Camp Network Raises $30 Million to Build the First Autonomous IP Layer 1 Blockchain

Camp Network announced today that it has raised a total of $30 million, including its latest Series A funding round co-led by 1kx and Blockchain Capital, with participation from dao5, Lattice, TrueBridge, Maven 11, Hypersphere, OKX, Paper Ventures, Protagonist and others.

AI is rapidly reshaping the internet, and it poses an existential risk to all creators. As models continue to be trained on content taken without consent or attribution, creators are losing visibility into how their work is used—and losing the ability to participate in the value they generate.

Camp Network is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for the intersection of IP and AI. Its architecture prioritizes gasless IP registration and royalty distribution, and supports isolated execution environments for AI agents, secure handling of off-chain data, and native identity primitives.

“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,” said Peter Pan, General Partner at 1kx.

“Camp Network is building foundational infrastructure for the internet’s next chapter where IP and AI are core primitives,” said Aleks Larsen, General Partner at Blockchain Capital. “As more content is generated by AI, the need for transparent provenance and programmable licensing will only grow.”

Proof of Provenance Protocol

At the core is Camp Network’s Proof of Provenance protocol — a novel mechanism for registering IP onchain with traceable origin, usage rights, and attribution, while enabling derivative creation, licensing, and royalty distribution through programmable smart contracts.

“Model architecture is converging, and compute is cornered — the real frontier is training data,” said Rahul Doraiswami, CTO of Camp Network. “By anchoring provenance at the protocol layer, Camp turns IP into a programmable, composable asset class — one that can be licensed, remixed, and monetized with cryptographic guarantees.”

Growing Ecosystem

Camp Network’s growing ecosystem reflects the real-world demand for its infrastructure. Teams like RewardedTV are using Camp Network to bring IP onchain, structure capital formation around their content, and build interactive experiences.

“Camp Network’s infrastructure is enabling models of participation and monetization that didn’t exist before,” said Michael Jelen, CEO of RewardedTV. “From training agents on high-quality media to enabling collaborative IP attribution for crowdfunding, Camp is powering the next generation of media experiences.”

Looking Ahead

Long-term, Camp Network aims to build the world’s largest repository of user-owned IP and the leading marketplace for rights-cleared training data. By embedding provenance and permissioning at the protocol layer, Camp is positioning itself as critical infrastructure for the AI economy.
