CARV, a blockchain protocol focused on gaming and AI, is aiming to decentralize the data landscape by introducing verifier nodes. In the digital age, personal data is controlled by only a few companies who often generate significant revenue without sharing it with users. This centralization of data also hinders the development of AI models, which require high-quality data. CARV’s verifier nodes aim to give control back to users by allowing them to own, monetize, and share their data in a decentralized environment. These nodes oversee data processing and transactions, adding an extra layer of security and trust. The sale of verifier nodes will begin on June 3, and node operators will earn CARV’s native cryptocurrency for verifying data. In the future, the nodes may also verify other components of the CARV protocol. CARV has also introduced a Data-to-Earn campaign, allowing users to earn revenue by providing their personal data to brands. Additionally, CARV has developed an Ethereum-based token standard that links Web2 and Web3 identities. The project recently completed a Series A funding round, raising $10 million. By decentralizing data and involving the community in the validation process, CARV aims to create a more equitable and transparent data ecosystem.
