# Stories

#### Stories create a cultural chain of provenance as tokens pass between collectors

Art often gains cultural value due to its ownership history, but the true story lies beyond a simple list of former owners. It encompasses the unique experiences surrounding its history. Cryptoart holders can attach "stories" to their tokens, preserving the artwork's history and enabling it to collectively evolve as it passes from one collector to another.​ Stories can be in the form of text, images or short videos.  

#### Building Provenance

As tokens travels from collector to collector, the culture chain grows

* Each owner can add their own chapter to the token's history
* Previous stories remain intact, creating a permanent multimedia record of the piece's journey
