Protocol Arbitrage

The Carbon arbitrage framework, powered by Fast Lane, continues to earn fees for the protocol while enabling efficient strategy execution. The Fast Lane recorded its largest daily protocol earnings to date on June 14th (2,658 BNT). Recent gas optimizations are expected to further improve arb efficiency.

DEX Aggregators

Aside from Carbon’s existing integration with OpenOcean, a number of integrations with leading DEX aggregators are in the works and expected soon, so stay tuned!


Governance

There is a proposal in Bancor governance to create a protocol-owned strategy on Carbon valued at roughly $4–5 million using protocol-owned liquidity. The BancorDAO is currently discussing how to create the strategy and which token pair to create the strategy with. DAO participants have proposed using a stablecoin/stablecoin recurring strategy (e.g., USDC/USDT) or an ETH-LST/ETH-LST recurring strategy (e.g., rETH/wstETH) due to these token pairs trading in relatively predictable ranges and requiring minimal maintenance by the DAO.
