CARV is a Web3 infrastructure platform designed to offer a modular identity and data layer (IDL), primarily targeting the gaming and AI sectors. Founded in late 2021, CARV is dedicated to reshaping the way users interact with and control their data in decentralized environments.

CARV integrates with over 900 Web3 games and platforms, representing a significant portion of the Web3 gaming ecosystem, and has over 9.5 million registered users with 1.3 million daily active players. It aims to provide a decentralized system where users can truly own, control, and monetize their gaming and activity data.

At the heart of the platform is $CARV, the platform’s native utility token. Launched in October 2024, $CARV facilitates governance, participation, and rewards within the CARV ecosystem. The token allows holders to influence protocol upgrades, propose new features, and earn rewards by contributing to the platform’s decentralized infrastructure. Through play-to-earn models and staking opportunities, users are incentivized to engage with the platform while maintaining data ownership and privacy.

CARV also places strong emphasis on data privacy, allowing users to choose how their data is shared or monetized, empowering individuals in a landscape dominated by centralized entities. The platform’s long-term vision includes expanding its utility across various sectors, from GameFi to SocialFi, and it has secured major investments to support this mission. In 2024, CARV secured $10 million in Series A funding and launched a $50 million accelerator program, fueling its rapid growth.
