Evaluating conversational voice datasets is more nuanced than it looks. That’s why we created the Poseidon Score, a composite metric combining word accuracy, character accuracy, and semantic similarity to evaluate transcript quality across speech datasets. We used it on a conversational Bengali dataset ↓

GenoBank (@genobank_io) is expanding on Story with its BioIP platform, bringing genomic data onchain and showing how personal data can become a user-owned, revenue-generating asset class within a programmable IP framework. ➤ GenoBank enables genomic data to be registered as programmable digital assets that individuals can own, license, and monetize. The platform supports 7,000+ genomic accounts, 150+ research partnerships, and $6.9M+ in tokenized BioIP value. ℹ️ GenoBank’s BioRouter system, deployed across six smart contracts, enables AI agents to discover, pay for, and access genomic files through micropayment-based licensing without permanent data exposure. Each access generates a time-limited download link, and consent can be revoked at any time. GenoBank is also integrated with Story’s IP Vault, allowing researchers and AI agents to access specific gene sequences (such as BRCA mutations) without receiving the full genome, with every access tracked through Story’s IP licensing.

WITCH (@witchwitch_sns) and WAVIST are driving the growth of tokenized K-culture assets on Story, demonstrating how cultural IP can become a globally accessible, revenue-generating asset class. ➤ WAVIST is a regulated Real World Asset (RWA) investment platform converting traditionally illiquid entertainment IP rights, including live events and visual storytelling, into compliant, investable onchain assets. The platform recently completed its first round of asset sales totaling $3.22M in collaboration with SBI Digital Markets (Singapore) and Kyobo Life Insurance (Korea), demonstrating institutional-grade compliance and distribution capabilities. ℹ️ WAVIST is currently structuring a new $15M RWA fund and is expanding its tokenized asset pipeline beyond live concerts to include new K-Idol IPs, film, television, and the broader entertainment sector.

ZenO has launched its public beta, a Story ecosystem project focused on real-world data collection for training physical AI systems, built on @StoryProtocol. @ZenO4AI enables contributors to capture first-person audio, video, and image data using smart glasses or a mobile device, which is then anonymized and structured for training robotics and embodied AI systems. Robots trained on scraped web data or simulations often struggle with everyday tasks that require real environmental context. ZenO’s beta is designed to help address that gap by validating the end-to-end pipeline from capture to anonymization to structured metadata tagging. ℹ️ Contributors earn rewards for data collection and can receive a share of downstream stablecoin revenue if datasets are sold. ZenO’s roadmap includes writing metadata and licensing information onto Story to enable transparent licensing and automated revenue distribution at the point of registration. → ZenO recently joined NVIDIA Inception as it builds toward enterprise-grade data supply for robotics.
