Bi-weekly Newsletter | CARV-Powered Banana Enters TON, CARV Node Updates, and More
Good Evening folks! This is CARV Janitor, CARV’s latest hire to clean up their mess and… washrooms. I thought cleaning was all I would be doing, but I want a promotion. Therefore, I’m taking over the Bi-Weekly Newsletter for this to show them I’m capable of doing more than just making washrooms sparkle. Here goes nothing… (tell them I did a good job regardless please)

1. First CARV-Powered Game Enters TON Ecosystem: Let's Go Bananas!
If you aren’t using Telegram or aren’t aware of the whole Telegram Gaming extravaganza, what are you even doing in Web3? The TON ecosystem is booming, with many games lining up to join. On July 26th, the first game powered by CARV protocol, called BANANA, entered the TON ecosystem. You can collect Bananas for FREE and convert them into real USDT! This has become my latest side hustle, but my banana-collecting obsession has been caught by my boss a few times. Once I collect $500 worth of bananas, I’m taking a vacation. If you haven’t tried this idle game yet, find it on Telegram: https://t.me/OfficialBananaBot
I’ve heard that players of this game can also earn a share of ad revenue in the future. Inviting a few friends to join might be a great idea (if you even have one...).
2. CARV Verifier Node Updates
All these tech jargons sound boring to me, but I heard it is quite essential for node owners, for example:
Alpha-veCARV Reward History
A comprehensive log of all rewards earned over time, helping users keep an accurate record of their earnings.
Verifier List Filter and Sort, adding Node Operator Labels
Labels have been introduced to distinguish between various node operators, including node service providers and solo operators. The new filtering feature enables users to quickly find their preferred delegate. In essence, the CARV Verifier Node is now more comprehensive and transparent, essential for the ecosystem's development.

Why Modularity Matters: Unlocking the Future of Data Infrastructure in Web3
By Hackernoon
Why do I care what modularity means? Okay but I can’t lie, reading about such geeky stuff makes me wish I studied harder in grad school instead of dropping out. Here’s a TLDR: So, "modular" is the hot new thing in blockchain, and it’s basically about breaking down big, clunky systems into smaller, efficient pieces. This makes blockchains faster, cheaper, and more secure—like upgrading from a jack-of-all-trades to a master-of-each.

The Power of Play: Web2 Games Need Web3 Stickiness
By Crypto News
Stop it with the Web2 and 3 guys. The only Web I’m looking for is Charlotte's Web. That said, I do think Web3 can help Web2 gaming in certain ways. But fine, I’ll give a TLDR: Traditional gaming is so last season with its falling revenues and pricey user acquisition. Web3 gaming is here to save the day with real digital ownership, token rewards, and play-to-earn fun. Now, players aren’t just wasting time—they're earning cash and becoming game stakeholders. Now give me Charlotte’s Web. Let’s run it back.
