Santa

CARV,
the
largest
modular
data
layer
for
gaming
and
AI,
today
announces
its
highly
anticipated
debut
node
sale.
This
is
another
major
milestone
towards
CARV’s
mission
to
maximize
data
innovation
while
ensuring
individuals
can
share
the
value
created
in
a
user-owned
internet.

Starting
May
13,
users
worldwide
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
groundbreaking
data-value
exchange
platform,
this
vision
is
becoming
a
reality.
With
its
modular
data
layer,
CARV
is
revolutionizing
how
personal
data
is
used
and
shared
across
gaming,
AI,
and
countless
other
sectors,
paving
the
way
for
a
user-owned
internet
where
individuals
can
rightfully
profit
from
the
value
their
data
creates.

Over
2.5M
users
have
already
joined
this
data
revolution,
making
CARV
one
of
the
largest
ecosystems
by
unique
active
wallets
(UAW)
of
650K+
across
multiple
blockchain
networks,
including
zkSync,
Linea,
opBNB,
Ronin,
and
40+
more
chains.

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

The
Benefits
Of
Running
Nodes
With
CARV

CARV’s
debut
node
sale
makes
this
possible
by
offering
a
limited
supply
of
100,000
verifier
nodes
through
a
multi-tier
pricing
system
starting
at
sub
$500.
In
return,
node
operators
will
earn
a
significant
portion
of
the
network’s
native
$CARV
tokens.
25%
of
the
total
supply
is
allocated
for
distribution
to
verifiers,
to
be
released
over
time.

According
to
the
release
model,
which
sees
a
reduction
of
25%
every
six
months,
approximately
50%
of
the
tokens
are
expected
to
be
released
in
the
first
year
alone.
With
700+
games
and
AI
companies
integrated,
rewards
also
come
from
ecosystem
partners.
Verifier
nodes
are
designed
to
be
simple
to
run,
as
light
as
getting
it
up
and
running
with
just
a
few
steps.
There
is
also
a
one-click
solution
to
delegate
to
node
as
a
service
providers
as
well.

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

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