Big news for DeFi on COTI: USDC.e is now live on Carbon DeFi!
Users can now buy, sell, and provide liquidity with a stablecoin — unlocking new opportunities and trading possibilities on COTI’s growing L2 ecosystem.
If you’re new to Carbon DeFi, or DeFi in general, don’t worry — getting started is easy. Just follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Go to Coti.CarbonDeFi.xyz/trade
This is the dedicated Carbon DeFi deployment on COTI.
Step 2: Connect your wallet and be sure you’re on the COTI network
Click “Connect” in the upper right corner, select your wallet, and make sure it’s set to the correct network.
Step 3: Select your token pair
Choose the token you want to buy or sell.
In this example, select USDC.e.
Once you’ve selected your tokens, it’s time to choose how you want to trade.
Trading Strategies
Whether you’re placing precise trades, setting up automated strategies, or just swapping quickly, Carbon DeFi makes it easy to trade your way.
1. Limit Orders — Set Your Price
Example: Buy COTI with USDC.e if it dips to $0.06
With Limit Orders, you’re in full control, just set a specific price at which you want to buy or sell. Your order only executes when the market reaches your target — and with all order types on Carbon DeFi you have zero slippage, no trading fees, and MEV sandwich attack immunity.
2. Range Orders — Buy or Sell Within a Custom Range
Example: Gradually buy COTI starting at $0.08 down through $0.06 — without manually managing each trade.
Timing a perfect trade is hard — Range Orders let you set a minimum and maximum price, and Carbon DeFi will gradually buy or sell as the market moves through it. This reduces risk of missing trades completely, and smooths out your entry or exit.
3. Recurring Orders — Automate Buy Low, Sell High
Example: Set a strategy to buy COTI at $0.06 and sell at $0.10 — and let it repeat over and over on its own.
Is COTI ranging? Wouldn’t it be nice to create an automated buy low, sell high trading strategy, and stop constantly watching the charts? This is exactly what Recurring Orders empower you to do.
Recurring Orders link a buy order with a sell order, creating a loop that automatically cycles funds between the two. As one side fills, Carbon DeFi recycles the liquidity to the other, so your trading continues — hands-free.
💡 Pro Tips
Recurring Orders can be any combination of Limit and Range Orders.
You bridged your USDC.e, but don’t have COTI yet? No problem, only one side of a Recurring Order needs to be funded.
4. Concentrated Liquidity — Buy and Sell Within a Range
Example: Provide COTI/USDC.e liquidity between $0.06 and $0.10 — and earn fees every time it trades.
With Concentrated Liquidity strategies on Carbon DeFi, you set a price range and a custom fee tier — earning fees on every trade within that range. Carbon DeFi automatically compounds your fees earned back into the strategy.
5. Full Range Liquidity — Zero to Infinity
Just like Concentrated Liquidity, you’ll earn fees on every trade — and Carbon DeFi automatically compounds those earnings back into your position.
Prefer to stay active across the entire market? Full Range Liquidity lets you provide liquidity across all price levels — from zero to infinity. Your strategy is always live, always available to trade, no matter where the market moves.
6. Spot Trade — Swap Instantly
Looking for a simple, fast swap?
Trading spot lets you buy or sell at the current market price — just like a traditional AMM— perfect for quick trades or stablecoin conversions.
💡 Pro Tip
Create a limit order at the current market price rather than trading spot. This ensures price certainty- the price you set is the price you get, guaranteed.
