Story Delays $IP Token Unlock, Strengthens Long-Term Token Economics and Network Stability
Story has announced a six-month extension for the initial unlocking and subsequent vesting schedule of all locked $IP tokens, applicable to investors, team members, and internal stakeholders. As a result, no new liquidity from these tokens will enter the market before August 13, 2026.
This decision is part of a broader strategy to strengthen long-term alignment with the community and enhance the network’s economic sustainability. It follows recent proposals, SIP-00009 and SIP-00010, which recalibrated token emissions and staking incentives to support a more sustainable token economy. These changes reduce emissions from locked tokens, encourage broader community staking participation, and lower inflation pressure as the network matures.
The token supply, allocation ratios, vesting terms, and legal ownership remain unchanged. The updated schedule is enforced via automated smart contracts to ensure compliance. Story emphasizes that this move prioritizes long-term network stability over short-term market fluctuations.
Story is an AI-native blockchain focused on traceability, licensing, and monetization of AI data and models, backed by $136M from investors including a16z crypto and Samsung Ventures.
