Story IP Explorer

Open-Source Developer Toolkit for Blockchain IP Intelligence

The Vision

The Story blockchain ecosystem needs powerful, accessible developer tools. Story IP Explorer is an open-source toolkit that empowers developers to build intelligent IP applications without reinventing the wheel.

We're not just building a platform-we're building the infrastructure layer that the entire Story ecosystem can build upon.

The Problem for Developers

Building intelligent applications on Story blockchain is unnecessarily hard:

• No unified data layer: Developers must manually query StoryScan API, parse blockchain data, and manage caching

• AI integration is complex: Integrating LLMs requires managing API keys, rate limits, load balancing, and caching

• Repeated work: Every project rebuilds search, filtering, caching, and error handling from scratch

• No best practices: Lack of reference implementations for common patterns

• Fragmented ecosystem: No standard way to build IP-aware applications

• High barrier to entry: Requires expertise in blockchain, AI, databases, and frontend-too much for most developers

The result? Developers waste weeks on infrastructure instead of building features. The ecosystem stagnates because building is too hard.

The Solution: Open-Source Developer Toolkit

Story IP Explorer is a production-ready, fully open-source toolkit that provides:

🛠️ Reusable Service Layer

// Developers can import and use directly
import { blockchainService } from '@story-ip-explorer/services';
import { aiService } from '@story-ip-explorer/ai';
import { cacheService } from '@story-ip-explorer/cache';

// Instantly get:
const assets = await blockchainService.getIPAssets();
const insights = await aiService.generateInsights(ipId);
const cached = await cacheService.getOrGenerate(key, generator);

🧩 React Component Library

• Pre-built, beautiful components for IP data display

• Fully typed with TypeScript

• Chakra UI + Tailwind CSS integration

• Accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA)

• Customizable and composable

import { IPCard, Dashboard, AISearchBar } from '@story-ip-explorer/components';

// Use immediately in your app
<IPCard ipAsset={asset} />
<Dashboard stats={stats} />
<AISearchBar onSearch={handleSearch} />
