CARV, the largest modular identity and data layer for
gaming and AI, today marks its most prolific quarter to date with
over 10 strategic partnerships inked in Q3 2024. These
collaborations across three pillars – CARV Protocol, CARV Play, and CARV Labs – cement the
company’s position as a key web3 gaming and AI architect.
“With partnership announcements rolling out on a nearly weekly
basis, we've made significant strides this quarter across our core
business and won't be taking our foot off the gas,” said CARV
Co-Founder Victor Yu.
The collaborations, aiming to enhance CARV's data solutions,
expand its infrastructure, and drive ecosystem growth, include:
CARV Protocol facilitates data exchange and value distribution
across gaming and AI. This quarter saw expansions with Base and
EigenLayer to improve security and cost-effectiveness, while
integrations with Monad and Nuffle enhance scalability and data
management. Additionally, collaborations with XAI provide
decentralized governance models, while Avail’s data availability
solutions further strengthen CARV’s infrastructure.
CARV Play, the AI-powered superapp, offers comprehensive gamer
profiling, rich social interactions, and intelligent game
discovery. With 9.5M registered users and 1.3M daily active users,
CARV Play is quickly becoming the go-to platform for gamers
worldwide. Recent collaborations with Gitcoin Passport and
LayerZero bolster security and cross-chain capabilities, pushing
the boundaries of data utilization in AI applications. Likewise, by
leveraging Inferium AI’s intelligent inference platform, CARV
enhances its data-driven offerings and ensures users receive the
best solutions for their needs in real time.
Rounding out the ecosystem is CARV Labs, the $50M accelerator
launched in September
to incubate projects driving mass adoption of the data protocol. In
addition to backing by HashKey Capital and Consensys, incubated
projects will receive initial support from Intella X, the web3
gaming platform from Korean gaming giant NEOWIZ. This strategic
partnership, which builds on Intella X's investment in CARV's verifier node sale
last quarter, will onboard incubated projects into its web3
crowdfunding platform, Alphastarter, providing
crucial initial funding and support.
The accelerator's impact is already evident with BANANA, the
idle game built on TON, attracting over 12M users
in about a month. This rapid growth underscores CARV's
commitment to supporting the TON ecosystem and Telegram's thriving
crypto community. Further cementing this direction, CARV's
partnership with Telgather's innovative minigame platform aims to
strengthen play-to-earn and social-to-earn environments on the chat
platform.
“The momentum of Q3 is a sign of things to come for Q4.
Expect more big announcements, partnerships, and rewards before the
end of the year," Yu added. “Looking ahead, along with our
community, we're bridging infrastructure, application development,
and ecosystem growth for the next generation of decentralized
experiences.”
