The original title is "Story RPC: Querying the Chain Where IP Is a Protocol Primitive"

Short summary

Story is an EVM Layer 1 (chain ID 1514) that treats intellectual property as a first-class protocol object with registration, licensing, and royalty modules as on-chain smart contracts. It raised an $80M Series B led by a16z and is becoming the default chain for AI training-data licensing. Developers interact via standard eth_* JSON-RPC, Solidity, and viem/ethers — the domain objects (IP Assets, licenses, royalties) are new but the tooling is familiar.

• •Story mainnet (chain ID 1514) is an EVM L1 with CometBFT consensus, ~2-3s finality, and IP as native token
• •Proof-of-Creativity protocol: IP Assets (NFT + ERC-6551 account), license modules, royalty modules, dispute modules
• •Primary 2026 use case: AI training-data licensing with programmable on-chain license terms and automated royalties
