Company profile
researched Aug 2026Camp Network describes itself as an "Autonomous IP Layer": a Layer-1 blockchain built to modernize intellectual property infrastructure and support AI agents operating on verifiable IP. The stated premise is that AI development is outpacing the systems that protect creators, and that a blockchain-based registry can give creators enforceable ownership over works used in AI contexts.
The project organizes its positioning around three functions β allowing users to control their IP in an AI-native environment, enabling AI agents to train on user-owned IP through a global IP registry, and enabling participants to monetize the value they generate. The company reports that Camp Network mainnet is live, and publishes network activity figures including confirmations, blocks and 100 nodes.
Business model
Camp operates blockchain infrastructure β a Layer-1 network and associated IP registry β on which third-party developers and applications build, rather than selling an end-user product directly.
Traction
The company states that its mainnet is live and reports network statistics including 100 nodes and over one million confirmations. RewardedTV CEO Michael Jelen is cited on Camp's site describing use of the network for training recommendation agents with richer data and for collaborative IP attribution in crowdfunding.
Latest developments
In April 2025 Camp announced it had raised $30M in total, with its most recent Series A round co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital. The company also publishes research and commentary on AI and intellectual property rights, including posts in February 2025 on AI training on copyrighted material and ownership of AI-generated remixes.
