Carbon DeFi: Onchain Orders in Telegram

A basic swap on a decentralized exchange is a here and now affair: you tap a button and take the current rate. Carbon DeFi adds what classic trading venues have: orders at a price you choose and strategies that repeat. And you can open it from Telegram. 📊

The app is a mini app for the TON network and is tied to a protocol that runs onchain, meaning directly on a blockchain.

The order types on offer

The protocol has several strategy types. Each one is executed by smart contracts, not by an intermediary.

• Limit order. Buy or sell at one set price.
• Range order. Spread buys or sells across a price band so you scale in or out of a position gradually.
• Recurring order. A pair of orders that buys low and sells high over and over at a spread you set.
• Liquidity. Positions with auto-compounding fees and an adjustable range.

You can edit a strategy without closing and rebuilding it, which saves network fees. 🔧

What zero slippage means

In a normal swap, the price can move while your trade goes through. The protocol states that the price in your order is the price you receive. It also says orders are protected from sandwich attacks, where a bot squeezes in around your trade and profits from the gap.

That is a strength of the design, but it does not remove market risk. If the asset falls below your buy price, you sit on a loss.

A simulator before the first trade

The protocol has a strategy simulator that tests an idea against real historical data. It shows how your range would have behaved in the past.

Keep in mind that a backtest describes history. It does not promise anything about the next market move. 🧪

The Telegram and TON link

The protocol went live on TAC, a network that connects Ethereum ecosystem apps to TON and Telegram. Through it, Telegram users can reach services like Carbon DeFi. The team ran a rewards program for liquidity in some pairs: a strategy had to sit near the market price and keep trading.

Reward sizes and the list of pairs change, so do not plan income around them.

A cautious way in

1. Confirm you opened the official app and not a copy, and match the link against the project's website.
2. Start with a small amount and one simple strategy, such as a limit order.
3. Read what you pay to create a strategy and per transaction.
4. Work out what you end up holding if the price goes against you.

Never share a wallet seed phrase and never sign a transaction you do not recognize. 🔐

The main risks

Smart contracts can hold bugs even after audits. Liquidity in a narrow range can end up fully in one asset if the market moves sharply. A token price can fall, and liquidity rewards will not cover the loss.

This is for people who understand orders, spreads and liquidity. If you are new, learn the basics first and do not put in money you cannot afford to lose. ⚠️
