The Token Engineering Research Symposium (TERSE 2026) will take place March 31 in Cannes during EthCC[9]. The academic forum addresses a gap in blockchain education, as noted by Bancor's MB Richardson: this emerging field lacks formal training programs, making peer learning essential. **Key Details:** - **Date:** March 31, 2026 - **Location:** Palais des Festivals, Cannes - **Registration:** [luma.com/sq4gdmxq](https://luma.com/sq4gdmxq) The symposium is hosted by Bancor in collaboration with Token Engineering, UZH Blockchain Center, TE Labs, EthCC, and IEEE Blockchain. A companion event, the Token Engineering Breakout Session, offers hands-on workshops for protocol designers and engineers on April 1st. [Register here](https://luma.com/hb61z6gx). The forum welcomes research submissions across protocol design, incentive mechanisms, governance, and economic security.

**CarbonDeFi has launched Range Orders**, a trading feature that allows users to execute buy or sell orders across a defined price range rather than at a single price point. **Key features:** - Trades execute progressively as the market moves through the specified range - Eliminates the need for precise market timing - Users define both the starting and ending price points - Works with any two standard ERC-20 tokens The platform's architecture uses **two independent curves** - one for buying and one for selling - allowing strategies to follow exact user-defined parameters. Each curve trades in only one direction. Range Orders complement CarbonDeFi's existing features including concentrated liquidity strategies with automatic compounding and a built-in solver system that accesses liquidity from major DEXs. Users can create Range Orders at [app.carbondefi.xyz](http://app.carbondefi.xyz)

CarbonDeFi has activated a new rewards cycle on the Celo blockchain. **Key Details:** - Existing qualifying strategies for USDm/USDGLO and CELO/USDGLO pairs will automatically resume earning rewards - This follows the previous rewards cycle that concluded earlier in March - Rewards are distributed daily through Merkl Users with active trading strategies on these pairs don't need to take any action - their positions will continue earning as the new phase begins. The program continues CarbonDeFi's ongoing incentive structure for liquidity providers on Celo.

**Carbon DeFi's Concentrated Liquidity** enables traders to create custom liquidity positions with unprecedented flexibility. **Key Features:** - Pair any two standard ERC-20 tokens - Define custom price ranges without tick constraints - Set personalized fee tiers and spreads - Edit prices, pause, or modify strategy types without withdrawing funds **Technical Advantages:** - **Native auto-compounding** automatically reinvests earned fees - **Built-in solver system** sources liquidity across the entire blockchain, keeping positions actively trading Unlike traditional DEXs with preset parameters, Carbon DeFi gives users complete control over their liquidity strategies while maintaining continuous market exposure.

Carbon DeFi is licensing its smart contract technology to multiple DeFi projects, allowing them to deploy the platform's orderbook-style functionalities. **Key Features Being Licensed:** - One-directional trades and range orders for scaling - Linked orders for automated buy low, sell high strategies - MEV sandwich attack immunity - Arb Fast Lane solver system for liquidity aggregation The licensing represents a step toward long-term protocol sustainability as Carbon DeFi continues development. The Arb Fast Lane is expanding to Layer 2 networks, aiming to improve price alignment and liquidity efficiency across chains. Bancor representatives will discuss the technology at Consensus Hong Kong.
