🏦Carbon Solver (CLP)
Coming Soon
The Carbon Solver Vault is a community-accessible vault that powers the protocol’s intent-based execution. It runs market-making strategies that allow anyone to earn from platform volume — not by trading, but by providing capital to fuel the Carbon Solver.
Unlike traditional market makers who earn behind closed doors or rely on private deals, Carbon opens solver earnings to the community — fully transparent, fully trackable, and built to scale.
What is the Carbon Solver?
The Carbon Solver is Carbon’s native execution engine. It powers the matching and settlement of intent-based trades by providing liquidity and hedging exposure across venues like Bybit (and soon, traditional finance brokers).
Instead of passively waiting for liquidity, the Solver actively sources it — operating delta-neutral strategies, and executing user intents at the best possible price across CEXs and TradFi.
How the Solver Vault Works
The Carbon Solver Vault (CLP) serves as the foundation for this system. It accepts USDC deposits from users and runs low-risk, delta-neutral strategies that profit from:
Spreads: Capturing the bid-ask difference between quotes and hedge execution.
Flow: Benefiting from consistent trading volume across the platform.
As Carbon scales, Solver earnings scale with it. The more users trade on Carbon, the more volume the Solver handles — and the more fees the vault earns.
This system is non-extractive. The Solver does not counter-trade users, and is designed to remain neutral, providing liquidity rather than taking positions.
Why Open Market Making to the Community?
Most DeFi platforms either:
Strike deals with opaque market makers, or
Use capital-inefficient liquidity pools that often bleed value.
Carbon’s approach is different. By opening the Solver Vault to users, we:
Distribute solver revenue to the community instead of external firms.
Align the growth of the protocol with those who help power it.
Create a transparent, auditable execution system backed by real capital.
This removes the need for backroom deals and allows early contributors to benefit directly from Carbon’s usage.
What About TradFi?
At launch, the Carbon Solver will be integrated with Bybit and support all Bybit perp pairs. This means you’ll earn from flow across BTC, ETH, altcoins, and more — even before RWA trading is live.
The next major upgrade is the integration of Traditional Finance liquidity via regulated CFD brokers. This unlocks 200+ new assets, including:
Stocks (e.g. AAPL, TSLA, NVDA)
Indices (e.g. S&P 500, DAX)
Commodities (e.g. Gold, Oil)
Forex pairs
As this liquidity goes live, the vault gains exposure to a broader range of volume and new trader segments — massively expanding earnings potential.
How Do I Earn?
Users can deposit USDC directly into the Solver Vault. Earnings are shared proportionally based on vault share.
Auto-Compounding: Rewards are automatically reinvested. No need to claim.
No Token Needed: There is no tokenized vault position. Everything is tracked natively.
Simple Onboarding: Just deposit and track performance via the webapp.
Low-Risk Design: The strategy is built to remain delta-neutral — it earns from spread and flow, not market direction.
Withdrawals will be available after a short lock-up period (to allow for rebalance cycles), and performance metrics will be visible on-chain.
Risks
Like any vault-based strategy, the Carbon Solver Vault is not risk-free. Risks include:
Adverse execution or slippage during hedge cycles
Venue outages or latency issues
Mispricing from off-chain sources
Strategy failure in extreme volatility
However, the Solver does not take directional bets, and is not exposed to impermanent loss. Its neutral design and off-chain hedging mechanisms provide a significantly lower risk profile than traditional AMMs or leverage-based strategies.
As always, users should only deposit what they are comfortable with and track vault performance regularly.
In Summary
Carbon opens up one of the most consistent and scalable forms of income in crypto — market making — to everyone.
Instead of letting centralized players extract value, Carbon’s Solver Vault allows the community to directly earn from trading activity on the platform.
As we launch more markets, integrate TradFi, and scale volume, vault participants will be the ones who benefit.
Coming soon to Carbon.
Once live, it will be a central liquidity source for Carbon’s Everything Perp DEX vision — from crypto to TradFi, from on-chain to off-chain.
Stay tuned.
