Supported by key blockchain venture capital firms such as HashKey Capital and Consensys, CARV aims to revolutionize the data ecosystem by empowering users to control and monetize their data.
The accelerator, powered by CARV Protocol, will not only offer financial backing but also provide essential resources and guidance to startups to aid in their growth and development.
Empowering Startups with Vital Support
The newly launched accelerator is focused on enabling a dynamic and decentralized data infrastructure, facilitating user empowerment and data monetization.

Particularly noteworthy is CARV's commitment to supporting innovators dedicated to shaping the future of decentralized data, as emphasized by CARV co-founder Victor Yu. The accelerator aims to cultivate a thriving ecosystem for innovation, motivated by the broader goal of driving progress and fostering user engagement in decentralized applications.
One of CARV Labs' first projects, BANANA, an idle game within the ton ecosystem, marked a significant milestone by attracting over 8 million users within just 4 weeks of its launch. This impressive achievement underscores CARV Labs' effectiveness in catalyzing innovation and driving user engagement in decentralized applications.

Collaborations with entities such as Arweave, Litentry, LEIA, and Alibaba Cloud further strengthen CARV's position in promoting innovation and growth within the accelerator program.
Looking ahead, CARV Labs is poised to advance its mission by launching a web3 gaming offering in collaboration with zkEVM L2 Linea, with plans to connect with the accelerator in the near future.
Continued Success and Future Growth
Since its inception, CARV has seen remarkable success, generating over $5 million in revenue year-to-date. A recent Series A funding round raised $10 million, led by Tribe Capital and IOSG Ventures, bringing the total funds raised to $50 million.
