In this episode of the Building Web3 podcast, host Jax Dwyer sits down with Nirav Murthy, cofounder of Camp Network, to unpack how Camp is pioneering the user-owned data economy. As AI moves from general-purpose to user-specific agents, Camp is building a vertically integrated blockchain — purpose-built for decentralized applications, agent deployment, and IP monetization.

From user-owned data and real-time royalty flows to chain-level UX optimization and the future of AI agents, Nirav breaks down how Camp Network blends crypto infrastructure with practical Web3 adoption. You'll learn why Camp needs a dedicated L1, how it prioritizes IP and AI transactions over MEV, and why horizontal integration can’t deliver the same developer experience. If you're building decentralized applications, optimizing onchain UX, or rethinking the future of human work in an AI-native world — this episode is for you.

We also dive into:

Why vertical integration matters in Web3
How to tokenize and license your own data
AI agents, chain abstraction, and real-world adoption
What DePIN, stablecoins, and royalties have in common
Whether every app really needs a token
