<a href="https://carv.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CARV</a>, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, announced today a strategic investment from <a href="https://www.animocabrands.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Animoca Brands</a>, the company advancing digital property rights for gaming and the open metaverse. In addition, Animoca Brands will become an operator of CARV’s Tier 6 verifier nodes in support of CARV's decentralization of its data layer. The partnership will facilitate deeper integration and long-term synergies as they expand their respective gaming and open metaverse ecosystems.
Founded as a gaming credential platform, CARV has evolved into a modular data layer protocol with strong traction from over 2.7 million users, 790 integrated games, and partnerships across major chains like Linea, BNB Chain, zkSync, and Ronin. The company has come good on its gaming credential roots by initiating <a href="https://thedefiant.io/news/press-releases/erc-7231-ethereum-community-backs-carvs-nft-standard-for-value-redistribution-to-users-in-the-ai-revolution" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ERC-7231, the standard approved by the Ethereum Community</a> that binds multiple Web2 and Web3 identities to a single NFT, and partnering with the likes of <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/press-release/2024/05/13/carv-and-google-cloud-share-insights-on-advancing-data-democracy-in-gaming-and-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Google Cloud</a> and <a href="https://decrypt.co/222756/carv-and-marblex-partner-to-deliver-data-driven-web3-gaming-experiences" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Netmarble’s web3 arm, MARBLEX</a>.
To support rapid scaling and growth, CARV is introducing community-operated verifier nodes that scrutinize outcomes at each protocol layer. These nodes are crucial for maintaining decentralization, security, and equitable value redistribution as the network expands. CARV aims to accelerate user onboarding and adoption to grow the pie for all stakeholders in its user-owned data ecosystem through partnering with Animoca Brands as a strategic node operator, relying on their experience and expertise in operating various blockchain infrastructures. Node holders will have the option for one-click delegating to Animoca Brands for node operations, ensuring network uptime and robustness.
The rewards from node operations will initially be in the form of $veCARV, the staked version of CARV tokens. This also allows Animoca Brands and its portfolio of more than 400 gaming and metaverse companies to participate in CARV’s <a href="https://protocol.carv.io/airdrop" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Infinite Play</a>, a <a href="https://medium.com/@Carv/infinite-play-your-game-your-vote-your-rewards-0350c97ca103" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">token-lock voting bribery system</a> (CURVE &amp; CONVEX model for gaming) for governance <a href="https://docs.carv.io/carv-token/utility" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">voting</a>.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “CARV’s mission to advance data self-sovereignty and the interoperability of personal assets in both Web2 and Web3 fits perfectly with the work we do at Animoca Brands. This strategic partnership with CARV will amplify our efforts to pioneer a more equitable framework via new asset classes, economies, and digital property rights.”
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
 “This is a multi-faceted alliance between two leaders in their respective domains,” said Victor Yu, co-founder of CARV. “Through Animoca Brands’ strategic investment, its support as a node operator, and collaboration across our gaming ecosystems, we are taking a comprehensive approach over many years to come.
