Why did Camp Network @campnetworkxyz choose to build its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) instead of relying on existing public chains? The core reason lies in the inability of current infrastructure to meet the unique needs of the creative economy and AI workflows. The "incompatibility" of existing blockchains primarily stems from performance bottlenecks. The congestion, high gas fees, and slow block times of mainstream chains like Ethereum directly hinder the real-time publishing and interaction of creative content, as artists may have to wait for transaction confirmations or pay exorbitant fees. Additionally, there is a lack of functionality; traditional L1s lack native mechanisms for digital rights management (IP), such as automatic royalty distribution, or scalability designed for AI agents. Furthermore, the limitations of general-purpose chains are evident, as most public chains are optimized for financial scenarios, while Camp needs to customize the underlying logic for remix culture, AI-generated content, and decentralized collaboration. What are the targeted design features of Camp Network's self-built Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP)? High speed and low latency: Fast block times ensure that creators and AI agents can interact instantly, avoiding transaction delays that disrupt workflows. Built-in IP protocol: Native integration of royalty logic (such as automatic profit sharing on each content resale), eliminating the need for complex coding of external smart contracts. Modular expansion: Achieved through SideCAMPs (application-specific sub-chains). Isolated resources: Each dApp has its own block space, preventing network congestion (e.g., NFT platforms and AI training tools do not interfere with each other). Customizable rules: Music collaboration platforms can customize copyright splitting logic, and AI projects can optimize data storage structures. Camp Network's construction of its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) targets the future needs of AI + creativity, specifically reflected in: AI agent economy: AI-generated content requires on-chain rights confirmation, micropayments, and automated collaboration. On-chain AI model verification: Proving that content is generated by a specific AI. Inter-agent transactions: AI automatically pays data usage fees or copyright fees. Remix culture: Encouraging secondary creation while ensuring original creators' earnings through native royalties. Another reason Camp Network chose to build its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) is competitive differentiation. Unlike DeFi-first approaches, most L1s (like Solana and Avalanche) optimize for transaction throughput, while Camp optimizes for content creation, distribution, and monetization. Replacing the "broken system," the traditional creative industry relies on intermediaries (like streaming platforms taking 30%+ cuts), and Camp reconstructs distribution rules through on-chain transparency. In summary, Camp Network's construction of its own L1 is a "necessary infrastructure" driven by the pain points of creators. The delays, costs, and functional deficiencies of existing chains directly stifle innovation. This aligns with the trend of vertical-specific chains, similar to Axie's Ronin chain designed for gaming, while Camp is born for the creative economy. By building long-term ecological advantages and occupying the foundational layer of IP + AI, Camp may become the default choice for Web3 creative applications. In short, Camp's L1 is not just a technical upgrade; it is a reconstruction of creative production relationships that returns control from platforms to creators and AI itself.
