Story Protocol

Story is making the legal system for creative Intellectual Property (IP) more efficient by turning IP "programmable" on the blockchain. To do this, we have created Story Network: a purpose-built layer 1 blockchain where people or programs alike can license, remix, and monetize IP according to transparent terms set by creators themselves.

Initialize

change the <your-moniker>

story init --network odyssey --moniker <your_moniker>

Create a service Story-geth

Restart and run

# Story-geth
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \
sudo systemctl start story-geth && \
sudo systemctl enable story-geth && \
sudo systemctl status story-geth

# Story
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && \

Check status

curl localhost:26657/status | jq

Sync from snapshot

Your node must be synchronized for at least one block

Download the latest snapshot provided by the ITRocket team:https://itrocket.net/services/testnet/story/

Wait for full synchronization before proceeding to the next step

Create a validator

story validator export

Export private key

sudo cat /root/.story/story/config/private_key.txt
story validator export --export-evm-key

Import the private key into an EVM wallet

Get the $IP tokens from the faucet only 1 IP per 24 hours. For create the validator, we need 1024 $IP token.

Create a validator

change the "your_private_key"

story validator create --stake 1024000000000000000000 --private-key "your_private_key" --chain-id 1516

Selfstake to your validator (for exmaple 16980 IP tokens)

change your private key and your Compressed Public Key (hex)

story validator stake --validator-pubkey <Compressed Public Key (hex)> --stake 16980000000000000000000 --private-key "your_private_key" --chain-id 1516
