The core reason why Camp Network @campnetworkxyz chose to build its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) instead of relying on the existing public chain is that the existing infrastructure cannot meet the specific needs of the creative economy and AI workflows The "incompatibility" of existing blockchains is the first choice is performance bottlenecks, and the congestion, high gas fees, and slow block generation times of mainstream chains such as Ethereum directly hinder the real-time release and interaction of creative content (such as artists waiting for transaction confirmation or paying high fees). Second, there is a lack of functionality, as traditional L1s lack mechanisms that natively support digital rights management (IP) (such as automatic royalty distribution) or scalability designed for AI agents. Again, most public chains are optimised for financial scenarios, while Camp needs to customise the underlying logic for mixing culture, AI-generated content, and decentralised collaboration What are the features of the targeted design of Camp Network's own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP)? High speed and low latency: Fast block generation time ensures that creators and AI agents can interact instantly, avoiding transaction delays and disrupting workflows Built-in IP protocol: Natively integrated royalty logic (such as automatic profit sharing for each content resale) without relying on complex coding of external smart contracts Modular expansion: Implemented through SideCAMPs (application-specific sub-chains). Segregated resources: Each dApp has its own block space to avoid network congestion (e.g., NFT platforms and AI training tools do not interfere with each other) Customized rules: The music collaboration platform can customise the copyright splitting logic, and the AI project can optimise the data storage structure Camp Network's construction of its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) is aimed at the future needs of AI + creativity, which is embodied in: AI agency economy: AI-generated content requires on-chain rights confirmation, micropayment, and automated collaboration On-chain AI model validation: Proof that the content is generated by a specific AI Broker-to-agent transactions: AI automatically pays data usage fees or royalties Remix Culture: Encourage secondary creation while ensuring the original creator's income through native royalties. Another reason why Camp Network chose to build its own Layer 1 blockchain (BaseCAMP) is the competitive differentiation, non-DeFi first, with most L1s (e.g., Solana, Avalanche) optimising transaction throughput and Camp optimising content creation, distribution, and monetisation. Alternative to the "broken system": The traditional creative industry relies on middlemen (such as streaming media platforms take a 30%+) system, and Camp reconstructs the distribution rules through on-chain transparency In general, Camp Network's construction of its own L1 is a "necessary infrastructure", driven by the pain points of creators, and the latency, cost, and lack of functionality of the existing chain will directly stifle innovation. At the same time, it is in line with the trend of Vertical-Specific Chain, similar to Axie's Ronin Chain is designed for games, and Camp is born for the creative economy. By constructing long-term ecological advantages and occupying the basic layer of IP+AI, Camp may become the default choice for Web3 creative applications. In short, Camp's L1 is not only a technological upgrade, but also a reconstruction of the creative production relationship, which is to return control from the platform to the creator and the AI itself
