CARV announces sale of decentralized nodes to revolutionize data ownership in gaming and artificial intelligence

(PRESS RELEASE – Santa Clara, California, April 30, 2024)

CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and artificial intelligence, today announces the highly anticipated sale of its debut node. This is another important milestone toward CARV's mission to maximize data innovation while ensuring that people can share in the value created on a user-owned Internet.

Starting May 13, users around the world can become part of CARV's decentralized data network, contributing to the redistribution of value and earning rewards by running lightweight verifier nodes.

The what and why of nodes

Imagine a future where your data is truly yours: a future where users have the power to own, control and monetize all personal data generated. Thanks to CARV's innovative data and value sharing platform, this vision is becoming a reality. With its modular data layer, CARV is revolutionizing the way personal data is used and shared in gaming, artificial intelligence, and many other sectors, paving the way for a user-owned Internet where people can legitimately benefit from the value your data creates.

More than 2.5 million users have already joined this data revolution, making CARV one of the largest ecosystems with unique active wallets (UAW) of more than 650,000 on multiple blockchain networks, including zkSync, Linea, opBNB, Ronin and more than 40 other chains.

As the CARV ecosystem continues to expand, running verifier nodes is crucial to maintaining integrity and security in your decentralized data processing environment. Verifier nodes validate the certifications produced by Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) nodes, ensuring that data processing is executed securely and as intended. A majority of honest verifiers exceeding 50% is crucial to accurately verify and record certification results on the blockchain, thereby maintaining the reliability of the protocol while preserving privacy.

The benefits of running nodes with CARV

CARV's first node sale makes this possible by offering a limited supply of 100,000 verifier nodes through a multi-tiered pricing system starting at under $500. In exchange, node operators will earn a significant portion of the network's native $CARV tokens. 25% of the total supply is earmarked for distribution to verifiers, which will be released over time.

According to the launch model, which foresees a 25% reduction every six months, approximately 50% of the tokens are expected to be launched in the first year alone. With over 700 games and ai companies integrated, rewards also come from ecosystem partners. Verifier nodes are designed to be easy to run, as lightweight as getting them up and running with just a few steps. There is also a one-click solution to delegate to nodes as service providers.

This bold step towards decentralization allows users to become active participants in the new data economy that respects user autonomy and privacy.

“We have reached a tipping point where users are rightfully demanding ownership and compensation for their data,” said Victor Yu, co-founder of CARV. “Our node sale is a big step toward realizing that vision by enabling everyone to become active stakeholders in a truly decentralized data ecosystem.”

The sale of the CARV node will be carried out in phases:

• Institutional/Organizational Sales: May 3, 2024, 12 pm UTC (e.g. via launchpads, syndicate DAOs, nft communities, and more)
• Whitelist Node Sale Launched: May 13, 2024, at 12 pm UTC (available for 48 hours)
