On October 11th, 2024, InfStones had the pleasure of co-hosting an AMA with CARV, alongside Easeflow and NodeOps, to celebrate the CARV mainnet launch and discuss important node operation updates.

Ambero, CARV's CTO, led the session and shared valuable insights into setting up nodes, the introduction of veCARV, and rewards for node operators. Below are the key takeaways from the event.

Mainnet Launch and Node Setup

The AMA kicked off with the announcement of CARV’s mainnet launch at UTC +0 on the same day. Ambero provided a deep dive into the technical aspects of running nodes and shared clear instructions on how users could set up and secure their nodes through the command line or CARV’s desktop application. He emphasized security best practices, such as closing all ports and using a fresh private key for node operations.

veCARV Rewards and Buyback Program

Another major session of the AMA focused on CARV's veCARV system, which allows node operators to accumulate veCARV tokens daily and redeem them for CARV tokens at a 1:1 ratio. Ambero also disclosed CARV's buyback program for node-generated veCARV. Node operators will now receive higher rewards for the first six months, with the opportunity to redeem or sell their node if returns do not meet their expectations.Throughout the AMA, Ambero stressed the importance of maintaining node uptime. He also hinted at upcoming developments, such as CARV’s integration with AI-driven data processing and a continued focus on decentralization.
