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 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.
CARV is building the largest modular Identity and Data Layer (IDL) for gaming, AI, and beyond, integrating over 900 games and AI companies, representing more than 30% of all Web3 games, and serving 9.5M+ registered players with 1.3M+ daily active users and 2.8M unique on-chain CARV ID holders. Ranking among the top three globally with 2.1M+ average daily unique active wallets across 40+ chains, CARV has raised $50M in total funding from top-tier investors like Tribe Capital, Temasek Vertex (NASDAQ:VRTX), HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, and ConsenSys, along with major gaming studios and ecosystems such as MARBLEX (Netmarble) and the Sandbox. The team comprises industry veterans from Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), Binance, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA), all dedicated to revolutionizing data usage in gaming, AI, and beyond.
