[PRESS RELEASE – Santa Clara, California, February 14th, 2025]
CARV, the leading AI-chain ecosystem for data sovereignty, has announced an upgrade to its groundbreaking D.A.T.A. (Data Authentication, Trust, and Attestation) Framework, marking a pivotal shift in how AI agents interact with on-chain and off-chain data.
With Phase 2, CARV’s D.A.T.A. framework becomes the first AI agent framework that seamlessly integrates verifiable on-chain data, cognitive AI reasoning, and economic self-awareness with token-driven intelligence, optimizing ecosystems and monetizing actions—turning AI from passive assistants into autonomous, decision-making entities.
This update introduces DeepSeek’s advanced reasoning models, CARV ID (ERC-7231 standard), and token-driven behavioral intelligence, allowing AI agents to process verifiable data, execute financial transactions, and interact dynamically with decentralized ecosystems.
“AI has long operated in silos, disconnected from economic and data ecosystems,” said Yukai Tu, CTO of CARV. “With D.A.T.A. Framework 2.0, AI agents are no longer just reactive tools; they are proactive, intelligent participants in a decentralized world—capable of reasoning, verifying, and transacting autonomously with economic self-awareness through token-driven intelligence.”
The Dawn of AI-Powered Web3 Economies
Traditional AI systems have relied on closed, unverifiable data sources, limiting their ability to interact meaningfully with blockchain economies. D.A.T.A Framework 2.0 changes this paradigm by equipping AI agents with:
- Economic Intelligence: AI agents can own wallets, create digital assets, and execute transactions based on trust metrics and tokenized incentives.
- Multi-Chain & Off-Chain Awareness: By leveraging CARV’s deep Web3 integrations, AI agents can now fetch, verify, and act on real-time blockchain data.
- Token-Driven Trust Models: Agents adjust interaction patterns based on verified holdings and ecosystem contributions, making AI-driven platforms more secure and trustworthy.
- Verifiable AI Reasoning: Through DeepSeek’s cognitive architecture, AI agents can now analyze data, generate self-validated conclusions, and refine strategies dynamically.
Through Chain-of-Thought Processing, AI models generate detailed step-by-step reasoning before executing actions, ensuring more informed and strategic decision-making. Multi-stage verification allows agents to perform self-checks on their conclusions, enhancing accuracy and reliability in complex scenarios. Meanwhile, Reinforcement Learning enables AI to evolve dynamically based on real-time blockchain interactions, optimizing strategies and decision-making over time. This fusion of advanced cognitive processes empowers AI agents to operate with greater autonomy, intelligence, and security within decentralized ecosystems.
Furthermore, with DeepSeek’s cognitive reasoning embedded into D.A.T.A. framework, AI agents can now execute trades, allocate capital, and make governance decisions with unprecedented intelligence and security.
“The integration of DeepSeek into CARV’s D.A.T.A. Framework marks a turning point in AI development,” said Yukai Tu, CTO of CARV. “We are shifting AI agents from passive tools to self-evolving, economically aware entities that engage autonomously with both data and digital assets. By merging reasoning, trust, and decentralized intelligence, we’re setting a new standard for AI’s role in the Web3 ecosystem.”
To further enhance trust and personalization, CARV has integrated CARV ID to D.A.T.A. framework. CARV ID is a cross-chain identity unification layer that enables AI agents to:
- Link blockchain activity to social presence (e.g., Twitter, Telegram, Discord)
- Monetize interactions, optimize token economies, and drive sustainable growth
- Access holistic, multi-chain insights for hyper-personalized AI interactions
By bridging on-chain identity with Web2 reputation, AI agents can tailor their responses, build trust-based engagement models, and dynamically adjust interactions based on real-world credentials. Read more and build now with CARV’s D.A.T.A. Framework.
