Carbon DeFi has launched advanced order types that eliminate slippage and provide complete price certainty for onchain trading. **Key Features:** - **Range Orders**: Set custom price ranges to automatically scale into or out of positions (e.g., buy from $1.25 down to $1.05) - **Recurring Orders**: Automate buy-low, sell-high cycles where filled orders automatically fund the opposite trade - Built-in solver sources liquidity from major DEXs across the chain - Native MEV sandwich attack immunity - Fully adjustable onchain with no expiry dates **Technical Advantages:** - 100% price certainty - traders receive exactly the price they set - Zero reliance on oracles, keepers, or hooks - Full and partial fills that are irreversible - No maker fees on filled orders Currently live on Ethereum, Sei Network, Celo, COTI, and Base.

CarbonDeFi introduces a different approach to decentralized trading where users set their exact trade price in advance, rather than accepting whatever price a liquidity pool offers. **Key features:** - Makers define their price and receive that exact amount when orders fill - Built-in solver aggregates liquidity from major DEXs across the chain - Complete immunity to sandwich attacks - No reliance on oracles, hooks, or keepers Unlike traditional AMMs where price and slippage depend on pool liquidity, Carbon's system provides 100% price certainty. The platform shifts traders from "takers" (trading at market price) to "makers" (providing liquidity at their chosen price). Trades execute through Bancor's Arb Fast Lane solver system, which sources liquidity across multiple decentralized exchanges to fill orders at the user-specified price.

Carbon DeFi has launched **Recurring Orders**, a new feature that automates buy-low, sell-high strategies without manual intervention. **How it works:** - Link a buy order and sell order into one automated strategy - As the buy fills, it funds the sell; as the sell fills, it funds the buy - The cycle continues automatically **Key features:** - Built-in solver system sources liquidity from major DEXs across the chain - Zero fees on filled orders - 100% price certainty - No expiry dates - Adjustable parameters - Immunity to MEV sandwich attacks - No third-party dependencies This eliminates the need for constant monitoring or repeated manual order placement. Available on Carbon DeFi and licensed deployments across Ethereum, Sei Network, Celo, COTI, and Base.

Carbon DeFi has introduced the **Arb Fast Lane**, an arbitrage framework approximately **20 times faster** than previously published designs. The system serves as Carbon DeFi's built-in solver, maintaining price parity across chainwide liquidity. **Key Features:** - Advanced DEX capabilities including limit, range, and recurring orders - Concentrated and full-range liquidity options - Programmable market making between any two standard ERC-20 tokens - Integration with chainwide liquidity from major DEXs The platform addresses two fundamental market requirements: liquidity and efficient arbitrage. EVM-compatible blockchains interested in deployment can contact @PrimalGlenn. [Learn more at Carbon DeFi](http://app.carbondefi.xyz)

CarbonDeFi has introduced **Recurring Orders**, a feature enabling automated buy-low-sell-high trading strategies. **Key features:** - Two linked orders (buy and sell) that automatically fund each other when executed - Strategy makers retain 100% of custom spreads with full adjustability - Supports any standard ERC-20 token pair - Uses built-in solver system for efficient order filling across chain liquidity The tool consolidates what traditionally required dozens of manual steps into a single strategy, designed to reduce friction for professional traders managing range-bound positions.

**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.

CarbonDeFi has introduced **Recurring Strategies**, a feature that automates the traditional "buy low, sell high" trading cycle. **How it works:** - Traders create two linked orders: one to buy and one to sell at different price points - When one order fills, the acquired tokens automatically fund the linked order - This creates a continuous trading cycle without manual intervention The platform eliminates the dozens of manual steps typically required on traditional order books, condensing them into a single automated strategy. According to @MBRichardson87, the product was "built specifically to enable traders to do the stuff they're already doing, but in a way that is a lot more frictionless and a lot more intuitive." The feature targets professional traders who think in terms of repeated cycles rather than single orders, offering continuous onchain activity with zero micromanagement.

**COTI Earn Season 2** is live on Carbon DeFi, offering users daily Token Points (TPs) that convert to $COTI at season's end. **How it works:** - Create strategies using $USDC, $wBTC, $wETH, $COTI, or $gCOTI - Earn daily Token Points automatically - Convert TPs to $COTI when season ends **Getting started:** - Visit Carbon DeFi platform - Select the gift icon to view existing COTI strategies - Deploy your chosen assets to start earning Users report checking their strategies has become part of their daily routine, with one saying *"I get up, and I check my strategies on Carbon DeFi... it's like 'Oh, I got this many TPs today.'"* The program continues the successful first season, providing a straightforward way to earn COTI tokens through DeFi strategies.

**Fixed-point math** could make DeFi exchanges more precise and resilient. - New scaling constants preserve decimal precision for small numbers (0 < u < 1) - Requires retrofitting algebraic models to compensate for re-scaled parameters - Research presented at DNA House during EF Devconnect in Argentina **Why it matters:** Better mathematical foundations could improve the health and integrity of DeFi protocols by reducing rounding errors in complex trading algorithms. The presentation explores how theoretical math principles apply to real-world exchange algorithms, connecting academic research to practical DeFi improvements.
