a. Protocol and toolings🌟

• We have been actively running internal tests about new toolings to facilitate the CARV suite and improve the user experience.

• The CARV portal has undergone a role management upgrade, which allows games to launch events in a more streamlined user experience.

b. New CARV app🌟

With carv.io being an established platform, we would like to provide more accessibility for gamers, by introducing the first app. Our team has worked keenly to create an intuitive and user-friendly experience, packed with key features that we believe should be synced from the website version, including game discovery, badges, and events. We know it is still in its early stages and many fixes and touches need to be made. Therefore, we are more than welcome to invite users to test it out!

Expanding & Powering the Ecosystem🎮

CARV Portal has been the enabler in the vertical that opens for game self-listing. And we are glad to see newcomers onboard, highlighted by Exborts, Flappy Moonbird, Puli Runner, Cross the Ages, Shiba Shiba Doge, Superhero NFT Wars, and Mystic Treasure in recent days. In the meantime, 10-plus events commenced with excitement, including Ultiverse and Cyber8Ball's whitelist Raffle.

New partnership names have updated the list, including SNW, Flappy Moonbirds, and Puli Runner.

Community Highlights🎉

We are always more than proud to share community updates and event recaps.

In the past two weeks, CARV held live AMAs with game partners, Cross The Ages (March.14) and Yomi Games (March.16) respectively.

Since its recent launch, CARV Pass aggregated various types of events that are paired with considerable rewards, ranging from signing-ins to game achievements. The most participated quest has accumulated over 70k gamers. If you are not yet an owner, there will be more opportunities in the upcoming events to 'shortcut' and secure a seat. Stay close to us.

On the official CARV Discord server, we created a brand new section CARVerse as a content and news playground that keeps members informed and entertained. We hope everyone enjoys that.

Guardians as Gamers Squads🤝

Teeming with game talents, the CARV community is a camp base for gaming cohorts and other related productions. In the previous week, heeding the official tournament event, CARVers grouped to play Elemental Raiders in the live stream.

Guardians released the latest piece of the game discovery series: Hot Games on WAX, featuring Alien Worlds, The Forge Arena, R-Planet, Splinterlands, and Blockchain Brawlers. Over 30 community content creators as special badge holders are scaling their creative pieces.
