Story Protocol Co-Founder Jason Zhao Exits to Launch Disruptive AI Project—What’s Next for Web3?
Story Protocol Co-Founder Jason Zhao Exits to Launch Disruptive AI Project—What’s Next for Web3?

Jason Zhao, co-founder of Story Protocol, steps away from the Web3 heavyweight to chase an AI moonshot. The move sparks chatter about founder departures in crypto—and whether AI is the new shiny object distracting builders from real decentralization.
Zhao’s pivot follows a familiar script: blockchain visionary jumps ship for artificial intelligence. Will his exit leave Story Protocol scrambling, or is this just another 'decentralized' project losing its figurehead to the siren song of Silicon Valley VC dollars?
One thing’s certain: in crypto, founder departures rarely move markets—unless they’re dumping tokens on the way out. (We’re watching, Jason.)
