<a href="https://carv.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CARV</a>, 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.&nbsp;
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.&nbsp;
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.”
