Get out of the reactive role of a taker and step into the empowered position of a market maker.
Taker: Someone who “takes” from the market, accepting the price provided to them, usually by swapping assets on an AMM.
Maker: Someone who “makes” the market, providing their funds for others to take at prices they determine.
On Carbon DeFi by Bancor, this shift offers significant advantages over being a taker — advantages that AMMs simply can’t match.
Carbon DeFi is NOT an AMM, nor is it your typical DEX. Bancor went back to the drawing board for all the reasons we’ve discussed, creating an entirely new model for on-chain trading — one where you truly control your trades, and the protocol works with you, not against you.
Powered by Bancor’s latest innovation — asymmetric liquidity — this model eliminates all the limitations and risks inherent to AMMs, without relying on “band-aid fixes” or third-party dependencies. It’s specifically designed to not just help you transition from taker to maker, but to help you thrive as one.
- Price Certainty: Get exactly the price you set — no surprises, no compromises, no AMM deciding your prices for you.
- Immune to MEV Sandwich Attacks: Carbon DeFi is not an AMM, and its architecture makes sandwich attacks a thing of the past. You’re not just protected; you’re IMMUNE. (For the more technical, see the research by Bancor Project Lead, Dr. Mark Richardson, here.)
- Chain-Wide Liquidity: Trade against the blockchain’s collective liquidity at NO ADDITIONAL COST with the built-in Arb Fast Lane.
- Zero Protocol Fees: While others are charging upwards of 25 bps per swap, Carbon DeFi has ZERO protocol fees for makers.
- Pre-set Swaps: Say goodbye to constantly monitoring the market. Set your desired price, and let your trades execute automatically– no need to react to every market shift.
