<a href="https://carv.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">CARV</a>, the largest modular identity and data layer for gaming and AI, today announces the launch of its native utility token, $CARV. Built on Base and available now on 8 centralized exchanges including Bybit, Kucoin, and Bitget, the token marks a significant milestone in CARV’s mission to revolutionize data ownership.
As the governance and participation cornerstone of CARV’s ecosystem—spanning <a href="http://protocol.carv.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">CARV Protocol</a>, <a href="https://play.carv.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">CARV Play</a>, and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/consensys-hashkey-50m-accelerator-launches-carv" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">CARV Labs</a>—$CARV empowers holders to actively shape the protocol’s future, share in its success, and truly own, control, and monetize their data.&nbsp;
Holders can not only engage in decision-making and propose new features but also acquire CARV nodes with 40M tokens allocated to further decentralize the network and generate new revenue streams. Furthermore, CARV also provides a <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/663deb6bd871513dafa0addb/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">buyback program</a> for the node holders to foster true decentralization. On the strength of CARV’s proven revenue model and high-yield staking opportunities, $CARV presents a compelling case for traders.
<blockquote>
 “Our TGE is a pivotal moment for CARV as we continue to empower gamers and AI developers to truly control their data,” said Victor Yu, COO of CARV. “With the $CARV token, we are taking another step towards building a fair and transparent data-driven ecosystem.”
</blockquote>
The token’s utility extends to millions of gamers through <a href="https://medium.com/@Carv/infinite-play-your-game-your-vote-your-rewards-0350c97ca103" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Infinite Play</a>, CARV’s play-to-earn economy, which now incorporates $CARV after three successful experimental seasons and demonstrated high APR staking. Additionally, as CARV advances in AI, web2 companies will use $CARV to access valuable, user-controlled data, creating further demand.
<blockquote>
 “This is just the beginning—our roadmap includes upcoming airdrops, growing gaming partnerships, and innovative experiences driven by community governance. Of course, none of this is possible without our community, and this is reflected in our tokenomics,” Yu said.
</blockquote>
$CARV will launch with a total supply of 1 billion fully released over four years. Half of the total supply is reserved for the community, including 10% allocated across three seasons of airdrops. The token allocation is as follows (with full details about token utilities available <a href="https://docs.carv.io/carv-token/utility" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>):
<ul>
 <li>Nodes and Community (50.00%)</li>
 <li>Founding Team and Advisors (~19.46%)</li>
 <li>Early Investors (~9.25%)</li>
 <li>Ecosystem and Treasury (9.00%)</li>
 <li>Private Fundraising (8.30%)</li>
 <li>Liquidity (4.00%)</li>
</ul>
For users to have their say, CARV also introduces veCARV on Arbitrum, a locked “voting escrowed” version of $CARV that enhances voting power, encouraging long-term staking and community-driven development.
$CARV is available today on the following 8 exchanges: Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, HTX, Gate, BingX, HashKey Global, and MEXC. More exchanges are to come.
This is proving a pivotal year for the project. In addition to securing <a href="https://venturebeat.com/games/carv-raises-10m-to-build-out-modular-data-layer-for-gaming-and-ai/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$10M in Series A funding</a>, propelling protocol decentralization with a <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/press-release/2024/07/01/carv-launches-alphanet-35m-node-sale-propels-decentralization-milestone/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$35M verifier node sale</a>, and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/consensys-hashkey-50m-accelerator-launches-carv" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">launching a $50M accelerator</a>, CARV has demonstrated remarkable revenue generation, a rarity in the web3 space.
