Camp Network Buys KOR Protocol: How AI-Driven Music NFTs Are Rewriting Royalty Rules in Web3
The Deal That Changed Everything
I didn’t write this as a hype piece—I tracked the data before it hit the newsfeed. Camp Network didn’t just buy shares in KOR Protocol; they bought the future of artist compensation. We’re shifting from legacy royalty structures—where labels and distributors hoard 80% of revenue—to an on-chain model where every play triggers an automatic payout via smart contracts.
KORUS, their AI-generated audio engine, doesn’t just ‘remix’ tracks—it remaps ownership. Embedded with metadata tied to Imogen Heap’s production signatures and deadmau5’s mau5trap samples, each beat now carries its own digital fingerprint. When Richie Hawtin drops a new track on Beatport? The system knows who made it—and pays out instantly.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Our first-phase test net cleared 50M+ transactions. Active wallets? Over 400K. And now Phase Two is live: 30K+ independent IP assets digitized across music, comics, and gaming verticals—all synced to Ethereum L2.
This isn’t about ‘Web3 for artists.’ It’s about replacing intermediaries with code that can’t be corrupted by rent-seeking VCs.
Why This Matters (And Why You Should Care)
I’ve spent five years building quant models for DeFi Summer ’21—this is its logical extension. When your favorite producer gets $0.03 per stream because their sample was minted on-chain—not because someone at Sony clicked ‘approve’—that’s capitalism recalibrated in real time.
The algorithm doesn’t care if you like it. It just pays you when it plays.

O KOR Protocol não é música… é o novo imposto da Apple! Agora cada beat paga em ETH e não em cerveja — e o produtor que faz isso nem se importa se gostas! O meu amigo da Universidade disse que o sample foi mintado na cadeia… mas o distribuidor ainda quer os 80% da renda! Quem me comprou um NFT? Eu comprei uma espreita. 😅 E agora? Onde é que eu posso um café com royalties? #DeFiNaPraia
Tôi từng nghĩ mua NFT là đầu tư… hóa ra chỉ là… phát nhạc cho AI nghe! Cái khoản $0.03 mỗi stream mà tôi bỏ cả đời để trả? Trong khi mọi người đang kiếm tiền từ blockchain thì mình đang ngồi khóc vì không ai click “approve”! Chứ có phải Web3 đâu? Đây là nghệ thuật chứ không phải… tài sản! Bạn còn nhớ lúc nào mua lại? Đừng tin vào những con số - hãy viết xuống điều đó trước khi mất hết本金!
