New Initiative to Scale Network and Reward Node Operators with Airdrops and Voting Rights

CARV, a prominent modular data layer for gaming and AI, has unveiled its Alphanet, operated by a network of 38,000 verifier nodes valued at $35 million. This launch signifies a significant stride towards achieving CARV's vision of genuine decentralization and a future where data is owned by users.

The nodes play a crucial role in empowering the CARV community by granting users ownership, control, and the ability to monetize their data. Enterprises, in turn, benefit from the opportunity to innovate based on reliable information. The introduction of Alphanet allows node operators to engage in testing the network, playing a pivotal part in preventing system manipulation and bolstering overall security through a two-staged smart contract verification process. Through community empowerment, CARV is transitioning into a highly decentralized and scalable protocol layer, facilitating seamless integration of top-quality games, gamers, and applications seeking a secure and decentralized data environment.

Starting from June 28, users have the option to download and operate Node Operation software. As of July 1, node owners are authorized to run nodes on Alphanet and potentially earn test rewards. Contributions to data validation on the Alphanet directly impact rewards upon mainnet launches, with 25% of the total token supply earmarked for verifier rewards. This economic incentive aligns the long-term success of the protocol with the community's vested interests.

The release of Alphanet further solidifies CARV's stance following strategic partnerships with industry leaders. Noteworthy collaborations include the partnership with double jump.tokyo Inc., a pioneering Japanese Web3 gaming company and the developers behind Oasys. This alliance will see double jump.tokyo and Oasys operating CARV nodes and earning staked token rewards for participating in CARV's governance. Similarly, collaborations with prominent gaming entities like Animoca Brands, Neowiz' IntellaX, Google Cloud, and Netmarble's MARBLEX are enhancing CARV's status as a key player in the gaming and AI data layer landscape, poised to drive industry-wide innovation.
