New Initiative to Scale Network and Reward Node Operators with
Airdrops and Voting Rights
CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and
AI, today announces the launch of its Alphanet, run by the 38,000
verifier nodes distributed to its community worth $35M. This marks
a significant step towards CARV’s goal of true
decentralization and user-owned data future.
Nodes empower the CARV community as stakeholders, enabling users
to own, control, and monetize their data while enterprises can
innovate based on high-quality information. With the launch of
Alphanet, node operators can test run the network, playing a
crucial role in preventing system manipulation and enhancing
overall security through two-staged smart contract verification.
As reported by CoinDesk, by
putting the keys to validating and securing data flows into the
hands of its rapidly growing community, CARV is evolving into a
truly decentralize, scalable protocol layer, where the seamless
onboarding of high-quality games, gamers, and applications seeking
a secure, decentralized data environment is possible.
From June 28, users can already download and operate Node Operation
software. Starting July 1, node owners can start running nodes on
Alphanet and potentially earn test rewards. Contribution to data
validation on the Alphanet is correlated to rewards on mainnet
launches. 25% of the total token supply is reserved for verifier
rewards. This economic incentive closely aligns the protocol’s
long-term success with the community’s vested interests.
“From our successful node distribution to today’s
alphanet launch, we are rapidly progressing towards a more
decentralized and scalable network,” said CARV Co-Founder Victor
Yu. “Our community's overwhelming participation represents a
powerful mandate: people are ready for an open data frontier that
generates value for users rather than corporations extracting it.
With this significant milestone achieved, we can accelerate
building the world’s most vibrant data ecosystem.”
The Alphanet launch further builds on CARV’s momentum from
forging high-profile partnerships. Most recently, CARV announced
its partnership with double jump.tokyo Inc., the
trailblazing Japanese Web3 gaming company and primary developers
behind Oasys, the leading layer-1 blockchain
purpose-built for gamers. Through this partnership, double
jump.tokyo and Oasys will run CARV nodes, generating staked token
rewards for voting in CARV’s governance. Likewise, by working
alongside other Web2 and Web3 gaming heavyweights like Animoca Brands,
Neowiz’ IntellaX,
Google Cloud, and
Netmarble's MARBLEX,
CARV is solidifying its position as the preeminent gaming and AI
data layer, ready to catalyze industry-wide innovation.
