Introduction to Carbon

Crypto perpetuals + TradFi Markets. One account. Institutional execution. On-chain rails.

The Onchain Prime Broker for Global Markets.

Carbon is a decentralized derivatives venue that brings crypto and traditional markets into one on-chain account. Live today: 650+ crypto perpetual pairs and 125+ 24/7 RWAs with 200 TradFi Markets across stocks, forex, indices, and commodities, for 950+ markets in a single wallet, with new markets added every week.

Trade with wall street liquidity, the lowest cost of execution and stable rates.

Built like a prime broker. Accessible like a DEX.


Two ways to trade real-world markets

Different traders need different things. Carbon offers real-world exposure two ways, both on-chain, both from the same account.

Carbon TradFi. 200+ markets, hedged 1:1 at regulated TradFi venues, with real market pricing during market hours, benchmark-anchored overnight rates, and liquidity sourced from where these assets actually trade. This includes hundreds of markets you will not find on any 24/7 venue. Built for traders who want execution that tracks the real market tick for tick.

24/7 RWA markets. 125+ real-world markets that trade around the clock, on-chain, even when the underlying exchange is closed. Always-on access to stocks, indices, and commodities, with the speed and composability of crypto perps. Built for traders who want to react the moment news breaks, day or night, weekend or holiday.

About 30 assets are available both ways, so you can pick the mode that fits the trade. Everywhere else, the two line-ups are different: 24/7 markets for always-on access, Carbon TradFi for real-market execution and far broader coverage. Carbon is the venue that offers both, in one account.

Crypto perpetuals

650+ crypto perpetual pairs, executed through a network of third-party solvers competing on price and settled on-chain through Carbon's Automated RFQ (ARFQ) rails. Deep liquidity, stable rates, and up to 75x leverage.


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: 650+ crypto perpetual pairs and 300+ RWA pairs live. Next: thousands of TradFi markets next to all crypto perpetual markets.
