Architecture & Stack

Technical Architecture

🏗️ System Overview

Zync implements the IP Ownership Markets vision through a sophisticated architecture built on Camp Network's blockchain infrastructure. By leveraging Camp's specialized Origin Protocol (their IP tokenization framework) and Proof of Provenance consensus mechanism, Zync creates a bridge between traditional content creation and Web3 capital markets.

Layered Architecture:

Layer 1: Camp Network Blockchain

  • Purpose-built Layer-1 for IP registration and AI-ready data

  • Proof of Provenance consensus for cryptographic ownership verification

  • Global state management for all IP transactions

Layer 2: Origin Protocol (IP Infrastructure)

  • Comprehensive IP tokenization and management framework

  • Global IP registry with tamper-proof provenance tracking

  • Automated revenue distribution via graph-based relationships

  • AI-ready rights-cleared data pools

Layer 3: Zync Application Platform

  • Video-focused user interface and experience

  • ERC20 tokenization for fractional video ownership

  • AMM integration for immediate token liquidity

  • Creator dashboard and analytics

This layered architecture enables creators to leverage enterprise-grade IP infrastructure while accessing capital markets through tokenization, democratizing previously exclusive PE-style revenue sharing deals.

📋 IP Ownership Markets Architecture

🏗️ Core Architecture Components

1. Origin Protocol Layer (Camp Network)

Zync operates as an application layer built on top of Camp Network's Origin Protocol. All IP registration and management flows through Origin's infrastructure:

Origin IP Registry (Camp Network Core)

  • Purpose: Global IP registration and provenance tracking

  • Functions:

    • IP asset registration with tamper-proof records

    • ERC721 NFT minting for each registered IP

    • Automated parent-child relationship tracking

    • Revenue distribution graph management

Origin SDK Integration

// Zync uses Origin SDK for all IP operations
import { OriginSDK } from '@campnetwork/origin';

const origin = new OriginSDK({
  network: 'camp-testnet',
  rpcUrl: 'https://rpc.basecamp.t.raas.gelato.cloud'
});

// IP registration happens through Origin
const ipAsset = await origin.registerIP({
  file: videoFile,
  metadata: { title, description },
  licenseTerms: { price, duration, royalty },
  usageRights: { aiTraining: true, derivativeWorks: true }
});

2. Zync Application Layer

Zync adds video-specific tokenization and monetization on top of Origin's IP infrastructure:

RoyaltyVault (Zync's Smart Contract)

  • Purpose: ERC20 tokenization for video IP assets registered in Origin

  • Token Economics:

    • 1 billion tokens minted per video

    • 70% allocated to creator

    • 30% reserved for public sale

  • Revenue Integration:

    • Receives revenue from Origin's licensing system

    • Distributes to token holders proportionally

    • Integrates with SummitX AMM for trading

2. Camp Network's Origin Protocol Integration

Important: Zync does not have its own factory contract or IP management system. Instead, Zync is built as an application layer on top of Camp Network's Origin Protocol, which handles all IP registration, licensing, and core infrastructure. Zync focuses on the video-specific user experience and tokenization.

IP Asset Management Framework

Zync is built on Camp Network's Origin Protocol - a comprehensive IP tokenization and management framework specifically designed for the AI-driven creator economy. Unlike traditional NFT platforms, Origin provides:

Core Origin Framework Features:

  • IP Registry: Global on-chain database of verifiable IP ownership with tamper-proof provenance

  • Graph Structure: Hierarchical parent-child relationships that track derivative works and ensure attribution

  • Revenue Distribution: Automated royalty splitting based on contribution graphs

  • AI-Ready Data: Rights-cleared content pools that enable fair AI training with creator compensation

  • Legal Framework: Smart contract-enforced licensing terms and usage rights

Origin SDK Integration

// IP Asset Creation via Origin SDK
const { mintAsset } = useMintIpAsset();

await mintAsset(
  file,              // Video file (MP4/WebM)
  metadata,          // Title, description, creator info
  licenseTerms,      // Pricing, duration, royalty terms
  progressCallback   // Upload progress tracking
);

// Results in:
// 1. ERC721 NFT minted on Camp Network
// 2. IP registered in Origin's global registry
// 3. Provenance chain established
// 4. Revenue distribution graph created
// 5. AI training rights defined

License Terms Structure

interface LicenseTerms {
  price: bigint;        // Access price in wei (WCAMP)
  duration: number;     // License duration in seconds
  royaltyBps: number;   // Creator royalty percentage (basis points)
  paymentToken: string; // WCAMP token contract address
  usageRights: {        // Origin Protocol extensions
    aiTraining: boolean;      // Allow AI model training
    derivativeWorks: boolean; // Enable remixing/clipping
    commercialUse: boolean;   // Commercial usage rights
  }
}

Proof of Provenance

Camp Network's Proof of Provenance consensus mechanism ensures every IP transaction is cryptographically linked to an immutable custody record:

// Example provenance chain
interface ProvenanceRecord {
  originalCreator: string;     // Initial IP owner
  creationTimestamp: number;   // When IP was first registered
  parentIP?: string;           // If derivative work, link to parent
  usageHistory: UsageEvent[];  // All licensing and usage events
  revenueDistribution: {       // Automatic revenue splits
    creator: number;           // Percentage to original creator
    parents: number;           // Percentage to parent IP holders
    platform: number;          // Platform fee
  }
}

3. SummitX AMM Integration

Automatic Liquidity Creation

When a video is registered, Zync automatically:

  1. Creates ERC20 Token: Via RoyaltyVault clone

  2. Initializes Pool: On SummitX with 1 CAMP

  3. Sets Initial Price: 0.0001 CAMP per video token

  4. Enables Trading: Immediate liquidity for investors
