Story

Story is building the world's first IP network, making intellectual property programmable on the blockchain for creators and builders. Further information can be found on Story Foundation's website.

Installation

Story's architecture uses separate execution and consensus clients for better scalability. To run a validator node, you need two components: the story-geth execution client and the story consensus client.

prerequisites

• CPU: 4 Cores
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Disk: 500 GB SSD
• Machine: Ubuntu 22.04+

script execution

To quickly set up your node, run this script:

wget -O story.sh https://api.denodes.xyz/story.sh && bash story.sh

After installation, wait for full synchronization. The command below should return false:

curl -s localhost:26657/status | jq .result.sync_info.catching_up

wallet & faucet

Next, proceed to export your validator key
