what's Carbon DeFi?
Carbon DeFi is an advanced on-chain trading protocol designed for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, primarily on Ethereum. It introduces irreversible liquidity mechanisms, allowing users to buy tokens within a specified price range and automatically sell them at higher ranges, enabling automated strategies without constant monitoring. This architecture supports features like limit orders, range orders for dollar-cost averaging (DCA), and grid trading, all executed on-chain in a non-custodial manner with support for standard ERC-20 tokens. The protocol differentiates itself through its bonding curve-based design, which uses single-token curves per trade rather than multi-token automated market makers (AMMs). This setup inherently prevents common exploits like sandwich attacks by eliminating the visibility and manipulability of transaction ordering in traditional DEXs. Users can deploy strategies across various pairs, such as ETH/USDC or WBTC/ETH, with built-in solvers that optimize execution using chain-wide liquidity. Carbon DeFi emphasizes precision and control for traders, functioning like an on-chain DEX trading bot. It integrates with ecosystems like Bancor and has launched on multiple networks, including COTI V2 and Tac Build, promoting efficient, automated trading in volatile markets.
