How to easily run your Story Protocol node

Story Protocol launches node integration for its Iliad Testnet. Learn how to easily launch your own node to take part in the decentralization and security of the Story Network, as well as enhancing its performance.

What is Story Protocol ?

Story Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain whose mission is to unleash an entirely new way to create, govern, and license IP on-chain, ultimately forming an ecosystem of “story legos” that can be remixed and composed.

Story Protocol offers an efficient framework to oversee the complete lifecycle of IP development, supporting features such as provenance tracking, seamless licensing, and revenue sharing. Designed for creators across various media—such as prose, images, gaming, audio, and more—applications built on Story Protocol empower writers and artists to monitor the origins of their work. This allows anyone to contribute and remix while ensuring the value of their contributions is recognized.

Why run a Story node ?

When it comes to the 80:20 rule for operating nodes, the approach is quite simple : focus on running nodes for projects with substantial fundraising efforts and where early involvement is possible.
Story raised $140M and the masses are focused on farming testnet, leaving an extremely low competition for node runners.

All projects tend to massively reward their node runners as they are considered as core contributors who maintain the security & integrity of the network, as well as making it more decentralized.
