CARV Play Portal features enhanced permission management for POW
The CARV Play Portal has been updated to better manage how tasks are checked, particularly for activities known as Proof of Work (POW), which are very popular with our gaming partners. Now, the portal allows game groups, especially those run by their members (DAOs) and those focusing on community governance, to let community managers or ambassadors help with checking tasks. This means tasks can be reviewed and approved faster.
Moff Bot v2 is now live!
Moff is a special bot created by CARV for Discord, designed to help with managing communities and analyzing performances. Already, over 100 groups are using Moff, hitting the maximum number of groups a single bot can serve on Discord. With Moff Bot v2, we're able to keep all the great features of the original while extending our data analysis services to even more groups.
