Incentive Distribution
Verio IP Asset Incentives
Verio stores incentive funds in a pool that is utilized by IP assets automatically whenever they meet the pre-defined qualifications. Both the IP asset owner and stakers will be rewarded. To qualify, an IP asset simply needs to meet or exceed a minimum stake threshold of 100 vIP. Once eligible, rewards begin flowing automatically from the incentive pool.
We're currently targeting around 10% annualized yield for qualifying assets — a level designed to reward early participation while ensuring long-term sustainability.
Incentives are split between two parties:
25% to IP asset owners. IP asset owners claim their share directly from the royalty vault. Note that an IP asset with non-commerical license will not have a royalty vault, so the yield will be sent directly to the IP asset owner address in the form of WIP (wrapped IP).
75% to IP asset stake pool. Stakers can claim their share from the stake pool associated with the IP.
The yield is distribute continuously, so any changes in stake weight will immediately affect the annualized yield for that IP asset. This structure aligns incentives across creators and supporters, making staking not just a signal of support, but a yield-generating commitment. The below chart shows the stake-weight-based-incentives earned by the ip asset owner and the stakers.

Protocol Designated Incentives
Verio allocates a portion of our protocol fees directly to incentivizing IP assets. The primary source of these fees is our staking reward fee, which is deducted from validator rewards. Essentially, Verio converts network inflation and protocol operation fees directly into IP asset incentives. This means the more users stake and interact with IP assets, the more incentives will be available for all IP on Story.
