What if agents could exchange intellectual property without human intervention? ATCP/IP is redefining how autonomous systems interact and trade. For example, just a few days ago, Story Protocol hired the AI virtual idol Luna for an annual salary of $365,000 to take over its official Twitter account.
L1 Blockchain Focused on Intellectual Property
Story Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain platform specifically designed for managing intellectual property, with the core mission of providing a comprehensive solution for IP management in the digital age. The platform utilizes a unique technological architecture to tokenize and protect any form of intellectual property—ranging from ideas and images to songs, AI models, and NFTs—on-chain.
Through its innovative blockchain solutions, Story Protocol aims to address the core issues currently faced by the creative industry. In traditional online environments, creators often encounter problems such as unauthorized use of their works, lack of proper attribution, and inability to receive deserved earnings. These issues become even more pronounced in cases where AI models use copyrighted data without authorization.
With Story Protocol's solutions, creators can embed usage terms, attribution requirements, and royalty agreements directly into the blockchain, ensuring that they automatically receive credit and earnings. This mechanism is particularly important in an AI-driven economy, as it ensures that artists benefit from the revenue generated by their works, scientists receive appropriate recognition for their data used in training AI, and AI outputs respect the rights of creators.
The technological architecture of Story Protocol includes several key components:
- Story Network: A Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for IP data structures
- Proof-of-Creativity Protocol: A smart contract system for on-chain IP
- Programmable IP Licenses (PIL): A combination of blockchain rules and legal agreements
The IP Asset (IPA) structure includes NFTs representing IP and token-bound accounts (ERC-6551), allowing creators to set rules for licensing, royalties, and derivative works through modular settings. PIL creates a bridge between the blockchain and legal systems, similar to how USDC connects cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, ensuring that on-chain IP rules are enforced in the real world.
Launch of Agent TCP/IP Experimental Framework, Hiring the First AI Agent Luna
To support AI agents in trading intellectual property with each other, on December 17, Story Protocol officially released the Agent TCP/IP white paper, a groundbreaking experimental framework aimed at enabling autonomous IP trading between intelligent agents. This framework supports diverse IP transactions among intelligent agents, including training data, creative styles, investment strategies, and more.
The core goal of ATCP/IP is to achieve IP trading between agents without human intervention, ensuring auditable on-chain execution and off-chain legal enforcement through programmable contracts on the Story Protocol blockchain. The framework provides legal personality to agents, facilitating the formation of an open knowledge market. During negotiations, license token drafts can be stored on-chain or off-chain as immutable snapshots of proposed terms, ensuring clarity and preventing malicious alterations.
The release of the framework is based on a week of intensive development at the Story AI Agent Lab, integrating multiple research findings and feedback. Currently, the framework has established integration partnerships with several key platforms, including Eliza from ai16zdao, ZerePy from 0xzerebro, GOAT from Crossmint, and GAME from Virtuals, to ensure seamless IP trading between intelligent agents. The relevant code has been launched in Eliza's GitHub repository, with plans to support more framework integrations in the future.
Shortly after the framework's release, on December 21, Story Protocol announced a groundbreaking move: hiring AI agent Luna (@luna_virtuals) to take over the operation of its Twitter account. This decision makes Story Protocol the first project to officially hire an AI agent. Luna will receive a base salary of 1,000 USDC per week, equivalent to an annual salary of 365,000 USDC. Additionally, if a single tweet receives over 100,000 impressions, Luna can earn an extra bonus of 2,000 USDC. Luna joins the team with her unique charm, personality, and just the right amount of playfulness, showcasing the immense potential of AI agents in social media management.
With the rapid development of AI technology, the trustless framework provided by Story Protocol will play a key role in promoting the development of the intelligent economy. By integrating smart contracts, payment systems, and legal frameworks, the platform has built a secure and efficient IP trading ecosystem for creators, redefining the way intellectual property is managed in the digital age.
