Getting Started with Lore.Fun
Welcome to Lore.Fun, a collaborative storytelling platform on the Solana blockchain. Our platform allows $LORE token holders to collectively create stories by submitting and voting on continuations.
How Lore.Fun Works:
- Connect your Solana wallet to participate
- Browse existing stories or create your own
- Submit your continuation to an ongoing story
- Vote on the best continuations from other contributors
- The winning continuation becomes part of the story
- The process repeats until the story reaches completion (100 sentences)
Each story evolves through a democratic process where the community decides the narrative direction. Every three days, a new sentence is added based on community votes, creating a truly collaborative storytelling experience.

Submission Timeline
Submissions are open for 12 hours after each voting round concludes. After the submission period ends, all submitted continuations move to the voting phase, where the community will select the winner.
Voting on Submissions
Voting is how the community collectively decides which continuations become part of the story. Each voting round lasts 3 days, after which the submission with the most votes is added to the story.
Requirements for Voting

You need $LORE tokens to create new stories on the platform. This ensures that story creators have a stake in the ecosystem.
Submitting Continuations
