# Story Protocol

Story tokenizes any type of IP (Intellectual property); whether that’s an idea, an image, a real world asset, a song, an AI model, an NFT or anything in-between. By embedding usage terms, attribution, and royalty agreements directly into the blockchain, Story provides a transparent, decentralized solution for IP management. This enables IP holders to protect their work, collaborate on IP seamlessly, and unlock revenue opportunities in an AI-powered economy.

## Story Network: "The World's IP Blockchain"

Story Network is a purpose-built layer 1 blockchain achieving the best of EVM and Cosmos SDK. It is 100% EVM-compatible alongside deep execution layer optimizations to support graph data structures, purpose-built for handling complex data structures like IP quickly and cost-efficiently. It does this by:

* using precompiled primitives to traverse complex data structures like IP graphs within seconds at marginal costs
* a consensus layer based on the mature CometBFT stack to ensure fast finality and cheap transactions
