Introduction to Carbon
Crypto perpetuals + real-world asset CFDs. One account. Institutional execution. On-chain rails.
The On-chain Prime Broker for Global Markets.
Carbon is a decentralized derivatives venue that aggregates real liquidity from crypto and traditional finance into one on-chain account. Today, 550+ crypto perpetual pairs are live with deep, hedged liquidity. Real-world asset CFDs (stocks, FX, indices, commodities) are next, bringing the total to 750+ markets at launch.
Trade with stable rates, tighter spreads, and the deepest liquidity routed through professional solvers.
Carbon's architecture combines Automated RFQ (ARFQ) execution with a network of solvers who hedge across global crypto venues today, and global crypto + TradFi venues once RWAs are live. No synthetic assets. No shallow AMMs. Just direct, efficient on-chain exposure to the world's most liquid markets.
Built like a prime broker. Accessible like a DEX.
What Carbon is bringing on-chain
Real-world asset markets, properly. Not synthetic perps with on-chain mark prices. Real CFDs hedged 1:1 against the actual market. Stocks priced like stocks. Forex priced like forex. Liquidity sourced from where these assets actually trade.
Wall Street depth, on-chain rails. 750+ markets at full launch. Stable rates, tighter spreads, broker-grade pricing. The depth of global derivatives venues, with the self-custody, transparency, and permissionless access of on-chain.
One account, both asset classes. A single USDC deposit. A single wallet. A single position panel. Long AAPL and short BTC, managed from the same place. No separate platforms, no separate margin pools per asset class.
Crypto perps already live. 550+ crypto perpetual pairs trade today through third-party market-maker solvers, settling through the same ARFQ infrastructure that will carry CFDs at launch. Trade perps now. Add real-world assets to the same account when the RWA release ships.
Our Mission
Make derivatives trading on global markets accessible on-chain, with deep liquidity, transparent execution, and self-custody by default.
We are building the infrastructure for a future where any trader can access any market, instantly and securely, from any wallet, without KYC.
Our Vision
A single on-chain venue where every asset class (crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities) trades with the speed and depth of traditional finance.
Carbon is the core execution layer for ARFQ trading: solving liquidity fragmentation and execution bottlenecks with a model that is provably solvent, capital efficient, and easy to integrate.
Today: 550+ crypto perpetual pairs live. Next: 205 real-world asset CFDs at launch, bringing the total to 750+ on-chain markets.
