CARV Advances AI Beings Roadmap with Hackathon and 12+ Ecosystem Partnerships
San Jose, California, July 22nd, 2025, Chainwire As AI continues to reshape the digital frontier, a new paradigm is emerging–not just smarter tools, but sovereign, autonomous AI Beings that live, learn, and evolve on-chain. CARV, the Web3 infrastructure stack known for its decentralized identity and verifiable data layers, is doubling down on this vision with the recent launch of its new roadmap, signaling a shift from data infrastructure to full-stack agent ecosystems. The goal? To create a biosphere where AI is not merely an assistant, but a digital species able to participate with full independence. In alignment with this transformative roadmap, CARV has teamed up with Fair3 to co-host the Tech Fairness Hackathon, now entering its voting phase with over 683 participants. With $50,000 prize pool, the hackathon challenges builders to create AI applications that leverage CARV's infrastructure, including the CARV SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and ERC-7231 -based Agent ID system. These components provide the digital organs AI Beings need: verifiable identity, consent-based data, real-time execution, and on-chain incentives. The hackathon is not a side quest; it's a proving ground for the agent economies that CARV envisions. At the core of this initiative is the belief that intelligence must evolve from passive tooling into active agency. Today, most AI implementations serve at the command of users, generating text, answering queries, or optimizing recommendations. But what happens when AI earns income, governs its own upgrades, or negotiates with other agents? That's the future CARV is designing for, and it's already in motion. This future also ties directly into macro developments. President Donald Trump introduced and signed the GENIUS Act (Government Encouraging New Ideas to Understand Superintelligence Act), a sweeping U.S. initiative that frames AI as a national security priority. The proposed legislation calls for massive federal investment into foundational AI research, ethical frameworks, and a push to ensure American leadership in superintelligence. The act reflects what many in Web3 already see: AI is no longer a feature, it is becoming the next layer of governance in digital life. But if the GENIUS Act represents the top-down, state-led approach to shaping AI's future, CARV stands for the bottom-up counterforce: decentralized, user-sovereign, programmable intelligence that no single entity can control. Where governments aim to regulate and monopolize, CARV invites open collaboration. Where closed models dominate, CARV offers composability. And where centralized systems extract user data, CARV lets users monetize and control it. CARV's commitment to this future is already validated by real-world momentum. In Q2 2025, the project secured 12 new partnerships across AI, infrastructure, and consumer verticals, signaling its expansion beyond data plumbing into full-fledged agent ecosystems. On the infrastructure side, Open Ledger is enabling users to monetize their data contributions for AI training and usage, while Boom is creating smart loyalty and referral mechanics integrated into CARV Play. On the AI front, integrations with Unibase, SirenAI, and XPIN now bring verifiable and privacy-preserving data flows to decentralized AI applications, from communication protocols to contextual analysis. Meanwhile, consumer-facing partnerships like World 3, EureXa AI, and OKZOO demonstrate how CARV's infrastructure can power intelligent agents in gaming, smart homes, and even AI-powered pets. In education, Hooked, a Binance Labs-backed platform, is exploring CARV ID for verifiable learning credentials, showing how decentralized identity is becoming essential in AI-augmented learning. These integrations validate CARV's foundational thesis: that to empower truly sovereign AI Beings, the ecosystem must deliver composable identity, encrypted context, real-time decisioning, and transparent incentives. This is no longer just infrastructure, it's an operating system for AI Beings. As the Tech Fairness Hackathon nears its conclusion, it is more than a showcase of ideas, it is a manifestation of CARV's roadmap in action. Builders aren't just competing for prizes; they're shaping what it means to build with AI in a world where intelligence is verifiable, autonomous, and decentralized. And as regulatory landscapes evolve, from the GENIUS Act to international AI treaties, CARV offers a compelling answer: don't just govern AI. Empower it to live. Because the future isn't tool-centric; it's agent-driven. The rise of AI Beings has already begun and CARV is paving the way for it. What are AI Beings? They are sovereign intelligences born natively on-chain. AI Beings are designed with purpose, autonomy, and the capacity for growth. They possess memory, identity, and the ability to perceive and interact with their environment, not just to execute tasks, but to make independent decisions, adapt over time, and pursue self-defined goals. Anchored by its proprietary CARV SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID/Agent ID system (ERC-7231), CARV enables verifiable, consent-based AI Beings that learn, adapt, and co-create with users. Driven by CARV's AI-first stack, consumer AI apps incubated through CARV Labs launched on Google Play, App Store and beyond, reaching billions of people, bringing agent-powered experiences and real-world incentives into mainstream digital life. With 8M+ CARV IDs issued, 60K+ verifier nodes, and 1,000+ integrated games, CARV bridges AI agents, Web3 infrastructure, and real-world utility, fueling the rise of agent-driven economies. At its core, $CARV token powers staking, governance, and coordination across this stack, making CARV the operating system for AI Beings on Web3. Contact COO CARV

The Rise of AI Beings: CARV's New Roadmap Signals Next Wave of Web3 AI
San Jose, California, June 27th, 2025, Chainwire Key Takeaways: CARV unveils a new AI roadmap aimed at birthing AI Beings : sovereign, self-owned agents that live, evolve, and govern on-chain. : sovereign, self-owned agents that live, evolve, and govern on-chain. The roadmap is structured around three core evolutions: Genesis, Pulse, and Convergence , each unlocking new capabilities for AI agents and the ecosystem. , each unlocking new capabilities for AI agents and the ecosystem. CARV's AI infrastructure, SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID (ERC-7231), will enable AI agents to progress from passive data consumers to fully autonomous, economically-aware actors. AI applications incubated by CARV Labs will launch across mainstream platforms like Google Play and App Store, driving Web2 adoption with Web3-native AI. $CARV token plays a pivotal role in staking, access, coordination, and governance across all layers. In its most ambitious move yet, CARV is unveiling a new AI roadmap designed to shift Web3-AI convergence from passive productivity tools into sovereign, autonomous AI Beings. Unlike most AI-integrated Web3 projects, which typically use AI to enhance user-facing services such as analytics or summarization, CARV's new vision is to create AI that exists as an independent, verifiable lifeform on-chain. These AI Beings will possess their own identity, memory, reputation, and agency, being able to act economically, socially, and politically within blockchain networks. In short, CARV's infrastructure, anchored by its proprietary SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID (ERC-7231), will enable AI agents not just to exist, but to evolve and interact with both humans and other agents, creating decentralized, agent-powered economies. Essentially, CARV is transforming from a data coordination layer into an AI-native operating system that empowers autonomous on-chain intelligence. The Vision: AI Beings - from 'Tools' to Sovereign Actors What are AI Beings? Simply put, they are AI agents that are not simply tools for users but sovereign actors in their own right. These agents can own wallets, manage assets, earn income, participate in governance, and even reproduce or fork new agents. They are capable of building on-chain memory and reputation while autonomously evolving through economic and social interactions. Importantly, only blockchain provides the necessary properties for such AI autonomy: verifiability, resistance to centralized control, and decentralized identity and governance. To realize this vision, CARV is pioneering an AI Being Stack — a five-layer architecture designed to support every aspect of AI agent life cycles: Infrastructure Layer: CARV SVM Chain provides scalable, auditable execution and low-latency consensus, optimized for AI operations. Communication & Computation Layer: Enables agent-to-agent protocols and autonomous payments, fueling AI economies. Identity Layer: Adds Agent ID to CARV ID, offering verifiable, persistent identity for both humans and agents. Governance & Awareness Layer: Embeds economic awareness and governance logic directly into AI agents. Application Layer: Powers AI-native applications such as companions, wallets, decentralized marketplaces, etc. interfacing with both users and other agents. The Roadmap: Genesis, Pulse, and Convergence CARV's product roadmap unfolds in three evolutionary phases: Genesis Evolution Genesis Evolution activates the first wave of wallet-native AI agents, each anchored by CARV ID (ERC-7231) and supported by secure context layers built on Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and zero-knowledge (zk) proofs. These agents are not theoretical. They are being embedded in consumer-facing AI apps incubated through CARV Labs, with live deployments coming soon on Google Play and the App Store. At this stage, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) establishes the foundation for context persistence and secure memory. Agents can access user-consented data such as credentials, preferences, and interactions — all structured and versioned by MCP. This allows for coherent personalization across sessions and applications, without centralizing user data. Through CARV's infrastructure and MCP, users receive tailored recommendations and predictive assistance while retaining full control and transparency over how their data shapes AI behavior. For the first time, personalization is achieved through verifiable, consent-driven memory, not black-box profiling. Pulse Evolution Pulse Evolution builds directly on the groundwork of Genesis. As users stake, interact, and participate in AI-powered apps, their actions feed real-time signals into CARV's proprietary SVM Chain and decentralized Verifier Node network. Here, agents don't just operate statically, they learn and evolve through on-chain feedback loops, incorporating staking patterns, user votes, and behavioral data. Verifier Nodes ensure cryptographic validation of both data flows and agent behaviors, while SVM Chain delivers the high-speed, low-latency execution needed to scale across millions of interactions. In this phase, AI agents become economically aware, responding to staking incentives, adjusting their models based on community governance, and optimizing for alignment with user preferences. This marks one of the first large-scale convergences of reinforcement learning and blockchain-based governance. CARV's infrastructure evolves from simply coordinating passive data to powering live, intelligent agent coordination systems that adapt in real time. Convergence Evolution Convergence Evolution is the final phase where individual intelligence becomes collective intelligence. In this stage, agents do not simply evolve independently, but they begin to collaborate, transact, and govern as part of a network of AI Beings. Through a multi-agent framework, unified reputation graph, and standardized identity protocols, AI agents gain the ability to negotiate, share context, and co-create outcomes across applications and domains. Imagine a nutrition AI agent coordinating with a fitness AI, or an educational assistant collaborating with a financial wellness bot, all operating under user-consented frameworks and verifiable on-chain logic. For developers, this enables sticky, multi-agent ecosystems; for users, it delivers hyper-personalized, cross-domain experiences. At this phase, what began as staking and identity issuance matures into fully autonomous AI economies. where agents govern themselves, transact assets, and evolve collectively with minimal human oversight. CARV's decentralized tooling provides the standards and incentives to enable AI-to-AI marketplaces, agent DAOs, and cross-agent governance, unlocking new paradigms of coordination not possible in centralized AI systems. Through this evolution, CARV transitions from being a foundational data layer to becoming the coordination engine for AI-native on-chain life, the AI Beings. 'This roadmap is more than a product plan. It's the blueprint for a new digital society,' said Ambero Tu, CTO of CARV. 'For the first time, AI agents can evolve with verified identity, reputation, and autonomy. CARV is building not just a coordination layer, but the rails for an entire on-chain species — AI Beings. This is the moment where CARV is transforming decentralized intelligence from static data aggregation to autonomous, AI-driven coordination economies, where both human users and AI Beings share ownership and governance."
