Who is Camp Network?

Camp Network is the modular identity layer across blockchains. Camp aggregates online user data from Web2 platforms and brings it onchain, enabling users to own and monetize their identity while helping applications build personalized experiences that lead to better user retention.

Why Camp?

At Camp Network, they are building a modular identity layer that brings verified first party data from web2 platforms on-chain. Built as a Layer-2 on OP’s Superchain, Camp allows users to own and monetize on their digital identity while enabling protocols to build better, personalized user experiences. Camp has established an impressive ecosystem of 150+ partners, 30+ of which are exclusive, from leading projects across consumer, social, music and entertainment. Join Camp in their mission to onboard and enable the next generation of consumer applications onchain.

The Camp Network’s Vision

Camp’s vision is to empower both users and applications with its identity layer, allowing users to seamlessly onboard their Web2 identities onchain while reducing customer acquisition costs and increasing retention for developers. By fostering a more decentralized and user-centric approach, Camp Network can enhance the overall value of its identity ecosystem for both users and blockchain applications.

Camp Network’s Role in the Onchain Consumer Revolution

Camp Network solves the problem of inadequate user identity data in Web3, a problem which has hindered product-market fit and the creation of personalized app experiences. By aggregating verified Web2 data on-chain, Camp enables users to own and monetize their identities while providing protocols with valuable user data that is needed to build immersive and engaging user experiences. Their approach to data verification, permissioning and access via zk-TLS and trusted execution environments address key privacy risks and centralization issues that exist in Web2. Camp is uniquely positioned to foster dapp innovation and user trust, and has the potential to facilitate the onboarding of the next 100 million people to the blockchain.

The Plan - Partnership Between OPL and Camp Network

‍OnePiece Labs and Camp Network are joining forces to cultivate a global Web3 and decentralized identity ecosystem. OnePiece Labs will orchestrate a series of events for developers and innovators, including:

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Camp Network, founded on shared community values and a commitment to growth, focused on empowering Web3 projects to drive innovation and advance the development of consumer applications onchain.

WHY WORK WITH CAMP NETWORK

Bullish on User Identity

In Web2, there are countless examples of companies building sustainable business models that are rooted on user identity. Understanding a user’s interests and personalizing app experiences towards those preferences unlock rigorous product development cycles that drive increased personalization and app retention. Without identity, customer acquisition costs are infinite. Many decentralized applications lack the data needed for sustainable growth and often rely on short-term incentives such as airdrops and points programs, resulting in low-retention and ultimate failure.

Camp Network addresses this by being the first identity layer to aggregate Web2 social data on-chain. This allows users to own and monetize their data, enabling dApps to build user experiences that are personalized and lead to stronger retention.

Bullish on Camp, the World’s First Identity Layer

  • Data is King

Web3 teams struggle with product-market fit due to a lack of user identity data. With the right data, protocols can create tailored experiences and build self-sustaining ecosystems.

  • Centralized Data Ownership is Problematic

Web2 companies control user data, posing privacy risks and stifling innovation due to security breaches and loss of user trust.

  • Camp Offers a Novel Approach

Camp Network aggregates verified Web2 data onchain, enabling users to own and monetize their identities. This helps teams build better experiences and can potentially onboard the next 100 million people to the blockchain.

Bullish on the Camp Team

I first met Nirav Murthy in 2022 when he was deeply immersed in developing a Web3 Membership dApp and diligently seeking $200,000 in funding. At that time, we were envisioning the upcoming bull market from my Santa Clara office and strategizing on how to prepare for it.

Fast forward to 2024, and Camp Network has evolved into a robust platform valued at $100M, transforming from a simple application into a blockchain with its own ecosystem. Having navigated the bear market together, our partnership is now stronger than ever. OnePiece Labs is thrilled to collaborate with Camp Network on launching an incubator focused on Consumer across SocialFi and GambleFi. We are eager to see what we can achieve together!

This collaboration between OnePiece Labs and Camp Network will focus on enhancing user engagement and identity verification within decentralized applications (dApps). By integrating Camp's innovative identity solutions, OnePiece Labs will be better positioned to support its portfolio companies, driving the development of more immersive and user-centric dApps.
