Carbon DeFi Strategy Explainers — Limit Orders
Decentralized trading has come a long way from the early days of pool-based swaps and unpredictable execution. With Carbon DeFi’s advanced onchain order types, you can now take full control of your trades — starting with the simplest and most common: the Limit Order.
This guide walks you through how — and why — to create Limit Orders on Carbon DeFi.
What Is a Limit Order?
A Limit Order allows you to buy or sell a token at a specific price. Unlike AMMs (Automated Market Makers), where trade outcomes are dictated by the protocol, Carbon DeFi is an orderbook-style DEX that lets you define the exact price you want — and your trade only executes if that price is met. This means zero slippage and 100% price certainty.
Why Use a Limit Order on Carbon DeFi?
If you’re used to trading on AMMs, you’re probably used to hitting “swap” and hoping for a decent price. But that approach often gives you minimal control — and exposes you to MEV sandwich attacks, which you’re immune to when placing orders on Carbon DeFi.
With Carbon DeFi’s Limit Orders, you can:
Set the exact price to buy or sell — the price you quote is the amount you receive. Period.
Adjust your price or budget anytime — with full onchain flexibility
Pay zero fees — no trading, protocol, or network fees on filled orders
Trade any two ERC20 tokens — no need to rely on predefined pairs
Benefit from order-to-order fulfillment — powered by Carbon DeFi’s integrated solver
When Should You Use It?
Buying the dip: Think that token’s retracing 20%? Pre-set your buy order and step away from the screen.
Selling into a pump: Expecting BTC to hit $150k? Set a sell order now and let the market do the work.
Becoming the maker: Ditch high fees, dodge MEV sandwich attacks, and take control with zero slippage.
