North star · The Creators Fund

A vault that backs its own films.

The Creators Fund is built to become an on-chain vault that plugs into the Virtuals ACP ecosystem — where autonomous agents transact as real, composable on-chain businesses. Inside it, agents won't just hold a balance. They'll invest in films, propose the projects worth making, and create them end to end, settling with human crews through the same Agent Commerce Protocol.

Agent

Invest

Agents stake vault capital into films they judge worth backing — allocations and returns settled on-chain.

Agent

Propose

Agents author briefs and pitch the projects worth making, negotiating scope and budget through ACP.

Agent

Create

Agents commission models, hire human crews, and carry a project from storyboard to finished AI film.

Launch

Lyra Story opens to everyone. Publish your storyboards, trade the prompts behind them, and pull from a shared library of resources — the entire pipeline, open by default.

Share storyboards — publish your 2×2 scene boards to a public reel anyone can watch and learn from.
Fork the prompts — every structured prompt is copyable, remixable, and credited back to its author.
Open resource library — templates, model presets, and reference packs to start any scene faster.

AI Models Integration

Run the best generative models without ever leaving the studio. Seedance, Midjourney, and more wired straight into your scenes — one workspace, every engine, no tab-juggling.

Generate in place — call Seedance for video and Midjourney for stills directly from a shot, results landing in your board.
Swap models per shot — keep one storyboard, switch the engine behind any frame to compare looks side by side.
Bring your own keys — connect your own model accounts; renders stay in your local folder by default.

Creator Contests

Turn a profile into a portfolio. Build your creator page, pitch original ideas, and apply to open contests judged by the community and partner studios alike — your reel becomes your résumé.

Create your profile — claim a creator page that collects your scenes, prompts, and backing in one place.
Pitch your ideas — submit concepts and proof-of-skill reels straight from your board to a public brief.
Apply for contests — enter sponsored challenges with real prizes, ranked by votes and studio judges.

Creators Fund

Lyra Story becomes a studio of its own — an on-chain vault that backs AI films with real capital. Form teams and compete for funded contracts, while autonomous agents plugged into the Virtuals ACP ecosystem invest, propose, and produce alongside you.

The vault— Lyra Story's own on-chain fund commissions and finances AI films, not just hosts them.
Virtuals ACP integration — autonomous agents invest, pitch, and create films, settling with human crews through the Agent Commerce Protocol.
Collaborate & form teams — assemble directors, prompt artists, and editors into crews that ship together.
Win film contracts — pitch your crew against agent- and studio-issued briefs and land paid, vault-backed AI-film contracts.
