# Introduction to Carbon

## <mark style="color:yellow;">**The Everything Perp DEX**</mark>

Carbon is a decentralized perpetual exchange designed to aggregate real liquidity from both crypto and traditional finance into one unified dex. It enables trading of hundreds of crypto and RWA pairs, backed by real liquidity, real hedging, and real solvency — all without compromising decentralization or performance.

**Trade 525+ Pairs with Zero Fees and the Deepest Liquidity, only on Carbon.**

Our architecture combines intent-based trading with solver-based execution, allowing users to access deep liquidity from platforms like Binance, Bybit, and global TradFi brokers. No synthetic assets. No shallow AMMs. Just direct, efficient exposure to the world’s most liquid markets — all on-chain.

**Carbon will be the first DEX to fully bridge TradFi and Crypto liquidity for optimal execution.**

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Our Mission</mark>

To unlock the full potential of derivatives trading by making real-world and crypto markets accessible on-chain, with deep liquidity, transparent execution, and no custodial risks.

**We are building the infrastructure for a future where any trader can access any market, instantly and securely, from anywhere, without KYC.**

### <mark style="color:yellow;">Our Vision</mark>

A single, unified perp dex where all asset classes — crypto, stocks, indices, forex, and commodities — can be traded on-chain with the same speed and depth as traditional finance.

Carbon is designed to become the core layer for all intent-based trading, solving liquidity fragmentation and execution bottlenecks with a model that is provably solvent, capital efficient, and easy to integrate.\
\
Carbon currently has 525+ Crypto Pairs live already, and soon this number will reach 900+ with the Bybit solver implementation. Afterwards, the focus will be on bringing RWAs on-chain in a true fashion, with 200+ CFDs live on launch.
