**[Story to Launch Confidential IP Database "IP Vault," Planned to Go Live on Developer Network This Year]** BlockBeats News, September 12 – Story announced that it will launch "IP Vault," which is planned to go live on the Dev Network later this year. The testnet and mainnet are scheduled for release in 2026. Story stated that IP Vault is a secure on-chain storage space attached to IP assets, designed to store confidential IP data on Story. These IP Vaults are network-protected and can only be accessed by IP owners and their license holders. The Vault itself does not store the original files but instead holds the encryption keys used to unlock these files, regardless of where the files are hosted (e.g., IPFS, Shelby). Once an IP owner registers their IP, they can attach confidential information to the IP Vault at any time.
