# About StoryChain {% embed url="" %} StoryChain is an interactive storytelling platform where you create characters, build their lore, and bring them to life through AI chat. Users can explore open-ended conversations or play goal-oriented scenarios with clear objectives. Achievements are rewarded with badges (many mintable as NFTs), and creators earn when the community engages with their characters. **Core Pillars** * Storytelling: Build rich character backstories, worlds, and narratives that evolve with community input. * Character Creation: Design unique characters with images, personalities, and lore. Convert them into interactive chat agents. * Animation & Visuals: Unlock story arcs, animations, and world backgrounds as you create and grow your universe. * Chat Systems: Offer two experiences; open-ended exploration and scenario-based challenges with objectives and limited turns. * Creator Economy: Earn a share of the paid Energy used when others interact with your characters. **How It Works** 1. **Create Your Character** * Define a compelling backstory, personality, and visual identity. * Make your character “chattable” so others can interact with it. 2. **Choose the Chat Experience** * Open-Ended Exploration: Free-form conversations rooted in your character’s lore. * Goal-Oriented Challenges: Scenario-based stories with specific objectives, limited turns, and badge rewards. 3. **Discover and Play** * Explore characters via discovery filters (all, official, community, my). * Jump into scenarios with clear goals and earn badges upon completion. 4. **Collect, Compete, Improve** * Earn badges (and mint badge NFTs) for completing objectives. * Track progress and rankings via leaderboards (badges, messages, characters). * Iterate on your characters using analytics and community feedback. **Earning on StoryChain** * Energy Economy: Interactions (chat, hints, mints, scenarios) consume Energy. * Revenue Share: 30% of all paid Energy spent on your character is shared directly with you. * Analytics Dashboard: Monitor withdrawable balance, total monetized Energy, messages, likes, mints, and more. * Withdrawals: Claim your earnings once you meet the minimum threshold (e.g., $0.20).
