<h3 data-start="80" data-end="106"><strong data-start="80" data-end="106">About PIP Labs & Story</strong></h3>
<p data-start="108" data-end="282">PIP Labs is an R&D company contributing to the development of Story, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain that transforms intellectual property into a programmable asset class.</p>
<p data-start="284" data-end="533">Story is designed specifically for intellectual property. With Story, creators and developers can register IP on-chain and define usage rights in seconds, dramatically lowering the barriers created by todayβs complex and antiquated IP legal systems.</p>
<p data-start="535" data-end="764">By making IP programmable, Story creates a transparent, decentralized global repository where AI agents, developers, and businesses can discover, license, and monetize intellectual property through simple API-driven interactions.</p>
<p data-start="766" data-end="1021">Story launched mainnet in February 2025, and the native $IP token is now listed on major global exchanges. We are now entering the next phase of development focused on AI-native infrastructure and agent-driven applications built on top of programmable IP.</p>
<p data-start="1023" data-end="1195">PIP Labs is building the core infrastructure that powers this ecosystem, defining how intellectual property is registered, structured, and transacted in an AI-driven world.</p>
