New York, NY – April 29, 2025 – Camp Network, a Layer-1 blockchain designed to modernize intellectual property (IP) infrastructure and empower the next generation of AI agents, today announced it has raised $30 million in funding. This includes a $4 million seed round in April 2024 and a $25 million Series A round co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital, with participation from dao5, Lattice, TrueBridge, Maven 11, Hypersphere, OKX, Paper Ventures, Protagonist, and others. This latest round values the company at $400 million.
Camp Network addresses the growing challenge of protecting creators' IP in the age of AI. As AI models are increasingly trained on content without consent or attribution, creators are losing control and compensation. Camp Network provides a solution by enabling users to register, own, and monetize their IP—such as art, code, and music—directly on-chain.
“Camp Network exists to solve the missing link between IP and AI,” said James Chi, Co-founder of Camp Network. “In a world where AI will generate the majority of content, provenance is no longer a feature—it’s the necessary foundation for making ownership and value enforceable by design.”
Camp Network's core innovation is its Proof of Provenance (PoP) protocol, a novel mechanism for registering IP on-chain with traceable origin, usage rights, and attribution. This protocol enables derivative creation, licensing, and monetization while facilitating transparent and verifiable interactions between AI agents and data.
The platform supports gasless IP registration and royalty distribution, along with isolated execution environments tailored for agent-based workflows and automated licensing. Developers can launch dedicated app chains with isolated blockspace and compute resources, providing the flexibility and scalability needed for high-performance applications.
"The team behind Camp Network has a compelling opportunity to build the on-chain equivalent of Hollywood—pioneering a new category of mass-market entertainment applications in crypto," said Peter Pan, Partner at 1kx.
“Camp Network is building foundational infrastructure for the internet’s next chapter where IP and AI are core primitives,” added Aleks Larsen, General Partner at Blockchain Capital. “As more content is created by or with AI, Camp Network ensures provenance, ownership, and compensation are embedded in the system from the start.”
Camp Network's growing ecosystem includes projects like RewardedTV, which leverages the platform to bring IP on-chain, structure capital formation around content, and power new AI-driven experiences. RewardedTV utilizes Camp Network's gasless royalty layer to license data to model developers and distribute payments seamlessly.
“Camp Network’s infrastructure is enabling models of participation and monetization that didn’t exist before,” said Michael Jelen, CEO of RewardedTV.
Camp Network's long-term vision is to become the world's largest repository of user-owned IP and the leading marketplace for rights-cleared training data.
About Camp Network:
Camp Network is the Autonomous IP Layer designed to power the future of IP and AI. As a Layer-1 blockchain, Camp is pioneering the Proof of Provenance Protocol, embedding IP registration, licensing, and royalty distribution directly at the execution layer while optimizing for agent-driven workflows.
