Jason Zhao, co-founder of the intellectual property Blockchain Project Story Protocol, is moving away from his full-time role after more than three years of construction of the platform.
Zhao has announced via a publication on social networks that there will remain a strategic advisor while focusing on a new AI initiative, Poseidon, which applies artificial intelligence to border industries such as science, biopharma, robotics and space.
After 3.5 years of history creation from zero, I come out of my full -time role. I will remain closely involved as a strategic advisor.
By incubating Poseidon, I rekindled my original passion for my days Deepmind: apply AI to border industries such as science and space.… pic.twitter.com/fd8j0c9uso

“The generation of languages is only the initial wave of an abundant intelligence cascade through the fields … that, in the event of success, will constitute a new industrial revolution,” said Zhao in an article on X.
Zhao launched the Story Protocol in 2021 as a means of making intellectual property rights holders, allowing rights holders to register and monetize chain content directly.
The project has since obtained more than $ 130 million in venture capital funding from donors, including A16Z.
Leadership will now go entirely to the Sy Lee co -founder as CEO, alongside Andrea as a product manager and Sandeep as head of AI.
Zhao said that he will remain close to history thanks to partnerships and investments, calling the project “the most significant experience of my life”.
The Story Protocol token, IP, is negotiated above $ 5.80, up 2% today.
