Story Protocol CDR testnet goes live, becoming a blockchain cooperation partner for the Seoul exchange

Story Protocol announced via the X social platform on April 16 that the first version of its confidential data rail (CDR) protocol has been officially deployed on the Story testnet (Aeneid). On the same day, it confirmed that Story will serve as the exclusive blockchain infrastructure provider for the Seoul Exchange over the next three years, providing technical and ecosystem support for the Korea real-world assets (RWA) market.

CDR Testnet: Technical Architecture and Function Overview

According to the Story Protocol technical announcement, CDR is a general-purpose secure data transmission framework that uses a decentralized trusted execution environment (TEE) group. It achieves private data protection and dynamic access control through on-chain state synchronization, ensuring that data flows securely in AI and general-purpose scenarios under full encryption throughout the process and on the condition that it does not leave the specified scope.

According to the announcement, CDR’s core technical features are as follows:

· End-to-end encryption throughout; data does not leave the specified scope

· Read and write access conditions are specified separately by smart contract addresses, supporting advanced controls such as multi-signature authorization and time-window access

· Supports secure sharing of API keys and integrated certificates

· Uses a Vault architecture to implement programmable access control for on-chain private data

The Story Protocol technical announcement explains that CDR can convert private data into programmable, composable on-chain objects, dynamically controlling data accessors, access time, and compute types in the form of smart contracts. The announcement also lists key application scenarios, including private on-chain data storage, data trading markets, confidential query markets, multi-party confidential data collaboration, and an autonomous object architecture that combines with a verifiable confidential compute engine (VCCE).

Seoul Exchange Collaboration: Positioning in the Korean RWA Market

According to a Story Protocol X post on April 16, Story confirmed that it will serve as the exclusive blockchain infrastructure provider for the Seoul Exchange over the next three years. In the post, Story Protocol quotes: “From K-pop to patents, Korean RWA will operate based on intellectual property rights. In Seoul—the world’s second-largest crypto market by cryptocurrency trading volume in won—Story will become the exclusive blockchain infrastructure provider for the Seoul Exchange over the next three years.”

According to the Story Protocol technical announcement, this is the first infrastructure deployment of the protocol in the Korean RWA market. The technical support scope includes the exchange’s data security handling architecture.
