Jason Zhao, who helped create Story Protocol, is moving on. He's been with the project for over three years. Now, he's shifting his focus to something new: an AI venture called Poseidon. This new project aims to use AI in areas like science, biopharma, robotics, and even space. Zhao shared this news on social media. He mentioned that he will still be involved with Story Protocol as a strategic advisor. This means he won't be working full-time there anymore, but he'll still help out from time to time. Poseidon is something Zhao is really excited about. It reminds him of his time at DeepMind, where he worked on applying AI to different industries. He believes that AI can bring about big changes, similar to the Industrial Revolution.
Story Protocol started in 2021. It's a platform that helps people manage and monetize their intellectual property using blockchain technology. The project has raised a lot of money, over $130 million, from big investors like a16z. With Zhao stepping back, the leadership team is changing. SY Lee will now be the CEO. Andrea will be the chief product officer, and Sandeep will be the chief AI officer. Zhao said he will still be involved with Story Protocol through partnerships and investments. He called his time there the most meaningful experience of his life. The Story Protocol token, IP, is currently trading above $5. 80, up 2% from the previous day.
