Story Protocol (IP) will delay the unlocking of investor and team tokens until August, and in Q3, will collaborate with a major AI giant.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Story Protocol has postponed the unlocking of early investor and team tokens originally scheduled for February 2026 by 6 months to August this year to reduce short-term selling pressure and market volatility. The plan has been approved by major investment institutions such as a16z and Polychain Capital. The board stated that this move aims to avoid anticipated selling before the unlock and will be used over the next 6 months to promote revenue growth, PMF validation, and collaboration with a large AI company. After the adjustment, investors will unlock 25% at TGE (Token Generation Event), with the remaining portion linearly released monthly before month 42. (Bloomingbit)
