Core Utilities of $IP
Stake $IP to secure the network – Validators stake $IP to maintain blockchain security and integrity in Story’s Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.
Transact on Story with $IP as gas – All transactions on Story require $IP as the gas token, ensuring sustained network operations.
Govern the $IP ecosystem – Token holders participate in governance decisions, steering the future of Story’s onchain intellectual property market.
By powering transactions, securing the network, and incentivizing contributors, $IP plays a critical role in enabling a decentralized, creator-centric IP economy.

$APL (Aria Premiere Launch) Token Claim launches June 25
We’re pleased to confirm that the $APL token—representing the Aria Premiere Launch portfolio—will open on June 25.
This updated timeline reflects our strategic decision to take an additional month to:
Onboard more high-value IP assets into the portfolio
Optimize liquidity provisioning for $APL
We have been listening closely to the community, especially the StakeStone depositors concerned about asset volatility in the launch of $APL. We are working to ensure deep liquidity which will be conducive to a more efficient market overall.
Launching $APL alongside the completion of additional IP acquisitions ensures the portfolio reflects its full potential. One that’s built for long-term growth, transparency, and value creation.
Aria Points Bonus for Aria Premiere Launch Depositors
To thank the community for its continued support, we’ve doubled Aria Points for all Aria Premiere Launch Stakestone depositors.
You now earn 2 points for every 1 USDC you’ve deposited—up from the original 1 point per dollar. These updated totals will be visible in the Aria webapp once you connect your wallet.
This boost does not dilute your future rewards—it doubles them.
At Aria, we’re committed to building this ecosystem with you and for you — rewarding early backers, prioritizing transparency, and delivering long-term value.
So, What’s Next?
The $APL token claim opens on June 25.
Aria is creating the rails for a new financial and creative paradigm: one where intellectual property is no longer locked away behind industry gates, but instead becomes liquid, investable, and programmable. By bringing cultural assets onchain—starting with music and expanding into broader forms of IP—we’re opening up a market that rewards both creative output and community belief.
The upcoming $APL launch represents the next chapter in that journey. These are real assets, backed by real value, made accessible through technology designed for transparency, collaboration, and scale.
Aria isn’t just about unlocking value from IP—it’s about rewriting the rules of who gets to participate.
We’re incredibly excited about what’s ahead and want to thank you for being part of this journey. What we’re building together is only getting stronger.
