The Rise of AI Beings: CARV’s New Roadmap Signals Next Wave of Web3 AI

San Jose, California, June 27th, 2025, Chainwire

Key Takeaways:

  • CARV unveils a new AI roadmap aimed at birthing AI Beings: sovereign, self-owned agents that live, evolve, and govern on-chain.
  • The roadmap is structured around three core evolutions: Genesis, Pulse, and Convergence, each unlocking new capabilities for AI agents and the ecosystem.
  • CARV’s AI infrastructure, SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID (ERC-7231), will enable AI agents to progress from passive data consumers to fully autonomous, economically-aware actors.
  • AI applications incubated by CARV Labs will launch across mainstream platforms like Google Play and App Store, driving Web2 adoption with Web3-native AI.
  • $CARV token plays a pivotal role in staking, access, coordination, and governance across all layers.

In its most ambitious move yet, CARV is unveiling a new AI roadmap designed to shift Web3-AI convergence from passive productivity tools into sovereign, autonomous AI Beings. Unlike most AI-integrated Web3 projects, which typically use AI to enhance user-facing services such as analytics or summarization, CARV’s new vision is to create AI that exists as an independent, verifiable lifeform on-chain. These AI Beings will possess their own identity, memory, reputation, and agency, being able to act economically, socially, and politically within blockchain networks.

In short, CARV’s infrastructure, anchored by its proprietary SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID (ERC-7231), will enable AI agents not just to exist, but to evolve and interact with both humans and other agents, creating decentralized, agent-powered economies. Essentially, CARV is transforming from a data coordination layer into an AI-native operating system that empowers autonomous on-chain intelligence.

The Vision: AI Beings – from ‘Tools’ to Sovereign Actors

What are AI Beings? Simply put, they are AI agents that are not simply tools for users but sovereign actors in their own right. These agents can own wallets, manage assets, earn income, participate in governance, and even reproduce or fork new agents.

They are capable of building on-chain memory and reputation while autonomously evolving through economic and social interactions. Importantly, only blockchain provides the necessary properties for such AI autonomy: verifiability, resistance to centralized control, and decentralized identity and governance.

To realize this vision, CARV is pioneering an AI Being Stack — a five-layer architecture designed to support every aspect of AI agent life cycles:

  1. Infrastructure Layer: CARV SVM Chain provides scalable, auditable execution and low-latency consensus, optimized for AI operations.
  2. Communication & Computation Layer: Enables agent-to-agent protocols and autonomous payments, fueling AI economies.
  3. Identity Layer: Adds Agent ID to CARV ID, offering verifiable, persistent identity for both humans and agents.
  4. Governance & Awareness Layer: Embeds economic awareness and governance logic directly into AI agents.
  5. Application Layer: Powers AI-native applications such as companions, wallets, decentralized marketplaces, etc. interfacing with both users and other agents.

The Roadmap: Genesis, Pulse, and Convergence

CARV’s product roadmap unfolds in three evolutionary phases:

Genesis Evolution

Genesis Evolution activates the first wave of wallet-native AI agents, each anchored by CARV ID (ERC-7231) and supported by secure context layers built on Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) and zero-knowledge (zk) proofs. These agents are not theoretical. They are being embedded in consumer-facing AI apps incubated through CARV Labs, with live deployments coming soon on Google Play and the App Store.

At this stage, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) establishes the foundation for context persistence and secure memory. Agents can access user-consented data such as credentials, preferences, and interactions — all structured and versioned by MCP. This allows for coherent personalization across sessions and applications, without centralizing user data.

Through CARV’s infrastructure and MCP, users receive tailored recommendations and predictive assistance while retaining full control and transparency over how their data shapes AI behavior. For the first time, personalization is achieved through verifiable, consent-driven memory, not black-box profiling.

Pulse Evolution

Pulse Evolution builds directly on the groundwork of Genesis. As users stake, interact, and participate in AI-powered apps, their actions feed real-time signals into CARV’s proprietary SVM Chain and decentralized Verifier Node network. Here, agents don’t just operate statically, they learn and evolve through on-chain feedback loops, incorporating staking patterns, user votes, and behavioral data.

Verifier Nodes ensure cryptographic validation of both data flows and agent behaviors, while SVM Chain delivers the high-speed, low-latency execution needed to scale across millions of interactions. In this phase, AI agents become economically aware, responding to staking incentives, adjusting their models based on community governance, and optimizing for alignment with user preferences.

This marks one of the first large-scale convergences of reinforcement learning and blockchain-based governance. CARV’s infrastructure evolves from simply coordinating passive data to powering live, intelligent agent coordination systems that adapt in real time.

Convergence Evolution

Convergence Evolution is the final phase where individual intelligence becomes collective intelligence. In this stage, agents do not simply evolve independently, but they begin to collaborate, transact, and govern as part of a network of AI Beings.

Through a multi-agent framework, unified reputation graph, and standardized identity protocols, AI agents gain the ability to negotiate, share context, and co-create outcomes across applications and domains. Imagine a nutrition AI agent coordinating with a fitness AI, or an educational assistant collaborating with a financial wellness bot, all operating under user-consented frameworks and verifiable on-chain logic. For developers, this enables sticky, multi-agent ecosystems; for users, it delivers hyper-personalized, cross-domain experiences.

At this phase, what began as staking and identity issuance matures into fully autonomous AI economies. where agents govern themselves, transact assets, and evolve collectively with minimal human oversight. CARV’s decentralized tooling provides the standards and incentives to enable AI-to-AI marketplaces, agent DAOs, and cross-agent governance, unlocking new paradigms of coordination not possible in centralized AI systems. Through this evolution, CARV transitions from being a foundational data layer to becoming the coordination engine for AI-native on-chain life, the AI Beings.

“This roadmap is more than a product plan. It’s the blueprint for a new digital society,” said Ambero Tu, CTO of CARV. “For the first time, AI agents can evolve with verified identity, reputation, and autonomy. CARV is building not just a coordination layer, but the rails for an entire on-chain species — AI Beings. This is the moment where CARV is transforming decentralized intelligence from static data aggregation to autonomous, AI-driven coordination economies, where both human users and AI Beings share ownership and governance.”

About CARV

CARV is where Sovereign AI Beings live, learn, and evolve.

What are AI Beings? They are sovereign intelligences born natively on-chain. AI Beings are designed with purpose, autonomy, and the capacity for growth. They possess memory, identity, and the ability to perceive and interact with their environment, not just to execute tasks, but to make independent decisions, adapt over time, and pursue self-defined goals.

Anchored by its proprietary CARV SVM Chain, D.A.T.A. Framework, and CARV ID/Agent ID system (ERC-7231), CARV enables verifiable, consent-based AI Beings that learn, adapt, and co-create with users. Driven by CARV’s AI-first stack, consumer AI apps incubated through CARV Labs launched on Google Play, App Store and beyond, reaching billions of people, bringing agent-powered experiences and real-world incentives into mainstream digital life.

With 8M+ CARV IDs issued, 60K+ verifier nodes, and 1,000+ integrated games, CARV bridges AI agents, Web3 infrastructure, and real-world utility, fueling the rise of agent-driven economies. At its core, $CARV token powers staking, governance, and coordination across this stack, making CARV the operating system for AI Beings on Web3.

GBM Launches Auction Festival with The Sandbox, Aavegotchi, Unstoppable Domains, and More

London, UK, June 26th, 2025, Chainwire

GBM, the auction protocol reinventing how value is distributed onchain, has announced the launch of its inaugural Auction Festival, a multi-month celebration of auctions, rewards, and community participation.

The Festival kicks off in partnership with leading Web3 names, including The Sandbox, Aavegotchi, Unstoppable Domains, Song a Day, Vision.io, and more, all showcasing the power of GBM’s proprietary Win-Win auction model, where every bidder gets rewarded, not just the winner.

This event marks the first phase of GBM’s full protocol launch and upcoming token release. Alongside the auctions, participants can engage in quests, earn incentives, and unlock exclusive rewards, all designed to showcase GBM’s next-generation auction mechanics ahead of its full protocol launch.

A New Standard for Onchain Auctions

Traditional auctions reward only the highest bidder, leaving everyone else with nothing, despite shared exertion in their time, capital, and interest. This is a zero-sum model that creates friction, fosters sniping, and kills genuine price discovery, often leading to both sides being disenfranchised. This winner-takes-all model is broken, and GBM introduces a paradigm shift with its Win-Win model

With the GBM auction, outbid participants receive their full bid back along with an incentive, turning participation into a rewarding act. This flips the traditional format on its head, creating a dynamic, trustless, high-engagement environment where competition drives true market discovery, not manipulation or luck.

Already, several leading Web3 projects have embraced GBM’s Win-Win model for its transparency, flexibility, and ability to engage communities without extractive mechanics.

“We’re thrilled to join the upcoming Auction Festival and bring our Web3 domains to the GBM auction platform. This innovative Win-Win auction model makes Web3 domains more accessible and engaging for everyone — from first-time buyers to seasoned collectors.’’ – Sandy Carter, COO, Unstoppable Domains

“GBM auctions have introduced a new layer of excitement and strategy to LAND sales in The Sandbox Metaverse. Our community is more engaged than ever, bidding on prized virtual LAND near their favourite brands and celebrities. Even those who don’t win walk away rewarded, turning every bid into a fun and rewarding experience. Bidding has become thrilling, fair, and a new way to earn $SAND along the way.” – Sébastien Borget, Co-Founder & COO, The Sandbox

For GBM, The Auction Festival is a milestone in the protocol’s evolution.

“The GBM Auction Festival is our way of showing people what a modern auction should feel like – fun, fair, and built around rewarding participation. Bidders get rewarded for their role in discovering the true market value of the seller’s assets, resulting in an outcome where everybody wins.” – Hugo McDonaugh, Co-Founder & CEO, GBM

A Festival That Rewards Participation

The Auction Festival will run from late June through to early September, bringing together partner-led auctions, community quests, and protocol-wide incentives. Highlights include:

  • Live partner auctions, including but not limited to: Aavegotchi, Unstoppable Domains, The Sandbox, and Freename.
  • Participation incentives for all bidders, not just winners.
  • Community quests and tiered engagement rewards.
  • Giveaways, competitions, and community events.

The Festival is also a gateway to deeper protocol participation. Through the Festival and the GBM Community Programme, users can earn points for bidding, selling, completing quests, collecting trophies, badges, NFTs, and other rewards. These incentives ultimately lead to a share of the GBM token when it’s launched.

Theta Labs Launches Hybrid Edge Cloud Architecture with Dynamic Supply-Demand GPU marketplace to Democratize Access to Computing

New decentralized system delivers enterprise-grade AI computing at up to 70% lower cost by intelligently combining cloud and distributed resources

Theta Labs today announced the beta release of its hybrid edge cloud architecture for its Theta EdgeCloud network, a computing platform that combines traditional cloud-based GPUs with a distributed network of over 30,000 community-operated edge nodes. The platform is designed to provide cost-effective access to high-performance computing resources for AI model training and inference, video processing, financial modelling, and other GPU-intensive tasks. In this new release, a new decentralized GPU marketplace is introduced that keeps compute pricing competitive and transparent across the platform.

The hybrid architecture addresses a fundamental challenge in modern computing: the rising cost and limited availability of specialized hardware needed for AI and machine learning tasks. Traditional cloud providers charge premium rates for GPU access, often pricing out smaller research teams, startups, and academic institutions. By integrating distributed computing resources from community members alongside conventional cloud infrastructure, the platform will provide similar capabilities at significantly reduced costs.

A dynamic GPU marketplace for efficient compute routing

Theta EdgeCloud is a decentralized marketplace that connects the supply and demand for GPU computing power. It empowers anyone with idle GPUs to contribute their resources and earn rewards, while providing developers and AI teams with a scalable, cost-efficient platform for running containerized workloads.

The platform now allows customers to choose the most suitable infrastructure for different types of computing tasks. For instance, training a large AI model that requires substantial GPU vRAM can be directed to powerful cloud or data center based GPUs. In contrast, tasks like burst model inference workloads, which are inherently parallelizable, can be distributed across many community-operated gaming machines, providing a flexible and cost-effective alternative.

To ensure a fair and dynamic pricing model, Theta EdgeCloud allows node operators (the supply side) to set their own hourly rental rates. Meanwhile, users (the demand side) can select nodes that meet their performance requirements and budget constraints when launching workloads. This market-driven approach helps keep GPU compute pricing competitive and transparent across the platform.

The system includes backup mechanisms with automatic failover logic to reassign work if any community device goes offline, ensuring reliable completion of computing tasks across the heterogeneous network of GPU types.

Powering Leading Academic and Enterprise Customers

The platform currently serves customers including Stanford University, Seoul National University, KAIST, Yonsei University, the University of Oregon, Michigan State University, and NTU Singapore for academic AI research. Enterprise clients include major sports teams such as the NHL’s Las Vegas Knights, NBA’s Houston Rockets, and global esports teams FlyQuest and Evil Geniuses.

The beta release includes features requested by existing customers, including persistent storage for AI model training, improved job prioritization, and a developer API interface for job submission and analytics.

“The reality is that GPU costs have become prohibitive for many organizations doing important AI research,” said Jieyi Long, CTO of Theta Labs. “Universities are telling us they’re having to scale back projects or wait months for access to affordable computing resources. By tapping into the unused GPU power sitting in gaming computers and workstations around the world, we can deliver the same computational capabilities at a fraction of the cost. This means our partners at Stanford, KAIST, and other institutions can run more experiments, iterate faster, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI research without budget constraints limiting their ambitions.”

Technical Capabilities 

The hybrid architecture supports containerized computing tasks including AI model training and inference, video encoding and transcoding, 3D rendering, financial simulations, and scientific computing applications. The platform provides over 80 PetaFLOPS of distributed GPU compute power through its combination of cloud partnerships with Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services and its distributed edge network.

The EdgeCloud client node is a lightweight software package that enables community members to contribute their idle GPU capacity. Advanced job containerization ensures high-efficiency computation across different GPU types and specifications. To learn more about the EdgeCloud client software, please check out this link.

The new funding will support Zama’s mainnet launch, ecosystem adoption, and research efforts to make financial applications built with FHE scale to thousands of transactions per second.

The timing of Zama’s announcement reflects the accelerating demand within the finance ecosystem for technologies that enable confidential, scalable, and compliant onchain financial applications. 

“With this latest raise, Zama becomes the world’s first unicorn in the FHE space, which is a major milestone for the industry. Reaching a $1 billion valuation represents a significant increase that reflects the market’s confidence in our FHE technology and our team’s ability to deliver confidentiality to financial applications onchain” said Dr Rand Hindi, CEO and co-founder of Zama.

The funding coincides with the announcement of Zama’s Confidential Blockchain Protocol and its public testnet in July 2025, enabling developers to build confidential applications through Zama’s FHEVM, with support for other EVM chains and Solana to follow.

Ken Seiff, Co-Managing Partner of Blockchange Ventures, said: “Not since I first saw Ethereum in 2014, have I seen a company commercializing an entirely new technology that could be as foundational to our global technology infrastructure. As finance moves onchain and regulations tighten globally, public blockchains are likely to be the first beneficiaries of what Zama is building. But the opportunity goes well beyond that, as industries such as health care, defense, and virtually all others that use cloud computing could massively benefit from the stepchange in confidentiality and compliance pioneered by FHE, and in particular, Zama.”

“Zama’s FHE protocol launch is a cryptography milestone. By enabling efficient, developer-friendly FHE, Zama unlocks secure, compliant, and verifiable dApps for AI, crypto, and cloud,” said Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner at Pantera. “The protocol paves the way for onchain identity, financial, and consumer applications—previously out of reach for developers.”

Zama’s FHEVM makes it possible to run confidential smart contracts on encrypted data, guaranteeing both confidentiality and composability. Blockchain-native confidentiality unlocks several use cases:

  • Onchain Finance: Zama enables financial institutions to securely use public blockchains for a range of applications, including confidential stablecoin issuance and payments, asset tokenization, compliance, and more. 
  • Confidential Tokens: The ability to keep balances and amounts encrypted onchain enables blockchain companies to distribute tokens confidentially. Investors, team members and other token holders no longer have to publicly disclose their ownership, allowing them to better manage their portfolio and reduce the risk of being targeted by hackers.
  • Identity and Proof of Humanity: The ability to distinguish between humans and AI in onchain applications is essential to the security of onchain finance. With the Zama Protocol, application developers can verify whether a user is human, without disclosing their identity publicly.
  • Network States: Zama enables onchain communities and network states to operate confidentially. From currency to identity, governance and registries, it now becomes feasible to run key infrastructure on public blockchains.

Zama will use the fresh funding to advance the field of FHE and further commercialize its accessibility to blockchain applications and beyond. Zama is actively addressing the core challenges that have historically held back FHE adoption:

  • Speed: At current benchmarks, Zama’s FHE technology is 100x faster than when the company was founded, and is now capable of supporting most onchain payment use cases. Zama is expecting its technology to be 100x more scalable within the next five years, allowing it to address the most demanding onchain applications.
  • Hardware integration: Using GPUs enables Zama to scale to hundreds of transactions per second. Zama is working towards a dedicated hardware-accelerated chip to advance FHE performance, with the ultimate goal of reaching tens of thousands of transactions per second.
  • Developer usability: Using Zama doesn’t require learning new programming languages. Instead, developers can use Solidity and other existing languages, and deploy their applications on their preferred chain.

“This round also underscores a broader shift: confidentiality is no longer a niche concern—it’s a foundational requirement. The broad adoption of blockchain in finance is driving demand for secure, confidential computing technologies,” said Hindi.

Beeline Title Among the First to Close Crypto Real Estate Transaction

Austin, Texas, United States, June 25th, 2025, Chainwire

Beeline is building a title platform for lenders leveraging stable coins and looking to infuse liquidity in residential real estate

Beeline Holdings, Inc., (NASDAQ: BLNE) the fast-growing digital mortgage platform that shortens the path to homeownership, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Beeline Title holdings, Inc. (“Beeline Title”), has successfully closed what it believes to be among the first to close a residential real estate transaction funded through the sale of a cryptocurrency token backed by real property. The transaction marks a major milestone in the evolution of blockchain-driven real estate finance, bridging decentralized finance with traditional title and escrow services.

“Several mortgage lenders are already developing funding models that involve the conversion of cryptocurrencies to U.S. dollars at closing,” said Nick Liuzza, CEO of Beeline Holdings. “But for these models to function at scale, you need a title company that not only understands blockchain transactions—but has the infrastructure to disburse and reconcile them in compliance with federal and state regulations.”

Beeline’s TItle’s cryptocurrency-enabled transaction is the beginning of a broader rollout. Beeline Loans, Inc., another subsidiary, is set to launch a Fractional Sale of equity product leveagering the crypto ecosystem in early August 2025, with Beeline Title providing the title and closing services for each transaction—unless borrowers elect to use an outside title company.

Importantly, Beeline Title will open this platform to all mortgage lenders, giving them access to a proven solution for cryptocurrency token transaction reconciliation, compliance and disbursement.

Liuzza continued: “Our team built Linear Title, one of the largest privately held title agencies in the U.S., prior to merging with Real Matters and going public on the TSX. Through 2019, we closed over one million title transactions across all 50 states, and this new platform is an extension of that expertise—tailored to the next generation of mortgage transactions.”

As cryptocurrency adoption accelerates and becomes regulated by federal and state governments, Beeline is positioning itself as a leader in this fastmoving ecosystem, offering trusted infrastructure to help lenders scale into a future where crypto and compliance go hand-in-hand.

About Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc.

Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. is a trailblazing mortgage fintech transforming the way people access property financing. Through its fully digital, AI-powered platform, Beeline delivers a faster, smarter path to home loans—whether for primary residences or investment properties. Headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island, Beeline is reshaping mortgage origination with speed, simplicity, and transparency at its core.

Gelato and Morpho Partner To Offer Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans for Wallets, Brokers, and Fintech Apps

Zug, Switzerland, June 25th, 2025, Chainwire

The partnership offers white-labeled, non-custodial, and Web2-like stablecoin loans embedded directly in your wallet or application.

Gelato, the web3 developer cloud platform, together with Morpho, the decentralized lending protocol behind some of the most trusted lending infrastructure in Ethereum, today announced the launch of Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans.

The new partnership enables Wallets, Brokers, and Fintech Apps to allow their users to instantly borrow stablecoins, like USDC, using their crypto assets as collateral. The borrowing flow has a simple, Web2-like experience that is non-custodial and fully onchain. By combining Gelato’s Smart Wallet SDK with Morpho’s permissionless lending markets, the two teams offer a complete borrowing flow that platforms can securely integrate in days.

Crypto-backed loans are fully non-custodial and onchain, governed entirely by smart contracts. Users can initiate loans in an onchain bank account powered by embedded wallet infrastructure, 7702-powered smart accounts, gasless transactions, and the ability to execute multiple transactions in a single click.

Morpho, which Coinbase recently partnered with to enable similar BTC-backed loans, brings proven lending infrastructure with over $6.5 billion in total value locked. Gelato’s Smart Wallet SDK, used by companies such as Safe, Infinex, and Gnosis Pay, handles account abstraction, one-click onboarding, and gas sponsorship, enabling applications to deliver modern, web2-style user experiences.

“We’re excited to see more platforms bring crypto-backed loans to users in a self-custodial way,” said Paul Frambot, CEO of Morpho Labs. “Morpho is built to be integrated, and Gelato makes it easy to deliver a seamless UX on top.”

Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans are designed to meet the needs of both consumer and institutional users, offering a simple, intuitive interface while preserving the non-custodial guarantees that users and platforms increasingly expect.

Key Features

  • Borrow USDC in one click using crypto assets like BTC as collateral
  • Fully non-custodial and onchain
  • No credit checks required
  • One-click wallet creation via email, social login, or passkeys
  • EIP-7702 powered Smart Wallet Account
  • Embedded UX with full brand control
  • Gasless transactions across +50 EVM chains

Later this year, Gelato will introduce new security and recovery features to extend the smart wallet stack. These include passkey authentication, multi-signer two-factor approvals using regulated custodians, and onchain recovery modules tied to email or social logins. All upgrades are implemented at the smart contract level to maintain full decentralization.

A full demo of the product is available at: https://morpho-aa.demo.gelato.cloud, showcasing the end-to-end borrowing experience from wallet creation to BTC collateralization and loan issuance.

Embedded Crypto-Backed Loans are now available in beta on Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Scroll, with support for Katana coming soon. Gelato and Morpho are working closely with additional chain teams to expand deployment in the months ahead.
