**Note: This is not a token sale. See** [**https://carv.io/node-disclaimer**](https://carv.io/node-disclaimer) **for more details.**

CARV Foundation is committed to compliance. Participants will receive $veCARV instead of receiving native token directly and convert it to $CARV through redemption, then claim the rewards.

Check [here ](https://docs.carv.io/carv-token/utility)for more details about $veCARV and $CARV converting.
