CARV will introduce features such as x402 machine-to-machine payments, and the Season 3 airdrop has been postponed until May 2026.

PANews, November 7 - Modular data layer CARV announced a major upgrade to its AI Agentic Chain mainnet called "Shielded Mind," which utilizes zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology to achieve privacy protection and data sovereignty. This upgrade introduces the "Shielded Mind" runtime, a dual-layer architecture, and anti-front-running transaction features, enabling AI Beings to make autonomous decisions in a privacy-preserving environment while safeguarding user data security. Meanwhile, CARV's social chain payment tool Cashie is also advancing its 2.0 version update, including the introduction of x402 inter-machine payment functionality and integration of multiple technologies such as ERC-8004 architecture and ERC-4337 smart accounts.

Additionally, CARV has adjusted the Season 3 airdrop date to May 10, 2026, and extended the eligibility period for activities from May 10, 2025, to April 10, 2026. The airdrop distribution ratio has been increased to 4%. Community participation in Cashie tools and CARV activities will be key factors in earning the airdrop.

Earlier reports indicate that Binance will launch YALAUSDT and CARVUSDT perpetual contracts.
