PANews reported on February 12 that according to official news, Story will officially start issuing IP tokens on March 4, 2025 (block 1,580,851), releasing 55,555 IPs per day, and simultaneously starting staking rewards. Currently in the singularity period, users can stake but there is no reward, which will take effect after the Big Bang Block. The staking reward mechanism adopts a time-weighted model, with flexible staking of 1x, 1.1x for 90 days, 1.5x for 360 days, and 2x for 540 days, while locked staking only enjoys 0.5x rewards (locked for 6 months). Story encourages long-term staking to enhance the security and stability of decentralized AI native IP infrastructure.
