Story is the first blockchain ecosystem in the crypto industry that focuses on intellectual property (IP) management, dedicated to transforming IP into programmable assets, allowing creators to register, authorize, and monetize their works, and automate licensing and revenue sharing through smart contracts. This model solves the complexity and rights protection issues in traditional IP management, especially in the era of AI-driven digital economy, its value is gradually emerging.

In fact, the market is highly recognized for Story's narrative. Story Protocol has completed a $140 million financing, including an $80 million Series B round led by a16z, as well as early-stage financing from well-known investment institutions such as ConsenSys and Polychain Capital. This not only reflects the high recognition of the capital market for Story's business model, but also indicates that its growth potential has gained strong confidence from top investors.

On February 13, Story Protocol officially transitioned from the testnet to the mainnet, and the entire ecosystem was launched. At the same time, the native token $IP of the Story ecosystem entered the market and performed brilliantly, soaring from the opening price of $1 to a high of $7, becoming one of the most eye-catching assets in the recent market. This surge not only represents the market's high recognition of the Story ecosystem, but also means that Story, as a pioneer of the IP+blockchain narrative, is gradually realizing its potential value.

Of course, although many investors missed the early windfall of the $IP surge, the wealth effect of the Story ecosystem is still being released. As the liquidity hub of the Story ecosystem, D3X is becoming the successor to the wealth effect of the ecosystem, providing more users with a new entry point to enter the Story ecosystem and capture the dividends.

D3X, the New Entry Point for Wealth Effect: The Liquidity Aggregator of the Story Ecosystem

D3X is a on-chain trading ecosystem with outstanding AI capabilities, not only providing spot and on-chain derivative trading, but also using its AI engine to real-time insights into key data indicators in the on-chain market, including trading data, market sentiment (bullish, bearish), and emergencies, and can respond to market changes in milliseconds.

Its core product, the D3X Exchange, provides spot and on-chain perpetual contract trading, and integrates D3X's AI solutions, providing users with an intelligent trading assistant for the crypto market, realizing more efficient trading strategies.

In the new development stage of the Story Protocol ecosystem, D3X is accelerating its expansion, not only becoming the native DEX of the Story ecosystem in the early stage, but also building an important liquidity hub for the Story ecosystem.

With the launch of the Story mainnet, mainstream wallets such as OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, and Tomo Wallet have taken the lead in providing support, and D3X, as the core trading platform of the Story ecosystem, has deeply integrated with the above wallets and made simultaneous official announcements, allowing users to access the Story ecosystem directly through D3X as an entry point, further strengthening the liquidity and user coverage of the Story ecosystem.

In addition, D3X has also partnered with other key projects in the Story ecosystem. For example, the DEX project Piperx, which is committed to becoming a complete IPFi platform on the Story ecosystem, providing a liquidity layer to support the trading of programmable IP assets. Through integration with Piperx, D3X can collect liquidity data and use smart routing to optimize IP asset trading, providing liquidity aggregation services for IP assets in the Story ecosystem, similar to 1inch on the Story ecosystem, helping users seize early trading opportunities in the Story ecosystem and promoting the implementation of the IPFi narrative.

Against the backdrop of the $IP asset surge, D3X has taken the lead in launching the $IP token on its perpetual contract trading section, providing investors with more trading options. In addition, to promote $IP trading and further enhance the liquidity of the Story ecosystem, D3X has launched a special $IP trading competition, where participants can not only receive $IP token rewards, but also D3X points rewards, accelerating user growth and market activity in the Story ecosystem. As the trading competition is in full swing, D3X is continuously releasing the wealth effect for the Story ecosystem and further consolidating its position as the core trading platform of the Story ecosystem.

The New Engine of Wealth Effect

With the full operation of the Story ecosystem, D3X has not only become the liquidity hub and important entry point of the ecosystem, but is also becoming the engine of the wealth effect of the ecosystem.

Currently, D3X has not only launched a new points system, but is also about to launch a node revenue system.

The New Points System

Previously, D3X had launched a points system, where users needed to complete a series of social tasks to continuously earn points rewards, which could be used for subsequent airdrops and a series of ecosystem rights (such as priority experience of AI functions).

In D3X's new points system, most of the previous task points (such as invitations, account binding, social media interactions, etc.) have been deleted, and only the following remain:

• Daily Check-in: 100 points per day
• Invitation Reward: 100 points per invited person

In addition, a new mechanism of earning points through trading has been added: in the D3X perpetual contract trading section, users can earn 1 point for every $1 traded (1:1 exchange ratio), which means that D3X is further incentivizing users to accumulate points through perpetual contract trading on D3X.

In the trading points section, only perpetual contract trading on the D3X official website can be counted towards points. In addition, different trading pairs have minimum trading volume requirements, and the leverage size will also affect the required minimum capital (the higher the leverage, the lower the required capital). D3X's point balance will be updated periodically.

The new points system allows users to earn additional points rewards while trading, achieving dual benefits.

With the launch of the new points system, it is expected to become an important opportunity for users and D3X traders to capture future wealth in the Story ecosystem. At the same time, D3X's continued support for Story ecosystem assets, the new points system will also attract more users to enter the Story ecosystem, bringing more liquidity to early assets (especially some IP tokenized assets), further activating the Story ecosystem market.

D3X Nodes

Currently, D3X has also launched the Genesis Node, providing exclusive rights to ecosystem participants. The current price is 600 USDT, and users can purchase and receive a series of exclusive benefits, while the total number of nodes is only 25,000. Due to its scarcity, the price will continue to rise as the nodes are sold, which means the earlier the purchase, the lower the cost.

Holding a node can enjoy multiple benefits, the most core of which is the revenue rights.

According to the token distribution, D3X will use 20% of the total token supply for Genesis Node incentives, meaning that users holding nodes will participate in node mining after the token TGE. The mining token release rule is that 15% will be released in the first year, and the remaining 15% will be released gradually in the following years until the entire amount is mined.

In addition to node mining rewards, during the points system reward period, users who have purchased nodes can receive 1 point every 3 hours until the official mining starts, and node holders have the right to exchange 1 point = 1 token (only the points generated by the node can be exchanged for tokens, i.e. a maximum of 8 points = 8 D3X tokens per day), with a token exchange ratio much higher than ordinary users. This token reward will be unlocked in three months after the TGE, with 50% unlocked in the first month, 25% in the second month, and 25% in the third month.

In fact, from the perspective of D3X token distribution, the weight of node incentives is particularly prominent.

• Team: 10% (locked for 1 year, 2-year linear release)
• Profit distribution: 10% (for platform operations and ecosystem rewards)
• Institutional investment: 15% (locked for 8 months, 2-year linear release)
• Market making management: 10% (for enhancing market liquidity)
• Ecosystem: 30% (for ecosystem incentives, technical R&D, and strategic cooperation)
• Node incentives: 20% (for node mining)
• Airdrop rewards: 5% (for early user incentives)

Node incentives account for 20% of the total token supply, while airdrop rewards only account for 5%, which shows the significant incentive weight and long-term earning potential of the nodes.

At the same time, for users holding Genesis nodes, D3X will provide a series of partner token airdrop incentives and transaction fee buyback rewards.

In addition, the purchase of a node comes with a free 1-year subscription to the AI aggregator worth $1,000, which can significantly increase the earning potential of node holders in the trading market. Overall, node users can not only enjoy token incentives, but also prioritize the core functions of the ecosystem, and these early bird benefits will ultimately translate into long-term and substantial financial returns.

From the perspective of the D3X token itself, it not only plays a key role in the D3X ecosystem, but is also expected to play an important role in the Story ecosystem in the future, and further gain deep value empowerment, forming long-term market demand.

At the same time, the economic model of D3X also sets a token burning mining mechanism to reduce the circulating supply, with a burning ratio of 20% of the total supply, i.e., users can actively burn D3X tokens to receive system computing power rewards, with 1 token burned = 1 computing power earned, and a minimum burning threshold of 100 tokens. The computing power distribution rules are as follows:

• 1 token burned = 1 computing power earned
• Minimum burning threshold: 100 tokens
• Computing power distribution mechanism:
  • Total computing power ≥10 million: 100% distribution of token earnings
  • Total computing power <10 million: proportional distribution of excess burning

Node mining and burning mining are running in parallel, combined with the liquidity incentive mechanism, which helps to enhance the market value of the D3X token and the returns for holders. From an investment perspective, this mechanism not only effectively stabilizes the token supply, but also enhances the stickiness of holders, providing stable and substantial return expectations for long-term investors.

So in general, as D3X continues to expand into the Story ecosystem and formally launches its ecosystem earnings and rights system, it is gradually taking over the wealth effect of the $IP token, while helping the Story ecosystem realize the IPFi vision and opening a new door for users to achieve wealth growth.
