CARV Launches Decentralized Node Sale to Transform Data Ownership Across Gaming and AI Landscapes

Santa Clara, California, April 27th, 2024, Chainwire

CARV , the leading modular data layer specializing in gaming and AI is initiating its much-anticipated node sale. This marks another significant achievement in CARV’s quest to drive data innovation while empowering individuals to benefit from a user-centric internet.

Commencing May 13, users from around the world will have the opportunity to join CARV’s decentralized data network, helping redistribute value and earn rewards by operating lightweight verifier nodes.

The What And Why Of Nodes

Envision a world where your data truly belongs to you—where individuals can claim ownership, exercise control, and generate revenue from every piece of personal data they produce. Thanks to CARV’s innovative data-value exchange platform, this dream is on the verge of realization. With its modular data infrastructure, CARV is transforming the landscape of how personal data is utilized and shares across sectors like gaming, AI, and beyond, paving a path toward an internet where users can justly reap the benefits of their data contributions.

To date, over 2.5 million users have taken part in this data revolution, propelling CARV to the forefront as one of the largest ecosystems with more than 650,000 unique active wallets spread across various blockchain networks such as zkSync, Linea, opBNB, Ronin, and more than 40 others.

As CARV's ecosystem grows, the operation of verifier nodes becomes vital for upholding the integrity and security of its decentralized data processing environment. These nodes are responsible for validating the attestations generated by Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) nodes, which guarantees that data processing is conducted in a secure manner and according to established protocols. It’s essential to have a majority of honest verifiers exceeding 50% to faithfully confirm and document attestation outcomes on the blockchain, thereby ensuring protocol reliability while retaining user privacy.

The Advantages of Operating Nodes Within CARV

The launch of CARV’s inaugural node sale opens up the opportunity to acquire a limited number of 100,000 verifier nodes via a multi-tiered pricing strategy, starting at just under $500. In exchange for their efforts, node operators will receive a substantial share of the network’s native currency, $CARV tokens. Moreover, 25% of the overall supply is earmarked for verifiers, gradually released over time.

In line with the release schedule, which introduces a 25% decrease every six months, it’s anticipated that around 50% of these tokens will be distributed within the first year alone. With over 700 gaming and AI partners in the ecosystem, rewards will also stem from collaborations with these entities. Verifier nodes have been designed for effortless operation, allowing users to get started with just a few simple steps. Additionally, there’s an easy one-click solution for delegating to node-as-a-service providers as well.

This significant move toward decentralization empowers users to actively engage in a new data economy that values user autonomy and privacy.

"We’ve reached a pivotal moment where users justly expect ownership and compensation for their personal data,\" remarked Victor Yu, CARV’s Co-Founder. \"Our node sale is a crucial stride toward fulfilling this vision by enabling everyone to become active participants in a genuinely decentralized data ecosystem.\"

• Institutional / Organizational Sales: May 3, 2024, at 12 PM UTC (such as through launchpads, syndicate DAOs, NFT communities, etc.)
