Actually, it’s my birthday today, time to do the drop. As promised, this is a big announcement. I have joined @StoryProtocol as the Infra Partnership Lead. I am still very bullish on FLock, for sure. But to me, Story is very different. Before getting into the details, I want to express my gratitude to @brutoshi_ and Greg, who introduced me to @leo_hao, and to Leo for his strong support, as well as @WeileiY, @devrelius, and @jasonjzhao. I am glad to be part of this fantastic team. I look forward to collaborating with the team to create the best development environment for hackers and developers on the Story Chain, leveraging my experience as a developer, hacker, mentor, and Story ecosystem builder. If you are building something or thinking of building something around IP, feel free to DM me! So why Story? So many people DMed and ask me why I step down from FLock. Here is why This is a long story. (See, I am so into storytelling, definitely a reason why.) I started my programming life with web development. During high school, I always wanted to start a company that brought the experience of webtoons or QiDian Webnovel to the Western world. I believed a similar design could work. I worked on the idea throughout my undergraduate years, but after graduating, I found out both companies were doing very well overseas, and web novels had become a hot trend. To differentiate myself, I started investigating features I could implement to stand out. Blockchain popped into my search. So, technically speaking, I got into Web3 because of IP. Then I founded @CreaderDao with some friends, while studying, and I transitioned this startup idea into my master's thesis. I researched why we should use blockchain and NFTs to revamp the existing IP protection system. The conclusion was more related to economic impact than technical impact. However, I did not continue with the idea because it was too early for the market, and I wasn't ready, nor was the market. Over the past few years, I kept brainstorming ideas and contributing code with trending features in the market (my side hustle, but also a project that allowed me to practice product analysis, market analysis, development construction, and coding). In April 2023, I was introduced to ERC6551. The first moment I saw the idea, I thought this was a perfect foundation for IP—the IP account. For my master's, I also investigated how to use smart contracts to segment rights from IP. I conducted many tests and wrote code after trying it out at EthGlobal Lisbon. In September 2023, I saw the news about Story's fundraising and went down the rabbit hole. I discovered Story was doing everything I had thought about 2-3 years ago, which led to the production of this article. This is also how I got in touch with the team, with Leo, and where the story begins. After craving Testnet, I finally got my chance during ETHDenver to try out the codebase integration and build the “AI Model Licensing platform” for FLock. At the same time, I revamped Creader and started implementing Story Protocol for the V2 upgrade. Joining Story doesn’t mean I think FLock is bad. For me, IP and Blockchain are where I started, and I have always been interested in them. I hope to continue working in this field to help creators become better. Therefore, when I decided to move, I saw it as a lifetime shame if I did not take the chance. FLock is also great, and it was a hard decision. Lastly, some thoughts on Story L1. Last year, inspired by xLog, I wanted to build my chain for Creader. I always think an IP Chain is necessary; we need a hub or infrastructure to provide technical ground for all IPs. I am strongly aligned with the vision. SO LET THE NEW STORY BEGIN -> IP WORLD FOR ALL

I am hiring an intern to support me in working with validator/infrastructure partners at @StoryProtocol. The role will cover many areas, including product design, technical advocacy, and strategic planning. It's a place to hustle. Apply here: jobs.lever.co/piplabs/1ecdeb…

看到mia发的转正，突然想到我貌似也在 @StoryProtocol 满6个月了。实话说，工作强度之大可能是我从未想过的🫠想想我17岁开始工作。18的时候一周6天，每天两份工作。大学平均60-70小时打工，然后华为，币安，FLock初创。真的从来没有那么高强度的工作。 算了一下自工作以来，6个月，总共在伦敦待了不到4周。其余时间3次SF crunch time，日本3次，KBW，token，devcon，zuthailand。3.5周在中国跑了5个活动。 然后发了两个测试网，一个dev mainnet。从零到一转变成了devops。从hacker到judger。错过了很多meme。这6个月比6年做的事都要多。太狠了，想想我都觉得狠。

As said, this is the article for our Asia tour. Quite some thoughts; I initially thought I would write 500 words. But once you are in that writing mode, man can't stop XD If you want to build on Story? Feel free to DM us! @timtimtim.eth/asia-tour">paragraph.xyz/@timtimtim.eth…

写了一下链上IP算是拖了很久的一篇我很想写的文章，内容很长，受众人群一定不是所有人。我写只因为我想。这里谢谢 @Story_Liu00 @StoryProtocol @sleepy0x13 @storysylee 的推文 欢迎各位指正 mirror.xyz/0xD74554760Adc…

GG @mushy, now my feeds are all @StoryProtocol OG nominations. What an era. How can you not appreciate and not bullish about the community. Community is fam, community is about support each other regardless you met IRL or not. We share vision and work towards it together.

记得深圳场出来， @SnoopyThePiper 和我说有个女生哭了，虽然我也不知道为什么。但是深圳讲的是最好的。 我在深圳场门口和很多人聊到了快12点。之前做研究的时候提出过核心理论。为什么需要p2p交易体系去革新已有的版权框架。一法律是的滞后。另一句话解释，应该是版权的展现方式并没有更多的创新，直至AI时代。二数字化和AI生成的进步过快，引发的新问题，例如归属，复制成本为零等问题。 这里有两个概念，很重要 - 版权 - 智能合约 版权最早提及于1710年的安妮法规，立法宗旨在于保护作者利益，当时版权的展示种类只有两种，书籍和艺术。因此版权受到局限。20 世纪，各国完善版权法，扩展到电影、音乐、软件、3D 建模等更多形式。 同时版权是复杂的，其括囊了财产权和所有权，两者都归属于民事法。 两者的存在都是为了保护财产而存在，因此简单来说的话就是保护大家的经济权益。那么这里就有一个疑问了。既然我们的经济权益很重要，那么有人会去读知识产权法或是其他法吗？可能99%的人不会去读，这样一来就导致了大家其实并不理解自己的权利。我个人觉得通过智能合约解决法律认知或是理解是非常重要的。从知识产权法中抽离特性，并可视化。其实是能更好的帮助创作者，参与者和群众了解权利。与此同时构建一个更有效和透明的授权。 版权之所以复杂不仅仅是因为法律层面的多重结合，财产权包含了各种奇奇怪怪的东西。譬如你发币是需要授权的，发nft也是，售卖周边也是。只要和商业化产生关联就需要授权。走近核心版权是资产，硬性的RWA。因为其商业价值的不稳定性和复杂性，很难提高版权的流动性。Bitcoin最早就是P2P交易网络，Story通过区块链构建IP交易网络，是合理的。我始终认为，IP上链是很性感的一件事，也是未来改变的大方向。权利在很多语境下是飘渺且虚幻的，我们知道权利但是无法很好的定价权利。IP的意义很大一部分在于权利封装。借助NFT作为容器真正的封装权利，把抽象具象成实体，赋予其金融属性的入口。 最后聊一下智能合约，真从学术角度看，智能合约最早是1994年由密码学家Nick Szabo提出宗旨是希望通过数字化的方式减少对中介的依赖，提高效率。之后衍生出了Bit Gold也是Bitcoin前身。从Story的角度出发，PIL才是正真回归了初心。通过数字化的方式拆解知识产权法。通过提取特质帮助大家可视化。同时版权作为金融和法律的混合产物很好的切合了区块链的所有场景。当然现在，还没有法律可以很好的实现这个，相信未来会有
