About Story Protocol

We’re building web3 technology to revolutionize how narrative universes are created. Our mission is to unleash an entirely new way to create, govern, and license IP on-chain, ultimately forming an ecosystem of “story legos” that can be remixed and composed.

Our guiding belief is that stories are the foundational layer of media –– from books and comics to film, television, and games. However, most top storytelling franchises are controlled by a small handful of studios. They use their leverage to squeeze creators, build walls around their IPs, and treat fans like sources of revenue instead of like partners. This top-down approach prevents many narrative universes from realizing their potential, and it stops many hits from getting built at all.

Story Protocol allows creators to build narrative universes from the bottom up. It empowers the construction of imaginary worlds via open source principles –– the same way that humanity formed the first myths around the campfire, but with ownership and incentive models built-in.

Our team features deep expertise in media, tech, and business. Founding team members are successful serial entrepreneurs. We are backed by top VCs.

We are looking for engineering interns who are excited about storytelling in web3, and can learn fast to make meaningful contributions to the engineering deliverables.
