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 sallet
  • Sufficient funds or credits for your Node subscription
  • CARV Node NFT.

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

Run your CARV verifier Nodes with NodeOps Console​

Choose between two subscription models​

  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.
