This report is authored by Tiger Research, analyzing the innovations of Camp Network in AI-native IP infrastructure and its position in the evolving data sovereignty economy.
Core Points
Data, as its core driving force, propels the development of artificial intelligence, but experts predict that this data will run out by 2026. This creates a severe bottleneck crisis for advancements in artificial intelligence technology.
Camp Network addresses this issue by enabling users to secure ownership of their data while allowing artificial intelligence to pay a fair cost for the usage of licensed data. Camp Network proposes the 'Proof of Provenance' protocol to facilitate this exchange.
Through this approach, Camp Network simultaneously achieves advancements in artificial intelligence technology and protection of intellectual property. Camp Network creates a new economic ecosystem that allows everyone to benefit mutually.
1. Data is all we need
Artificial intelligence technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace. Data has always been its core. AI models evolve by learning from vast amounts of human-created text, images, and videos. In this sense, artificial intelligence is essentially intelligence built from data.
Data exhaustion prediction, source: Will we run out of data? The limits of LLM based on human-generated data.
However, the data-driven development has now reached its limits. High-quality data is running out. Major foundational models like GPT have consumed most of the accessible internet data. They use this data for training. Data that is easy to collect has been exhausted. The future outlook is worse. Recent studies show a worrying trend. By 2026, human-generated data will be nearly depleted. This includes future content creation.
Currently, some large tech companies scrape user data without permission. They try to address this shortage. Reddit has sued Anthropic for unauthorized scraping. Anthropic used Reddit's data to train its Claude AI. This raises ethical concerns. Most users are unaware that companies are using their data. They also receive no compensation.
The current situation has created a vicious cycle. Without new data, the artificial intelligence industry will hit a wall. Users are increasingly distrustful of unauthorized data usage. Both sides are dissatisfied. Data-hungry companies need more content. Users who own data need protection. This sacrifices both the progress of artificial intelligence and data protection.
2. Camp Network: Layer-1 Blockchain Focused on the Intersection of AI x IP
It is at this moment that Camp Network comes into focus. They introduce cutting-edge infrastructure for the era of artificial intelligence. This addresses the challenges of data scarcity and unauthorized use. The initial solutions provided by Camp Network allow users to carry social data from YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Users carry this data like a portable 'digital backpack.' They utilize this data in diverse on-chain environments. This approach enables users to directly control their data. It ensures users are compensated. This lays the foundation for enhanced data sovereignty.

Camp Network did not stop there. They leverage accumulated experience and technology. This helps them extend their scope beyond social data. They target the field of intellectual property. Their aim is to comprehensively protect all user data. Camp Network announced a revolutionary vision in 2025. They call it the 'Autonomous IP Layer.' This marks a significant transformation. This vision attracted $30 million in Series A funding. 1kx led this round of financing. Blockchain Capital led this round of financing. They secured this foundation to achieve new growth milestones.

Camp Network presents the autonomous intellectual property layer as foundational infrastructure. It serves at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and intellectual property (IP). Its core revolves around the 'Proof of Provenance' protocol. Users register their data on-chain through this protocol. Artificial intelligence utilizes this data layer. Royalties are automatically settled based on preset conditions.
Camp Network provides three components to realize this vision. BaseCAMP and SideCAMP form the blockchain infrastructure. The Origin framework handles on-chain intellectual property registration and management. The mAItrix framework supports the development of artificial intelligence agents. These components work together to build an organic ecosystem from intellectual property registration to utilization and monetization.
2.1. BaseCAMP & SideCAMP: Scalable, IP-focused Infrastructure
Camp Network provides blockchain infrastructure consisting of BaseCAMP and SideCAMP.

BaseCAMP serves as a 'Global State Manager.' It centrally manages all network activities. It operates as a ledger. This ledger records who registered which intellectual property. It records where intellectual property is used. It records how settlements occur. Camp Network builds a trustworthy intellectual property ecosystem through this method. BaseCAMP goes further. It provides features optimized for intellectual property. It prioritizes transactions related to intellectual property. This enhances processing speed. It eliminates gas fees. This reduces the burden on users.
SideCAMPs serve as dedicated execution spaces for single applications. Each project receives an independent environment. They do not compete with other dApps. Cross-messaging capabilities enable smooth interaction. Different SideCAMPs can interact. This avoids isolation. It provides scalability. SideCAMP also offers flexibility. It can optimize specific workloads. These include artificial intelligence inference (AI inference). They include gaming. They include intellectual property licensing (IP licensing).
However, some have raised concerns about the structural integrity of Camp Network's infrastructure. Intellectual property inherently requires global consensus. It is an asset. Systems handling intellectual property need global consensus. They require verified security like Ethereum. This reflects that viewpoint.
Camp Network initially began the development of Layer 2. This inherits the security of Ethereum. However, implementing specific functions for intellectual property exposed limitations. Existing blockchain infrastructure has limitations. This led to the independent development of Layer 1. For example, a music intellectual property can generate a large amount of derivative content. This includes remixes. It includes covers. It includes sampling. This requires multiple smart contract calls. These calls handle dozens of different ownerships. They handle revenue distribution. This process incurs high gas fees. It reduces processing speed. A general transaction environment may tolerate delays. But future artificial intelligence agents will operate 24/7. They use real-time data. They require instant settlement. They will face critical bottlenecks.
Camp Network identifies that the complexity of intellectual property requires solutions. A real-time AI-IP interaction environment requires optimized Layer 1 infrastructure. These technological demands have spawned the current structure. This forms the background for the current BaseCAMP and SideCAMP architecture.
2.2. Origin: A Unified Framework for Intellectual Property Registration and Management
Origin is the core intellectual property framework on Camp Network. It covers registration of intellectual property. It handles management. It encompasses utilization. It manages revenue distribution.
Users upload diverse content intellectual properties through various channels. They use dApps developed based on the Origin SDK. They use the marketplace provided by Camp Network. Content includes text. It includes images. It includes music. This content is recorded on-chain and becomes NFTs based on the ERC 721 standard. Licensing terms are configured at registration. Royalty distribution rules are also configured simultaneously. Afterwards, someone creates derivative content based on the original content. Revenue automatically flows to the original content creator. This completes the entire structure.
The biggest feature of Origin is constructing intellectual property relationships in a 'graph' format. A derivative of a work becomes a new smart contract. But they are linked to the original content through parent-child relationships. The royalties generated from derivative content will trigger automatic distribution to the parent intellectual property. Users can clearly see the entire lineage of the content.
The Origin framework also attracts developers and creators. The Origin SDK enables developers to easily build intellectual property applications. They do not need complex blockchain knowledge. Core functionalities are built into the SDK. These include intellectual property registration (Onboard). They include derivative content creation (Remix). They include metadata search (Query). They include revenue distribution (Monetize). They include permission management (Permissioning). Developers can build a complete intellectual property ecosystem with just a few lines of code.
Origin supports an on-chain dispute resolution mechanism. Intellectual property involves sensitive areas like copyright infringement. Anyone can contest suspicious intellectual property. Camp DAO makes the final ruling. Sometimes, parent intellectual property enters a state of dispute. All derived intellectual properties automatically inherit this dispute status. This systematically and rigorously manages complex intellectual property issues.
Origin is not just a tool for minting intellectual property as NFTs. It operates as an on-chain copyright system. It transparently tracks everything from the creation source to the utilization process and revenue distribution. It automatically executes these processes.
2.3. mAItrix Framework: Intellectual Property Native AI Agent Development Framework
mAItrix provides an integrated SDK for the development, training, and deployment of artificial intelligence agents. It works in conjunction with the Origin framework, connecting the entire process into a pipeline. This covers the training of AI models using on-chain intellectual property to the generation of derivative content through artificial intelligence agents.
The core focus of mAItrix is on training and utilizing artificial intelligence. It only uses licensed data. Traditional artificial intelligence indiscriminately collects all internet data. It uses this data for learning. mAItrix operates differently. It only uses data with clear ownership. This data is registered in Origin. This allows creators to receive fair compensation. They are rewarded for their data being used. Artificial intelligence developers can safely develop AI. They avoid legal disputes.
This approach goes beyond mere technological improvements. It presents a new paradigm for the entire industry. In the past, illegal downloads were rampant in the music market. Streaming services like Spotify established fair payment systems. The market even grew larger. Similar changes are expected in the artificial intelligence and intellectual property market.
mAItrix also simplifies complex processes. It helps deploy artificial intelligence agents. It assists in running artificial intelligence agents. It builds environments for multiple artificial intelligence agents to interact. The artificial intelligence agents developed through mAItrix can serve as intellectual property assets. They are tokenized through Origin. They are registered on-chain. Other users leverage them. Other agents utilize them. Developers receive automatically allocated royalties each time. New content generated by artificial intelligence agents. This is registered as new intellectual property. It becomes an additional source of income.
mAItrix aims to create a developer-friendly platform. It provides developers with maximum freedom. They can freely utilize any artificial intelligence model. TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) securely protects sensitive data. TEE refers to Trusted Execution Environment. This prevents external leaks.
Camp Network plans to develop mAItrix in three phases. The v1 version is currently being prepared. It will provide an integrated environment. Developers can directly use registered intellectual property in Origin to train artificial intelligence. It offers a more user-friendly interface than existing AI tools. The goal of v2 is to become 'Vercel for Agents.' This will facilitate easy deployment of AI. It avoids complex server setups. The final v3 will provide intelligent routing services. Users can say 'create music' or 'generate image.' The system will automatically find the appropriate agent. It connects AIs specialized in music or image generation.
3. How is it different from other intellectual property-based protocols?
Camp Network has taken a different approach compared to existing intellectual property-related protocols. Comparing it with Story and Soneium makes these differences clear.
Story and Soneium focus on leveraging and managing traditional Web2 intellectual property on the blockchain. Their main goal is to improve the management efficiency of existing intellectual property. This includes copyrights held by major entertainment companies and media groups. It also enhances scalability. This represents a meaningful approach to helping the existing intellectual property industry undergo digital transformation.
Camp defines user-owned intellectual property as a broader concept. It refers to all digital data and content created by users. This includes YouTube videos, Instagram photos, and TikTok content. All forms of personal data apply. Camp goes further. It focuses on integrating this user data with artificial intelligence. Camp's design is predicated on the integration of artificial intelligence and intellectual property. AI agents learn from licensed personal data and generate new content. This is also registered as new intellectual property. This constructs a complete pipeline. Camp's core idea is to create a win-win structure. It advances artificial intelligence technology while protecting user data.
Camp's ultimate goal goes beyond simple intellectual property management. It builds a new economic ecosystem where all participants share value fairly. This includes individual creators. It includes artificial intelligence developers. What Camp provides is not just a digital transformation of the existing intellectual property industry. It presents a completely new paradigm for creation and collaboration suitable for the era of artificial intelligence.
4. The Future of Artificial Intelligence Technology and Intellectual Property Protection
Data exhaustion and legal disputes represent the current crisis of the artificial intelligence era. Unauthorized scraping has triggered these disputes. They are not future problems. Predictions show worrying trends. By 2026, human-generated data will be nearly depleted. The lawsuit issues involving Reddit and Anthropic showcase structural limitations. Existing methods of AI development face these limitations.
Camp Network proposes fundamental solutions to these issues. It addresses both supply and consumption problems. It leverages a new ecosystem that merges artificial intelligence and intellectual property. These ecosystems center around user-owned data. The Proof of Provenance protocol clarifies the source of intellectual property. Artificial intelligence learns from data. It automatically distributes royalties. This transforms one-sided data exploitation into a mutually beneficial system.
This approach has already yielded substantial results. The Camp ecosystem currently registers 300,000 unique intellectual properties. It has created 4 million unique wallets. This demonstrates massive user adoption. Over 60 teams are using Camp Network's infrastructure to develop various applications. Cases combining artificial intelligence and intellectual property are emerging across multiple fields such as music, gaming, and sports.
The role of Camp Network will become even more important in the future. Artificial intelligence agents will become widespread. Agents will directly generate intellectual property. They will collaborate with other agents. They will automatically handle permissions. These environments require infrastructure. This infrastructure must be able to quickly track complex networks of relationships. It must manage them efficiently. Existing intellectual property workflows are slow and expensive. They cannot meet these demands. Camp is ready with this foundation.
The ultimate goal of Camp Network is to become the core solution. It targets the data issues of the era of artificial intelligence. It aims to be the standard for the new intellectual property ecosystem. It presents a new paradigm. These address the fundamental issues of data scarcity in the artificial intelligence industry. They address individuals' rights to data sovereignty. This creates a foundation. Creators pursue mutual benefit. Developers pursue mutual benefit. AI systems pursue mutual benefit. They grow together. This ecosystem has generated over 50 million transactions. The collaboration between artificial intelligence and intellectual property has become an actual economic system in operation. They are no longer just concepts.
