What is Carv

Carv is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with the mission to build a player-owned gaming identity that enable achievement display, friends & games discovery, as well as direct monetization. Carv empowers games and guilds to accurately distribute and launch incentive campaigns to players.

The benefits of 'Carv Protocol' and Carv.io are as follows:

For players: with all this information in one place, players are able to clearly review their achievements and footprints in gaming, mint them into SBTs, and unlock SBT-gated benefits across games. There's also an SBT-based game sharing community for more genuine and efficient game discovery. Furthermore, the SBTs showcasing players' most proud gaming memories will be connected via a middleware plug-in to other Web2 or Web3 social spaces, allowing users to socialize with their credentials.
For game studios: game studios can leverage the achievement APIs of 'Carv Protocol' to easily launch any kinds of campaigns or advertisement accurately to players. For example, games can design a growth path for players and reward them with NFT badges and other benefits for better retention. With ‘Carv Protocol’, game distribution is made possible to target more valuable users rather than speculative ones to participate in INOs and downloads, and eventually grow more sustainable communities.
For guilds: gaming guilds can select scholars based on their past performances in different games with different guilds, which adds accuracy and fairness to the selection process. Moreover, with a hard evidence of their accumulative performance, players will push themselves to build their best 'resume' that they can carry around and getting them perks across games. In the meantime, guilds maximize their profits.

We are taking the Web3 gaming ecosystem to the next level by building gamer credential infrastructures, middleware tools, and a multi-sided platform, Carv.io. We also aspire to bridge Web2 gamers to Web3 gaming ecosystem, maximizing value to players, game developers, guilds, and investors.
