Hi everyone,
At Cumulo, we have been building infrastructure and tooling around Story Mainnet with a simple goal: to contribute operational visibility and developer-facing utilities that are reliable, transparent, and fully under our control.
We recently deployed two internal tools that are now publicly available:
- Block Explorer
cumulo.pro/services/story/stats
This is a lightweight explorer for Story Mainnet built from scratch, without relying on third-party infrastructure that we do not control. It publishes real-time network and validator data, including:
- consensus and chain status
- validator uptime
- active set and staking health indicators
- block timing and activity metrics
- main network parameters
The objective is to provide a clean and direct view of Story’s operational state, with a focus on availability and clarity.
- License Explorer
cumulo.pro/services/story/license
This tool is focused on on-chain license inspection for Story Protocol.
It queries the Story API directly to decode the PIL terms associated with any IP Asset or ERC-721 collection, and surfaces the most relevant licensing data in a readable way. Among other things, it currently supports:
- lookup by IP Asset ID or collection contract address
- automatic detection of license flavor from smart contract parameters
- support for PIL variants such as NC-SR, COM-R, COM, and CC-BY
- inspection of derivative lineage through parent-child IP relationships
- display of disputes, minting fees, revenue share, and related license settings
- visibility into registration and collection-level metadata
The idea here is to make Story’s licensing layer easier to inspect for builders, validators, and ecosystem participants who want faster access to what is actually configured on-chain.
We are sharing both tools in case they are useful to others working in the ecosystem, and we would be glad to hear any feedback, suggestions, or ideas for improvement.
As validators, we believe that contributing useful infrastructure and practical tooling is one of the best ways to support the network beyond core node operations.
Thanks everyone.
