Let’s dive into how builders can craft groundbreaking apps and how creators can harness Story’s experimental playground to protect and share their work.
App Ideas For Builders: Innovate with Story’s SDKs
Story equips builders with flexible tools like the Typescript and Python SDKs (with more on the way) and direct smart contract integration, making it easier than ever to create IP-driven experiences. With just one call, you can mint an artwork, register it as an IP Asset, and attach licensing and royalty terms—no legal expertise required. Hundreds of teams and creatives are already building on Story, and the possibilities are endless. Here are some app ideas to spark your imagination:
- Content Remixing Mobile App: A sleek, user-friendly app that lets creators remix registered IPs on the go, respecting license terms while fostering collaboration.
- CMS and Collaboration Hub: A content management system where teams can manage, license, and track IP Assets, streamlining creative workflows.
- DeFi App Leveraging IP Assets: Integrate IP Assets into decentralized finance, enabling staking, lending, or fractional ownership of creative works.

Story For Creators: Mint, License, and Showcase Your Work
For creators, Story’s experimental playground (currently on Sepolia) is a game-changer. Registering your real-world IP on-chain is as simple as connecting your wallet, uploading your file, adding a title, and minting it as an IP Asset—all in a few clicks. Already own an NFT? You can register that too, seamlessly bringing your existing digital assets into Story’s ecosystem.
Once minted, you can attach license terms to define how others interact with your work. Story offers three straightforward options:
- Non-Commercial Social Remixing: Let others remix your IP and share it anywhere, but prohibit reselling or commercial use of the original or remixes.
- Commercial Use: Set a price for others to buy rights to display or publish your work in any medium, without allowing resales or remixes.
- Commercial Remix: Charge for usage rights and allow remixes, specifying a revenue share percentage from any commercial distribution.
After setting your terms, head to your IP Asset’s detail page. Beyond basic metadata, this page features a Lineage section—a visual network showing “child IPs” (remixes others create from your work) and “parent IPs” (works you’ve remixed to create yours). It’s a living map of your creative influence, connecting you to a broader ecosystem of creators.
Why Story Matters
For builders, Story’s SDKs and smart contracts unlock a playground of innovation, from DeFi to AI marketplaces, all rooted in programmable IP. For creators, it’s a hassle-free way to secure your work on-chain, define how it’s used, and track its journey—all without needing to navigate complex legal frameworks. Together, these tools bridge the gap between technical ingenuity and artistic expression, fostering a thriving community of Web3 creators and developers.
