**CARV is developing infrastructure for on-chain agent coordination**, moving beyond basic tokenization to enable agents that can actively transact and reward. The platform focuses on three key areas: - **Identity management** for autonomous agents - **Intent execution** capabilities - **Ownership verification** systems This represents a shift from agents that simply hold value to those that can **send, receive, and distribute rewards** independently. The development builds on earlier trends showing AI agents in DeFi evolving from providing insights to executing transactions directly on-chain. CARV positions this as bridging the gap between tokenization foundations and practical agent coordination tools.
