# UIG (Unleash IP Guard) UIG is an exclusive DAO community of 99 Story Protocol Guardians(Founders, Crypto VC, Community builders, etc) with the aim of supporting early-stage IP projects built on Story Protocol to further the expansion and growth of the Story Ecosystem. Also, we focus on nurturing juniors by people who are already active in Story Protocol. Members of UIG are individuals who have demonstrated significant contributions to the Story Protocol community as founders, builders, engineers, community leaders, product managers, and investors. Using the "hive mind" of a DAO, the Members will collectively vote and deploy early-stage investments in projects that aim to be the next mass adoption. Over time, UIG could evolve in a number of different directions as the Members have the right to vote on every matter including but not limited to the fundraising, operation, and closure of the DAO. The direction is completely up to the Members. More details about UIG's legal structure, operation, and funding process are outlined in this document. Please read them carefully before applying or becoming a Member of UIG. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
