A Layer-1 focused on tokenized intellectual property and its on-chain ecosystem.

By staking you help decentralise and secure the Story network, and in return you receive passive rewards denominated in IP tokens. Additionally you participate in the ecosystem of tokenised intellectual property.

Both validators and delegators can stake tokens to a validator. A validator can also stake to itself, this is called self-delegation.

The staking amount must be greater than 1024 IP.

Staking on the Story Network means delegating your native IP tokens to a validator to secure the network, support operations and earn rewards.

Risks include token price volatility, network slashing (e.g., due to validator downtime or mis-behaviour) and opportunity cost of locked tokens.

Users can choose between:

• Fixed-period staking, where tokens are locked for a set duration.
• Flexible staking, where tokens can be withdrawn at any time.
