing, attribution, and monetization of creative works. The protocol's smart contract-based IP registry and composable licensing framework are creating new possibilities for collaborative storytelling and value creation in the creative economy.
Story Network is a purpose-built EVM-equivalent Layer 1 blockchain explicitly designed and optimized for intellectual property. It integrates the best of both the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Cosmos SDK in creating an infrastructure for the next IP layer.
The key features of Story Network are:
- EVM Compatibility: Full compatibility with Ethereum Virtual Machine
- Optimized Data Structures: Precompiled primitives for efficient IP graph traversal
- Fast Finality: CometBFT-based consensus layer for quick transaction finality
- Modular Architecture: Decoupled consensus from execution using Ethereum's Engine-API
Empowering the Creator Economy
The media and entertainment industry is undergoing a significant transformation with Web3 technologies enabling new models of ownership and collaboration. Story Protocol's infrastructure allows creators to:
- Register and verify ownership of original IP
- Create standardized, machine-readable licensing frameworks
- Enable programmatic royalty distributions
- Facilitate collaborative creation while maintaining proper attribution
Tenderly's tools make it easier for developers to build applications on top of this infrastructure, ensuring that smart contracts managing valuable IP rights are thoroughly tested, debugged and monitored.
What does Tenderly bring?
With this integration, developers building on Story Protocol gain access to Tenderly's full-stack infrastructure and industry-leading tools:
- Tenderly Virtual TestNets: Zero-setup, collaborative development and testing environments synced with the latest Story Network state
- Tenderly Node RPC: Connect to Story Protocol nodes with the top-performing and only Node RPC with built-in tools and dev environments
- Explorer & Debugger: Explore Story chain and debug complex IP licensing and attribution transactions with our multichain explorer and intuitive debugger
- Tenderly Simulations: Test IP registry entries and licensing interactions before deploying to mainnet
- Alerting & Monitoring: Set up custom alerts to monitor your Story Protocol infrastructure
We're committed to supporting the growing ecosystem of Web3 infrastructure for creative industries. By adding Story Protocol to our list of supported networks, we're enabling developers to build with confidence on the most promising solution and protocol for IP management.
