Santa Clara, USA, July 1st, 2024 – Chainwire
CARV, the leading platform for gaming and AI data, is introducing a new initiative to expand its network and reward node operators with airdrops and voting rights. The company has launched its Alphanet, which is powered by 38,000 verifier nodes worth $35 million, distributed among its community. This milestone brings CARV one step closer to achieving its goal of true decentralization and creating a future where users have ownership and control over their data.
The nodes play a crucial role in empowering the CARV community by allowing users to own, control, and monetize their data, while also providing enterprises with high-quality information to drive innovation. With the launch of Alphanet, node operators can test the network and contribute to preventing system manipulation and enhancing overall security through two-stage smart contract verification.
As reported by CoinDesk, CARV is transforming into a truly decentralized and scalable protocol layer by giving its rapidly growing community the power to validate and secure data flows. This opens up possibilities for seamless integration of high-quality games, gamers, and applications that seek a secure and decentralized data environment.
Starting June 28, users can download and operate the Node Operation software. Beginning July 1, node owners can run nodes on Alphanet and potentially earn test rewards. Their contribution to data validation on Alphanet will be correlated to rewards on mainnet launches. The protocol has set aside 25% of the total token supply for verifier rewards, aligning the long-term success of the protocol with the vested interests of the community.
The launch of Alphanet builds on CARV’s recent partnerships, including a collaboration with double jump.tokyo Inc., a pioneering Japanese Web3 gaming company and the primary developers behind Oasys, the leading layer-1 blockchain designed for gamers. Through this partnership, double jump.tokyo and Oasys will run CARV nodes and receive staked token rewards for participating in CARV’s governance. CARV is also working with other prominent gaming companies such as Animoca Brands, Neowiz’ IntellaX, Google Cloud, and Netmarble’s MARBLEX, solidifying its position as the top gaming and AI data layer and driving industry-wide innovation.
