Story Protocol

Overview

Ava integrates with Story Protocol to provide decentralized IP management, licensing, and royalty distribution for AI-generated content. This integration enables proper attribution, terms enforcement, and commercial usage rights for content generated by Ava's portfolio management agents.

Components

ATCP-IP Provider

The ATCP-IP (Automated Token-based Content Provenance for Intellectual Property) provider serves as the bridge between Ava's AI agents and Story Protocol's on-chain IP management system. It enables:

• Creation and management of intellectual property licenses for AI-generated insights, strategies, and content

• Registration of agent outputs with proper attribution

• Enforcement of royalty payments for commercial use of IP

• Tracking of IP across the Ava ecosystem

interface IPLicenseTerms {

  transferability: boolean;
  onchain_enforcement: boolean;
  royalty_rate: number;

  issuer_id: string;
  holder_id: string;
  issue_date: number;
  version: string;
  link_to_terms: string;
  previous_license_id: string;
}

Recall Storage

The Recall Storage provider enables Ava's agents to persistently store and retrieve data using the decentralized Recall protocol. This includes:

• On-chain storage of agent outputs, analysis, and decision logic

• Immutable record-keeping of portfolio actions and strategies

• Decentralized retrieval and verification of historical data

• Chain-of-thought storage for agent decision paths

Key features include:

• Encrypted storage buckets for different types of agent data

• Searchable indexed storage for fast retrieval

• Metadata tagging for organization and filtering

How It Works

IP Licensing Flow

1. Content Generation: Ava's agents generate portfolio analysis, strategies, or other valuable IP

2. IP Registration: Content is registered with Story Protocol via the ATCP-IP provider:

   const licenseId = await atcpipProvider.mintLicense(terms, metadata);

3. License Terms: Clear terms are established for content usage, including:

   • Commercial vs. non-commercial use

   • Royalty rates (typically 5% default)

   • Attribution requirements

   • Transferability permissions

4. Verification and Attribution: Consumers of the content can verify authenticity and view attribution:

   const isValid = await atcpipProvider.verifyLicense(licenseId);
   const terms = await atcpipProvider.getLicenseTerms(licenseId);

Persistent Data Storage Flow

1. Agent Analysis: Ava's agents perform portfolio analysis or generate strategies

2. Data Persistence: Critical data is stored using the Recall Storage provider:

   await recallStorage.store(key, data, metadata);

3. Chain of Thought: Decision-making processes are stored for transparency and auditing:

   await recallStorage.storeCoT(key, thoughts, metadata);

4. Retrieval and Search: Data can be accessed and searched when needed:

   const result = await recallStorage.retrieve(key);
   const searchResults = await recallStorage.search(query, options);

Benefits

• IP Protection: Ensures proper attribution and royalty distribution for AI-generated financial insights

• Decentralized Record-Keeping: Creates tamper-proof records of strategies and decisions

• Compliance: Enables clear licensing terms for commercial use of strategies

• Transparency: Provides audit trails for agent decision-making

• Interoperability: Allows content to be securely shared across the DeFi ecosystem with proper rights management

Future Enhancements

• Enhanced royalty distribution models for collaborative AI-generated strategies

• Integration with additional blockchains beyond the current deployments

• Advanced IP rights management for specialized portfolio strategies

• Cross-agent licensing for collaborative strategy development

• NFT-based strategy marketplaces with built-in licensing
