Story Foundation Signs Strategic Partnership with Google Cloud

Story Foundation, which leads the blockchain ecosystem based on intellectual property (IP), announced on the 10th that it has signed a strategic partnership with the global cloud leader Google Cloud. After successfully completing its mainnet migration and governance token launch, Story plans to accelerate the creation of a developer-friendly environment and the expansion of its ecosystem through this collaboration.

Through this agreement, Story has secured access to Google Cloud's Testnet Faucet. The Testnet Faucet is a developer support service that provides free tokens needed for deploying and testing smart contracts. It helps reduce the burden of gas fees during blockchain development and contributes to creating a more transparent testing environment.

Since the early days of the mainnet, Story introduced this feature to lower barriers for developers. As a result, when the mainnet launched, it recorded an average of about 2,000 users per day, and currently, around 12,000 active users per day.

Going forward, Story plans to expand the scope of its cooperation with Google Cloud to establish a stable infrastructure that offers scalability, security, and high performance. In addition, it aims to provide a more reliable service for creators, developers, and users alike. The foundation will also gradually implement joint marketing, educational programs utilizing Google Cloud's developer training resources, and technical support.

Andrea Muttoni, Chairperson of Story Foundation, said, "AI technology is developing so rapidly that it threatens the existing IP framework, making the construction of a new infrastructure imperative. With this collaboration with Google Cloud, Story will create a blockchain-based creative marketplace where anyone can freely utilize and develop IP."
