CARV Unveils Its Node Sale, Revolutionizing Data Ownership in Gaming and AI

CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, is elated to announce its debut node sale, a step closer to revolutionizing the data economy with decentralized nodes.

CARV has planned three main events: the whitelist node sale and the institution/organization sale set for May 13, 2024, at 12pm UTC, and the public node sale set for May 15th, 2024, at 12pm UTC.

The debut will allow users worldwide to join CARV’s decentralized data network. Through its modular data layer, CARV is changing how personal data is used and shared across various channels to allow data owners to get value for their created data. The node sale paves the way for a decentralized internet where user data is protected and profitable.

The Node sale offers a limited supply of 100,000 verifier nodes. These nodes are being offered through a multi-tier pricing system that starts at a sub of $500, with the highest tier being slightly above $10,500. Notably, CARV will reward node operators using a significant portion of its native token $CARV tokens. 25% of the total supply will be distributed to verifiers over a period of time. 

Nodes form the backbone of decentralized networks, working to offer a robust solution against any form of control that might manipulate the network. The CARV verifier nodes are lightweight nodes managed by the community. CARV’s verifier nodes validate attestations produced by Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) nodes. This ensures data processing is executed securely and as intended. Reportedly, the verifier nodes are simple to run, allowing verifiers to easily get it up and running with just a few steps.

While commenting on the debut, Victor Yu, CARV Co-Founder, said:

“We’ve reached an inflection point where users rightfully demand ownership and compensation for their data. Our node sale is a big step towards realizing that vision by allowing everyone to become active stakeholders in a truly decentralized data ecosystem.”

CARV’s nodes stand out because the veteran team behind the project consists of persons from Tencent Games, Garena, Electronic Arts, Coinbase, BNB Chain, OKX, TikTok Ads, LINO, McKinsey, d.Line Contentos and more. CARV has also integrated over 750 games and AI companies into its ecosystem, including Ntemarble’s MARBLEX, Off the Grind, BinaryX, Pixels, Axie Infinity, Shrapnel, and more.  CARV also offers a large community with an average of 500k daily unique active wallets (UAW) and 2.5 million registered users. Recently, CARV received $20 million in funding from tier 1 VCs and gaming backers.
