On December 5, the generative AI storytelling startup Sekai announced that it had completed a $3.1 million seed round of financing, led by Hashed. According to reports, Sekai aims to use Story Protocol to turn storytelling into a "multiplayer experience", allowing those who are interested in telling stories to co-create with others with the help of generative AI on its platform. At the same time, Sekai hopes to provide creators with the ability to protect their intellectual property rights and profit from them. (The Block)
