Can Blockchain Tame AI’s IP Problem?

Why It Matters

By providing on‑chain provenance and automated royalty enforcement, Camp Network could restore incentives for creators and curb the data monopoly of AI giants, reshaping how digital content is monetized in the AI era.

Summary

Large language models are increasingly trained on copyrighted material, raising concerns that creators are not compensated for the data they provide. Camp Network, a purpose‑built layer‑1 blockchain, proposes a proof‑of‑provenance protocol that lets creators register their works as NFTs with embedded licensing terms and royalty ranges, enabling smart contracts to automatically pay the native CAMP token whenever an AI model accesses the content. The protocol embeds royalty logic at the base layer rather than relying on marketplace cooperation, and its EVM‑compatible architecture already supports 141 dApps and SideCAMPs for various sectors. Launched in August 2025, CAMP has a 10 billion‑token supply, 2.1 billion in circulation, and token distribution that rewards early backers, developers and the ecosystem.
