Story
@StoryProtocol
The world’s IP blockchain. AI-native infrastructure for the $80T IP asset class.
Robots, AVs, voice systems – the future of AI exists in the real world. Real-world data is one of the most valuable subsets of IP and physical AI's biggest bottleneck. Today, @psdnai launches out of Story with a $15M seed round led by @a16zcrypto to try to solve just that ↴
You aped jpegs. Just wait til you see what you can do with real-life science, culture, and data. gmip
The last generation of AI was trained on what was easy to scrape. The next generation will be trained on what’s hard to coordinate. → First-person stereo video → Multilingual voice in real-world environments → Edge-case navigation footage → Biometric signals from diverse…
Scraped internet data got us this far, but the next generation of AI – robots, AVs, voice-to-text – needs something else entirely: Real-world, long-tail, multimodal data. No one has been able to solve the problem of how to source this data at scale, until now.
IPFi had a huge win this week ↓ 25M TVL hit, 5M in $IP locked on @verio_story. It's always Day One in the Story ecosystem.
In this week alone: ▪️ AI models posed in the pages of Vogue ▪️ Humanoid robots took on the ambitious tasks of servers ▪️ LeBron James’ issued cease-and-desists over AI-generated videos depicting him The line between real and synthetic is blurring. Rails for provenance is key.
Most launchpads extract value from creators. @ipdotworld does the opposite. Every token launched ties back to a verified IP → Fees stream to the origin → Supply splits are automatic. The rails are finally aligned with IP coins. More soon.
LLMs are cheap. Compute is plentiful. Data is the new bottleneck.

Get to know @psdnai 🔱
Imagine never folding laundry again. The internet trained LLMs, but robots and self-driving cars need training data that is much more challenging to source. Poseidon enables the collection, curation, and licensing of real-world data to accelerate physical AI. Use cases:
You can’t train a Tesla robot to hold a coffee cup with scraped internet data. You need countless angles of egocentric video from real homes, hands, and lighting. Poseidon coordinates and curates this data at scale, with IP cleared on @StoryProtocol.
Congratulations @psdnai 🔱
Excited to announce we’re leading a $15M seed round in Poseidon, which was incubated by @StoryProtocol and is building a decentralized data layer to coordinate supply and demand for AI training data. The first generation of AI foundation models were trained on data that seemed…
From Stanford to UT Austin, I’ve spent my career chasing one question: how do we gather and value the right data to make AI work in the real world? There are three battlegrounds in AI: Compute – Solved by Nvidia. Models – Rapidly commoditizing. Data – The last, unpriced…
AI is moving beyond the browser and into the real world. The bottleneck? Data. Today we’re announcing a $15M seed round led by @a16zcrypto to build infra that collects, curates, and licenses high-quality data for physical AI. Incubated by and built on @StoryProtocol.
<Poseidon: AI’s Full-Stack Infrastructure for IP-Cleared Training Data> Today, Poseidon is launching: a new infrastructure layer for AI, incubated by Story and backed by $15M from a16z crypto, built to fix its most broken input: training data. Nvidia is valued at over $4…
