Camp Network will enable users to register content, including art, music, and more, with clear usage rights. “Camp Network exists to solve the missing link between IP and AI.

However, before utilizing the data, developers must agree to the usage rights, including royalties, which are embedded within smart contracts. At that point, whenever an AI agent uses the data, the blockchain automatically calculates royalties and executes payments to creators. The entire process happens on-chain, with tokens deposited directly into the creator’s wallets. “The team behind Camp Network has a compelling opportunity to build the onchain equivalent of Hollywood — pioneering a new category of mass-market entertainment applications in crypto,” Peter Pan, Partner at 1kx. 1kx was one of the early backers of Celestia, while Blockchain Capital is one of the oldest VCs focused on crypto. Other investors in Camp Network include dao5, Lattice, Maven 11, Hypersphere, and OKX.
