Today's music platforms are not working for artists. The current streaming royalty models generate insufficient revenue and prevent artists from receiving direct support from their community. Social media platforms also fail to provide the necessary information for artists to identify their audience and create personalized fan experiences.

If you think the joint lawsuits filed by Warner Music, Sony, UMG, Atlantic, and other major labels against Suno and Udio are about protecting artists' music, then I wish I had your optimism.

Campers - it’s time to give a warm welcome to the newest members of our Builder’s Cohort. Today, REBL, Union Avatars, and Wonderverse are joining us on our mission to innovate web3 entertainment and reinvent online interactions.

Camp aggregates online user data, enabling users to own and monetize on their identity while giving protocols the insights they need to build immersive user experiences.

We’re proud to announce our collaboration with Privy to bring the ease and familiarity of social logins and one-time passwords (OTP) into the realm of web3. This partnership signifies a major stride in user experience by seamlessly integrating the convenience of web2 with the security and ownership of web3 technologies.

Celebrities are minting their own cryptocurrencies, and it’s as wild as it sounds. Just a few days ago, Caitlyn Jenner kicked things off with $JENNER, followed by Iggy Azalea with $MOTHER. Since then, a parade of celebrities, from Trippie Redd to Soulja Boy, Davido, and Lil Pump, have jumped on the memecoin bandwagon. But behind the glitz and glamor of these celebrity tokens lies a dark underbelly of pump and dumps, where fans often end up as the unwitting victims. Here’s why Camp could be the knight in shining armor that fans deserve.

Camp is on a mission to amplify the potential of existing protocols through innovative partnerships. Audius, a decentralized music streaming platform, is a perfect candidate for this. While Audius empowers artists and fans by cutting out intermediaries, integrating with Camp could elevate their user experience even further. Here’s a look at how this could work:

Blackbird is one of the more interesting protocols to be birthed during this bull run. They’re a Web3 hospitality app that’s making waves in the dining scene. Blackbird rewards users for visiting participating restaurants and minting NFTs via NFC verification. They’ve done a great job of creating an accessible UX and limiting friction, but we think they could use Camp’s data availability later to elevate the experience even further. Let’s dive into how this would look:

Camp Network is a composable data layer that is shaping the future for blockchain-based consumer applications. Camp Network utilizes off-chain data from Web2 social and streaming platforms for on-chain value creation. Any team building on top of the Camp L2 can access user data, with the goal of creating a sustainable app-friendly ecosystem. Our 75+ team ecosystem consists of blue-chip teams (LayerZero, Privy, Rarible) along with 10+ native / exclusive teams across the entertainment, media and gamefi segments. We’re looking to expand this ecosystem by helping nascent teams find superior PMF on our chain.
