With Ethermint coming to Carbon soon, it will become an EVM-chain, similar to @EvmosOrg and Canto, where anyone can deploy solidity smart contracts permissionlessly.
Carbon will build a native insurance fund token for perps & futures.
It will collect funds from liquidated positions closed above their bankruptcy price and will not only cover losses from losing trades but also payout potential black swans.
Users can contribute directly to the fund, and get a receipt token representing their share of the insurance fund.
Users with this insurance fund token will then get fees and payouts when the insurance fund reaches its target size (which will be set by Carbon governance).
6. Dust-to-SWTH conversion:
As $SWTH is a real-yield token, fees from every transaction are given to stakers and LPs.
Carbon's upcoming any-asset-swap enables Rewards to SWTH Conversion, turning rewards to your preferred currency, i.e. $SWTH or $USDC.
This year Carbon is optimizing liquidity across a few phases:
- Multi-Pool Linking and Routing:
Liquidity pools using the same token will now be aggregated on the orderbook instead of being independent, i.e ETH-USD and ETH-SWTH will share ETH liquidity.
- New Liquidity Mechanism:
Carbon first launched AMM-backed orderbooks. However, this still needed liquidity for an optimal trading experience.
With this new liquidity mechanism, users can supply their liquidity simultaneously across selected markets for deeper liquidity.
- Any Asset Swap:
The above feature will provide better slippage for Carbon's upcoming any-to-any asset swap.
Carbon may partner with a DEX swap aggregator for this as well.
- Grouped Tokens:
A novel DeFi primitive that combines the liquidity of a common asset (e.g. $USDC) from multiple networks into a single token, accumulating liquidity for a seamless trading experience.
The beauty of perps is that you bet up or down with leverage.
Demex supports BTC, ETH, OSMO, ATOM perps with impressive progress in volume.
They will be adding more highly-demanded perpetuals, from ATOM, GLP, LUNA and more!
12. Trading Bots:
Carbon will start with several bots, such as grid bots, which are automated trading bots that uses a grid-like structure to manage trades and achieve a profit through a large number of trades.
To improve the accessibility for users to try out Demex, there will be more on-ramp solutions coming, more wallets being integrated, more bridges and aggregators, and a more mobile-focused UIUX.
14. Gamified Trading Experience:
Demex users will be happy to know that they will soon be able to view their full transaction and PNL history on the trading platform, and will launch a shareable position feature for you to brag about your position to others on social media.
15. External LP incentives:
Currently LPs get a portion of block rewards and taker fees from trades for that market.
This will be updated to support external LP incentives to encourage more partnerships and make it easier for users to become liquid providers on Demex.
16. Strategies: Automated DeFi Vaults
Devs are launching a brand new feature called “Strategies”.
They help users to automate certain DeFi strategies on Demex. Two examples is the recent cGLP vault, and an upcoming LSD Vault.
The support for EVM-compatibility on Carbon bolsters protocol security while bringing users greater convenience through the ability to sign transactions directly from MetaMask, without having to use separate addresses, mnemonics and keys on Demex.
18. Referrals for All!
Devs are launching an on-chain referral module that allows dApps and UIs built on the blockchain (e.g. Demex) to attach a referral address and earn commission from trading fees.
0/15 $CANTO has received a lot of attention recently but I haven't seen an all-in-one thread.
So I decided to explore their ecosystem to help you understand what @CantoPublic is, how it works, and is it a ponzi?
🧵 on everything you need to know about $CANTO.
LFG! 🚀
1/ The first thing I noticed is that their website has hacker vibes which might attract degens but may turn away tradfi peeps.
On the tech, Canto is fully EVM compatible, so forking solidity dapps to Canto easy, and Canto is twice as fast as Ethereum (6s vs 12s blocktime).
2/ Canto is originally an $EVMOS fork, using Tendermint consensus and EVM execution layer via Cosmos SDK (but uses metamask).
They are a DeFi-Focused L1, similar to @SeiNetwork and @0xcarbon, as they have built-in DeFi modules, so it's easier for devs to build DeFi apps on it.
$SWTH is the governance token of @0xcarbon, which is a DeFi-focused L1 chain on Cosmos, with built-in DeFi modules like orderbooks, CDP (money markets), perpetual, flexi network fees, etc.
They are tailored for DeFi dApps, offering the best DeFi experience for users.
Dem.exchange is one such DeFi dApps currently live on the Carbon network.
It is a frontend UI for users to easily interact with Carbon's inbuilt DeFi modules.
Demex is an all-in-one DeFi hub that offers a frictionless trading experience that rivals CEXs.
Stader started with their liquid staking solutions on Terra.
After the unfortunate collapse of the chain in May 2022, the team pivoted to become multi-chain, currently supporting BSC, Near, Fantom, Hedera, and Terra 2.0.
Stader currently has a market cap of around $15 million (and growing fast!) and has a TVL of around $155 million.
However, none of this is liquid staked ETH, until now.
Stader has recently announced that they will be launching their liquid staked ETH, EthX, in March of 2023.
- Deepest liquidity stablecoin
- First inflation-pegged stablecoin
- First time-weighted AMM DEX
- First money market where you can borrow against staked ETH
- Highest yielding staked ETH APR
