CARV

What is CARV Protocol?​

The CARV Protocol is a modular data layer that facilitates data exchange and value distribution across gaming, AI, and ∞. It encompasses end-to-end data flow processes, including data verification, identity authentication, storage, processing, model training, and value distribution. The CARV Protocol empowers users by granting them control over their own data, enabling them to share information securely and privately while participating in revenue generated from their data usage.

Understand CARV verifier Nodes​

Verifier Nodes are components of CARV's verification layer. Verifier Nodes are lightweight Nodes managed by the community. They play a crucial role in maintaining the Protocol's integrity, thereby enhancing its trustworthiness and security. Currently, these Nodes primarily check TEE attestations onchain, verifying that the results are reliable and that the process maintains the privacy of user data.

Prerequisites​

  • EVM-compatible wallet
  • Sufficient funds or credits for your Node subscription
  • CARV Node NFT
tip

Don't have a CARV NFT? Investigate whether they're still available to purchase.

Run your CARV verifier Nodes with NodeOps Console​

Step 1: Connect with the Console​

  1. From the Console, sign up or log in using the Log In button; bottom left of the Console.

Choose between two subscription models​

Use the tabs to follow the flow for the model you wish to use:

  1. CARV Premium: This subscription model requires you to pay for your Node operations, allowing you to retain your full rewards. Additionally, you can enable users to delegate to your Node, offering flexibility in setting the commission rate you wish to receive from license holders who delegate to you.
  2. Commision-based model: In this model, you do not need to pay for monthly subscriptions. Instead, the cost of your Node operations is covered by a 5% share of your rewards. This means you retain 95% of your reward tokens, while 5% is allocated to NodeOps.

Use the video or guide to understand how to set up your Nodes.

Step 2: Select your Protocol and Node​

  1. Navigate to Node Deployment on the left side menu and select “CARV Premium”.

  1. Select "Verifier Node" for the Node type. This option is selected by default.

  2. Connect your wallet to the account where you want your commission rewards to be deposited. Then enter the commission you want from users who delegate to your Node. The commission rate can be set between 0-100. 0 means you don't take any commission from delegators. 100 means you take all rewards.

  1. Select your subscription duration. The longer your subscription, the lower the monthly cost. After selecting your subscription, click Continue to pay.;

Step 3: Set up your Node subscription​

  1. Make the payment for the subscription using your preferred blockchain. Once the payment is complete, you will be redirected to the NodeFolio.
  1. After completing the payment, you will be redirected to Nodefolio. Select the Node you just set up, then click "Delegate" to initiate the delegation process.
  1. Connect to the wallet that contains your CARV Verifier Node license. Click on "Fetch NFT" to automatically detect the CARV NFTs in your wallet.
  1. Click "Click to Delegate" and sign the transaction. Ensure you have sufficient ETH to cover gas fees, as all operations on the Alphanet are conducted on Arbitrum One.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up your CARV Verifier Node and completed the delegation process. Optionally, you can verify the delegation on the CARV alphanet verifier page.
