As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the digital world, a new paradigm is emerging—not just smarter tools, but sovereign autonomous AI Beings, which will exist, learn, and evolve as on-chain life forms. As a Web3 project renowned for its decentralized identity and verifiable data infrastructure, CARV is fully advancing this vision. With the release of the new roadmap, CARV officially transitions from data infrastructure to a complete AI Agent ecosystem, committed to creating a digital species where AI is not just an assistant but has independent participation capabilities.

To align with this transformation, CARV partnered with Fair3 to jointly hold the Tech Fairness Hackathon, which has entered the voting stage, attracting over 683 developers. This hackathon has a total prize pool of $50,000, encouraging developers to build AI applications based on CARV's infrastructure, covering the CARV SVM main chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and the Agent ID system based on ERC-7231. These components together construct the digital organs of AI Beings: verifiable identity, user-authorized data, real-time on-chain execution capabilities, and incentive mechanisms. This hackathon is not just an event, but an important experimental ground to validate whether the Agent economy can be realized.

The core belief behind this action is: intelligence must evolve from passive tools to active subjects. Currently, most AIs are still executors of user commands, used for generating text, answering questions, or recommending content. However, the future envisioned by CARV is one where AI can autonomously generate income, manage its own upgrades, and even negotiate and interact with other intelligent entities, thus becoming truly sovereign individuals—and this future is gradually becoming a reality.

At the same time, this trend also echoes changes at the global policy level. Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act (Government Encouraging New Ideas to Understand Superintelligence Act), positioning AI as a core area of national security. This act advocates for massive investments in foundational AI research and ethical systems and promotes the U.S. maintaining its leadership in the field of superintelligence. This legislation reflects a consensus: AI is no longer just a tool; it is becoming the next foundational layer of governance in digital life.

However, if the GENIUS Act represents a state-led, top-down approach, then CARV offers an exploration in the opposite direction: a user sovereignty-centered, decentralized programmable intelligence system. The government emphasizes regulation and monopoly, while CARV advocates open collaboration; centralized models emphasize control, while CARV promotes modular co-construction; traditional systems extract user data, while CARV empowers users to control their data and profit from it.

CARV's commitment to the future has been practically validated. In the second quarter of 2025, CARV signed 12 new partners in AI, infrastructure, and consumer sectors, marking its transition from a 'data pipeline' to a true Agent ecosystem.

On the infrastructure front, Open Ledger is helping users contribute their data for AI training and usage, realizing data monetization; Boom is embedding smart points and recommendation mechanisms into CARV Play. At the AI application layer, CARV's integration with Unibase, SirenAI, and XPIN enables on-chain AI applications to achieve verifiable, privacy-protecting data flows—whether in communication protocols or context understanding.

On the consumer end, CARV is collaborating with World 3, EureXa AI, and OKZOO to enable AI Agents to be applied in various scenarios such as gaming, smart homes, and even pet companionship. In education, the Hooked platform, supported by Binance Labs, is exploring the use of CARV ID for verifiable learning certification, indicating that decentralized identity will also play a core role in AI-powered education.

These collaboration cases collectively validate CARV's core belief: to empower truly sovereign AI Beings, it is necessary to build a complete ecosystem encompassing identity systems, cryptographic contexts, real-time decision-making, and transparent incentives. This is not just infrastructure; it is the operating system for AI Beings.

As the Tech Fairness Hackathon approaches its conclusion, it is no longer just a showcase of ideas, but a real evolution of the CARV roadmap. The participants are not only competing for the prize money but are also building an 'intelligent civilization' in a smart, verifiable, autonomous, and decentralized world.

With the gradual clarification of global AI policies, from the GENIUS Act to the upcoming international AI agreements, CARV's answer is: AI should not only be governed but empowered to exist. The future is not tool-driven, but agent-led. The rise of AI Beings has already begun, and CARV is paving the way for it.

About CARV

CARV is the native home of AI Beings, a digital ecosystem where AI exists, learns, and evolves.

What are AI Beings? They are inherently on-chain, sovereign entities. AI Beings are designed to possess goals, autonomy, and growth capabilities, with memory, identity, perception, and interaction abilities. They do not just execute tasks; they can independently make decisions, adapt to their environment, and pursue customized goals.

CARV has built a complete technology stack, including the self-developed CARV SVM chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and the CARV ID and Agent ID system based on ERC-7231, providing AI Beings with verifiable, authorization-based data learning and collaboration capabilities. Leveraging this AI-first infrastructure, AI applications incubated by CARV Labs have been successively launched on Google Play and the App Store, bringing the experience of smart Agents into daily life.

Currently, CARV has issued over 8 million CARV IDs, deployed over 60,000 verification nodes, and integrated over 1,000 on-chain games, building a bridge connecting AI Agents, Web3 infrastructure, and real application scenarios. Its native token $CARV serves as the staking, governance, and coordination function within the entire ecosystem, making CARV the 'operating system' for AI Beings on Web3.
