CARV Unveils Cashie 2.0: A Protocol to Turn Social Engagement into On-Chain Value

1 hour ago 4 sources positive

CARV, a platform focused on sovereign AI Beings, has launched Cashie 2.0, a significant upgrade to its programmable on-chain layer designed to bridge social engagement with economic activity. The core innovation is the integration of the x402 protocol, which transforms social actions into verifiable, automated, and privacy-preserving on-chain rewards.

The system is architected around three foundational pillars: x402 Payment ('The Pledge'), which allows projects or Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to pledge funds to a campaign with a single ERC-3009 signature; CARV ID ('The Proof'), an identity oracle that maps social media handles to on-chain identities; and an ERC-8004 AI-powered Agent ('The Executor') that autonomously verifies, monitors, and distributes rewards.

For developers, CARV is introducing a new agent-native stack. This includes the open-sourced CARV x402 Facilitator—a high-performance verifier to prevent signature replay—and an AI-native HTTP API. This API allows other AI agents to programmatically "hire" Cashie to run campaigns, enabling an agent-to-agent social commerce economy. Furthermore, Cashie 2.0 offers universal ERC-20 token support via a txHash-based verification system, making it accessible to the entire Base ecosystem, not just tokens with specific signature support.

To drive adoption, CARV has launched a Creator Campaign with a $45,000 prize pool to incentivize creators and participants. The company reports a substantial existing infrastructure, with over 8 million CARV IDs issued, 60,000+ verifier nodes, and 1,000+ integrated projects. The $CARV token serves as the core utility token, powering staking, governance, and coordination across the CARV ecosystem.
