Pricing Data & Oracles

Carbon uses a competitive Solver network to deliver accurate, real-time pricing, sourced from across the market, not a single feed.

Unlike traditional exchanges that rely on one pricing source, Solvers on Carbon pull data from multiple places: CEXs, DEXs, and OTC venues, to offer the most competitive quotes and best execution.

How Carbon Gets Pricing Data

• Solver-Driven Quotes Solvers continuously stream quotes to Carbon, sourcing pricing from multiple venues to reflect real market conditions.

• Competitive Accuracy Solvers compete to offer the best quotes, creating a pricing environment driven by market efficiency, not manipulation.

The Role of Oracles

• Dispute Resolution Oracles step in only when needed, to resolve price disputes or edge cases where pricing deviation occurs.

• Liquidation Triggers & Risk Monitoring Oracles evaluate account health and collateral. If margin requirements aren’t met, liquidation is triggered via a neutral third party.

Why This Matters

• Accurate Pricing Solver competition ensures you always get the most reliable quotes.

• Fair Liquidation Process Oracles act independently, protecting traders from unfair liquidations.

• Fast & Efficient Execution Solver-sourced quotes mean low slippage, minimal latency, and better trade outcomes.
