Beyond intellectual property concerns, personal data represents a far more structural challenge.

AI systems trained on user-generated activity, social signals, gameplay behavior, preferences, wallet history, interactions, can unintentionally internalize sensitive information, contextual nuance, and identity-linked patterns.

When data pipelines lack verifiable consent, programmable governance, and cryptographic safeguards, users become passive inputs in systems they neither oversee nor benefit from.

This creates a fundamental asymmetry Users generate the majority of digital data, but have little visibility, ownership, or economic participation in how it trains and powers AI.

This is where CARV intervenes.

CARV introduces:

🔹Programmable identity (CARV ID) to bind data to verifiable ownership

🔹Cryptographic consent frameworks to define how data can be accessed and utilized

🔹Onchain receipts and auditability to prove provenance and usage

🔹Incentive-aligned data markets where participation is transparent and value flows back to contributors

By embedding identity, consent, and verification at the protocol layer, CARV transforms data from extractable fuel into user-owned infrastructure.

True AI autonomy cannot exist without verifiable data sovereignty.

CARV builds the missing layer that makes it possible. 🧢
