ArcStory AI is an innovative web application that combines the power of artificial intelligence, storytelling, and blockchain micro-payments. It allows users to create short, emotional stories from a simple text prompt and listen to a teaser for free. To unlock the complete story and high-quality AI voice narration, the user pays a small tip of just 50 cents in USDC on the Arc testnet. The project demonstrates a real-world use case for AI content monetization through decentralized finance. It eliminates middlemen and complex payment gateways, offering creators a simple way to earn instantly for their work. The frontend connects with MetaMask for wallet authentication, while the Flask-based backend uses Web3.py for smart contract transactions. The AIML API handles story generation, and ElevenLabs powers realistic text-to-speech. The app is fully hosted on Railway for smooth and secure deployment. ArcStory AI proves that creativity and blockchain can work hand in hand β empowering creators to turn imagination into income, one story at a time.
