How CARV and ChainPatrol are Working Together to Empower Web3 Gamers
Web3 gaming leverages blockchain technology to give players true ownership of in-game assets, enabling them to buy, sell, and trade items across games and platforms. It promotes transparency, decentralization, and fair player participation, creating a more rewarding and interconnected gaming experience.
In the rapidly evolving Web3 gaming landscape, security is more critical than ever, and Web3 gaming projects are taking note. Victor Yu, the co-founder and COO of CARV, is a trailblazer in the Web3 data empowerment space. With a dynamic background as a serial entrepreneur, startup advisor, and investor, Victor has played pivotal roles at McKinsey, IDG Capital, and more.
We sat down with Victor to learn how CARV is reshaping decentralized gaming, tackling online threats, and building a secure, innovative ecosystem for Web3 gamers. Let’s dive into Victor’s insights and the transformative work CARV is doing in this space.
🛡ChainPatrol:
Can you start by explaining what CARV does in the Web3 space?
🎙️CARV:
CARV is a pioneer of data empowerment in the Web3 space. We aim to revolutionize the future of gaming and AI by redefining how data is used and shared by providing a modular data protocol that enables seamless data exchange, ownership, and monetization across decentralized ecosystems.
Our solutions, like CARV ID, unify user identities and accounts across blockchains through the implementation of ERC-7231 that binds multiple Web2 and Web3 identities to a single non-fungible token (NFT) and achieves encrypted aggregation of multi-domain identity data. The result is an “identity of identities” that enables self-authentication, social overlapping, and commercial value generation from targeted user data.
🛡ChainPatrol:
How does your offering benefit Web3 gamers?
🎙️CARV:
For Web3 gamers, CARV enhances their experience by offering unified identities, reputation tracking, and asset interoperability across games and platforms. Through CARV ID, gamers can build persistent, verifiable reputations that carry over to different games and ecosystems. This is achievable through our first party dApps, CARV Play and Infinite Play where gamers can discover new games in the space, finish missions, and earn tangible rewards in return for the data that they are sharing.
🛡ChainPatrol:
What is the value of decentralized gaming, and how is CARV contributing to the growth of the Web3 gaming space?
🎙️CARV:
Decentralized gaming empowers players by providing them true ownership of their assets, transparent governance, and participation in a fair economy. CARV contributes to this by creating the infrastructure to connect gaming ecosystems and enabling developers to build interoperable experiences. Our solutions allow players to control and monetize their in-game achievements and assets, aligning with the ethos of decentralization. Furthermore, we support Web3 gaming growth by creating tools for identity management, cross-chain liquidity, and decentralized data monetization, which lower the barriers for developers and players alike.
🛡ChainPatrol:
When and how did the CARV team come to realize that your project is being targeted by online threats like phishing and impersonation?
🎙️CARV:
As our user base and ecosystem has grown, we’ve noticed an uptick in phishing attempts, fake accounts, and impersonation scams targeting our community and brand. These threats became apparent through user reports, social media activity, and monitoring tools. The increasing value of our platform, coupled with our TGE and Airdrop period, has made CARV an attractive target for malicious actors.
🛡ChainPatrol:
What are the main ways that these threats impact CARV, and the CARV community?
🎙️CARV:
Such threats undermine users’ trusts, disrupt community engagement, and pose financial risks to our users. Phishing attacks can compromise user wallets, while impersonation scams may dilute our brand’s credibility. For a project like CARV, which is rooted in trust and innovation, addressing these challenges is critical to safeguarding our reputation and ensuring user confidence.
