The modular L2 network Camp Network has announced the launch of the Builder Grant program, aimed at supporting visionary builders focused on bringing the next generation of users into blockchain. The grant program is now open for applications.
Camp Network leverages off-chain data from Web2 social and streaming platforms to create on-chain value. Any team building on Camp L2 can access user data, with the goal of creating a sustainable, application-friendly ecosystem. The ecosystem includes blue-chip teams (LayerZero, Privy, Rarible) as well as over 10 native/exclusive teams covering entertainment, media, and game finance.
The grant program aims to expand this ecosystem by helping emerging teams find excellent product-market fit on the Camp chain. If you are committed to building in the blockchain space, this program is tailored for you.
Inspiration for the Program
The inspiration for the Builder Grant program mainly comes from the following aspects:
1. Music or SocialFi
- A platform that allows artists and fans to interact directly, facilitating everything from content distribution to fan engagement.
- Enables artists to issue tokens for exclusive content or early access to ticket sales while leveraging Web2 fan data.
- Fans can earn rewards by promoting their favorite artists, enhancing community engagement and curating the most followed playlists.
2. "InfluencerFi"
- A platform that utilizes Web2 social data to better incentivize user engagement and purchasing behavior (covering fashion, food, music, etc.).
- Token-gated communities that reward interactions with UGC on Web2 social platforms and reward interactions with products (i.e., fashion based on digital-physical/NFC chip).
3. Social Interaction Perps
- Exploring derivatives based on social media metrics, such as betting on engagement metrics from popular social platforms.
- Developing a market for predicting the virality of social media content supported by analytical tools.
- Speculating on artists' popularity trends based on real-time streaming data.
4. Prediction Markets
- Building a platform where users can bet on various real-world events, from political outcomes to entertainment content.
- Expanding to include diverse topics such as sports and scientific discoveries.
- Integrating collective intelligence features to improve prediction accuracy and using smart contracts for automated resolution.
Application Criteria
Camp Network is committed to supporting emerging teams in finding excellent product-market fit on the Camp chain. To be selected for the Builder Grant program, applicants can submit projects that are already live on another chain, just an idea, or currently in development.
Application Process
Camp will frequently review nominations. The team will have phone calls with selected founders (and their company's test projects). Given the potential size of the nomination queue, the team will not respond to every request and will only contact projects that pass the initial screening.
Winner Rewards
- Financial Support: Grants from Camp in the form of $CAMP token allocations (with opportunities for cash investments) and gas fee reimbursements.

The Web3 ecosystem includes leading infrastructure partners, node operators, native wallet solutions, cross-chain promoters, etc. The Web2 ecosystem includes brands, media agencies, music labels, management companies, and corporate groups. Recipients will also gain valuable opportunities to connect with Camp's investors, advisors, and founders.
