yup, I hit 10k followers! super cool number and all, but is it really 10k? probably not. never really cared much for follower count anyway because the majority of the time we see high numbers like this, we don't really see the levels of engagement to match. but even then, that's not really a big deal to me either. twitter is a numbers game to most, but heck, these numbers could have easily been pulled years ago with something like a giveaway. so what number does matter to me, if not this? I've said it time and time again, but I think this is a good opportunity to say it one more time. 10,000 is cool and a huge number, but the number that means something to me is the number of real connections I've made in the space. who knows what that number actually is? there are dozens, or maybe hundreds, of people I've actually interacted with, worked with, supported, or who have supported me throughout my time here. these dozens or hundreds of people are the ones I have come to really call friends. that's the number that matters to me, and I'm very fortunate to say this number is still growing. now why the fuck am I making this post if I don't care about the 10k? it's because you all do, and if you think it's a reason to celebrate, then I'm gonna celebrate with you! so thank you to all the friends I've made along the way. whether we met when I was a mod at pudgies, a project manager at doodles, or now as the community lead at story, your time with me means more than this 10k number.

@psdnai HELLO NUMO.

AI was trained on the open internet, but the data that matters most lives in the real world. Introducing early access to Numo, an app built to collect the next generation of AI training data. Starting with voice data collection in Bengali, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Details ↴

The OG roster is always evolving. Some step up, some step aside, while the community continues to take shape around it. With things shifting, it’s worth asking: what separates a Seeker from an Adept? Drop your thoughts ↴

yo smith! the lack of new Adepts is something we've definitely noticed and hope to see change as we finish up some demotions all around to round out the OG crew 🫡 as for feedback, the OG Room has always been one available for discussions among the OG and now with a private OGs chat in Discord, a new spot has opened up. of course, DMs have also always been open for myself and many of the story executive community members, so please feel free to reach out. not everything has to be in public, but can always have been discussed with OGs in their chats or in DMs to pass along!

That's cool. I don't mind learning, but in the past six months, only a few people have been promoted to Adept. In any case, I've already accepted that I won't get a promotion. Just know that without promotions, growth isn't possible, because many people have simply given up and lost hope And please, give us a place where we can leave feedback without being judged, because I've noticed that people are afraid to speak their minds, afraid that others will think they're just complaining. But we're the OG, and it's our job to give feedback - otherwise, what's the point? Thank you for reading

Being a Story OG means growing with the community. Now there’s a place to do exactly that: the OGs Lab. What started as Adepts Lab has been rebuilt and handed over to the community to run. A dedicated space for OGs to develop, grow, and show up for each other. Learn more ↴

What if the most valuable data in the world never risked exposure?

@StoryProtocol @0xTanoy testnet 👀

With sensitive data, what matters most isn’t always what’s shared. It’s what isn’t. Confidential Data Rails testnet soon.

@devrelius 📝🔥

the most valuable data is the data no one wants to openly share. training data for robotics, proprietary datasets, financial records, medical data, model weights, i.e. the stuff that actually matters will always be mediated through confidentiality and legal agreements. to build smarter models in a decentralized way, we need to build the pipes that let confidential data flow between parties who don't fully trust each other, or don't trust each other at all. we need to do what protocols like zcash do for token transfers, but for actual proprietary data, with licensing and confidentiality built in. this is the problem we've been building toward at story. we started with open IP infrastructure... the idea that digital assets need programmable rules attached to them and anyone can remix them permissionlessly. But the deeper we went, the more we realized there was another massive underaddressed problem: enabling the secure transfer and computation of data that can't be public. That is IP too, and the most precious. not everything needs to be transparent. some things need to be provably private and conditionally accessible. the blockchain industry has spent a decade optimizing for openness. the next decade belongs to whoever builds the best infrastructure for confidentiality. More than just private transactions. as Confidential Data Rails (CDR) heads towards testnet soon, it will change what story can do at its core, supporting high stakes, confidential data and IP natively, which is the precious fuel AI runs on.

@StoryProtocol @Verse_Eight 🕹️🦆

Congrats to @verse_eight on their $5M seed round! In gaming, value typically flows to a handful of studios. Verse8 flips that model with an AI platform where anyone can turn ideas into games. 3.5M users, 5K active creators, and 25K games since launch. Built on Story ↴

@ExpectedValue_ @calistawu @YQCre8 the story and the art 😚🤌

I asked the love of my life to be my wife. And she said yes. I found you in the most unexpected place. Not in a moment I was searching for. Not in a way I could have planned. Just somewhere along the path. Our lives crossed. And everything quietly changed. You didn’t arrive loudly. You didn’t try to be anything other than who you are. But you became everything to me. Before you I don’t think I truly understood what happiness was. I knew moments. I knew flashes. But not this. Not the kind that fades. Not the kind that comes and goes. The kind that stays. The kind that feels steady and real. The kind that makes your heart feel like it has finally come home. You gave me that. You didn’t just make me happier. You changed me. You made me softer in the ways I needed. Stronger where I was weak. More open. More present. More alive. I am not the man I am today without you. And I don’t say that lightly. Somewhere along the way. You became my peace. My balance. My reason. The center of my life. You became the part of me I didn’t know was missing. Every conversation. Every laugh. Every quiet moment. All the things that slowly became something more. All leading to the moment I realized. I never wanted a life without you in it. @calistawu, You are the love of my life. You are my heart. My soul. My safest place in this world. You are the person who showed me a kind of happiness. I didn’t know existed. And somehow out of everyone in this world. You chose me. That’s something I will never stop being grateful for. If I could live this life a thousand times over. Walk every path. Make every choice again. I would still hope every single time. That somehow it leads me back to you. And in all of this. I got to ask you to be my forever. I love you Cali. I will choose you. Every time. Always. Forever.

A growing ecosystem needs a strong community behind it. Five ambassadors are ready, each in their own lane, spanning developer support, mentorship, and community coordination. Meet them ↴

@DemAzuki @AzukiTCG my brethren

shipping is high for @AzukiTCG outside of the US because they include prepaid tariffs and import duties when Azuki previously shipped things, duties and tariffs were almost nonexistent or unenforced in 2026, everything gets stopped and tariffed, this is the way to ensure a smooth delivery

@StoryProtocol new mushy minions

The Story Ambassador program is growing where it matters most: the community. We're welcoming two new ambassadors fully focused on the community. One dedicated to mentoring our OGs in the Labs, and the other supporting the community's day to day activities. Meet them ↴

@erikalee @UseCorgi lfg erika!

overdue for a personal announcement: i recently joined @UseCorgi, a company building the first full-stack AI insurance carrier to lead pr/branding :) i wasn't at all looking to 1.) leave LA 2.) find a new job, but i genuinely feel like this company is one of the fastest growing startups i've ever seen. in such a short period of time, corgi has already raised over $108 million, ran the opening bell at NASDAQ for its founder-led ETF, surpassed $40 million in annual recurring revenue, opened a 24/7 cafe, and serves hundreds of startups in the US. we're currently hiring for growth marketing and always looking for companies to partner with, dms are open!
