This section demonstrates how to dispute an IP on Story. There are many instances where you may want to dispute an IP - whether that IP is or is not owned by you. Disputing IP on Story is easy thanks to our Dispute Module and the UMA Arbitration Policy.

Let’s say you register a drawing, and then someone else registers that drawing with 1 pixel off. You can dispute it along a IMPROPER_REGISTRATION tag, which communicates potential plagiarism.

In this tutorial, you will simply learn how to flag an IP as being disputed.

​
Prerequisites

There are a few steps you have to complete before you can start the tutorial.

  1. Complete the TypeScript SDK Setup
  2. Have a basic understanding of the Dispute Module

​
1. Dispute an IP

To dispute an IP Asset, you will need:

  • The targetIpId of the IP Asset you are disputing (we use a test one below)
  • The targetTag that you are applying to the dispute. Only whitelisted tags can be applied.
  • A cid (Content Identifier) is a unique identifier in IPFS that represents the dispute evidence you must provide, as described here (we use a test one below).

Note you can only provide a CID one time. After it is used, it can’t be used as evidence again.

Create a main.ts file and add the code below:

main.ts
import { client } from "./utils";
import { parseEther } from "viem";

async function main() {
  const disputeResponse = await client.dispute.raiseDispute({
    targetIpId: "0x6b42d065aDCDA6fA83B59ad731841360dC5321fB",
    // NOTE: you must use your own CID here, because every time it is used,
    // the protocol does not allow you to use it again
    cid: "QmbWqxBEKC3P8tqsKc98xmWNzrzDtRLMiMPL8wBuTGsMnR",
    // you must pick from one of the whitelisted tags here: https://docs.story.foundation/concepts/dispute-module#dispute-tags
    targetTag: "IMPROPER_REGISTRATION",
    bond: parseEther("0.1"), // minimum of 0.1
    liveness: 2592000,
    txOptions: { waitForTransaction: true },
  });
  console.log(
    `Dispute raised at transaction hash ${disputeResponse.txHash}, Dispute ID: ${disputeResponse.disputeId}`
  );
}

main();
