Story Foundation Forms Strategic Partnership with Google Cloud

The Story Foundation, a leader in the IP-based blockchain ecosystem, announced on the 10th that it has formed a strategic partnership with global cloud leader Google Cloud. Having successfully completed the mainnet transition and governance token launch, Story plans to accelerate the creation of a developer-friendly environment and ecosystem expansion 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 necessary for smart contract deployment and functionality testing, helping to reduce gas fee burdens in the blockchain development process and contribute to a more transparent testing environment.

Story has lowered the entry barrier for developers by introducing this feature from the early stages of the mainnet. As a result, at the time of the mainnet launch, it recorded an average of about 2,000 users per day, and currently, about 12,000 users are active daily.

Story plans to expand the scope of cooperation with Google Cloud to establish a stable infrastructure base that combines scalability, security, and high performance. Additionally, it aims to provide more reliable services to creators, developers, and users. Joint marketing and educational programs utilizing Google Cloud's developer education resources and technical support will also be pursued in stages.

Andrea Muttoni, Director of the Story Foundation, said, "AI technology is advancing so rapidly that it threatens existing IP systems, making it urgent to build new infrastructure to respond to this. Story will create a blockchain-based creative market where anyone can freely utilize and develop IP through collaboration with Google Cloud."
