Carbon
Carbon is a decentralized perpetuals exchange (Perp DEX) operating on Arbitrum that provides access to over 550 trading pairs, spanning crypto, tokenized stocks, forex, indices, and commodities, with leverage up to 75x and zero trading fees for users.
Task Description
Carbon has not officially confirmed a native token launch or airdrop. However, the platform is actively running the Momentum Program, a points-based incentive system that rewards traders based on their historical and ongoing activity. Points earned in this program are expected to serve as eligibility and allocation criteria for any future token distribution.
Key Parameters:
- Points Program: Momentum Program (live)
- Referral Bonus: Referrers earn 20% of referred users’ points; referred users receive a 10% bonus
- Fee Rebates: Up to 60% based on 30-day trading volume and leaderboard rank
The Momentum Program leverages Slice Analytics to calculate a Perps Score for each wallet. This score analyzes historical trading activity across more than 30 on-chain perpetuals exchanges, including Hyperliquid, Lighter, Variational, Paradex, Synthetix, GMX, Gains Network, Avantis, and others.
The Perps Score instantly assigns a base allocation of 0–10,000 points and applies a Season 1 boost multiplier (up to 100%) to all future points earned on Carbon. This retroactive scoring rewards past activity while incentivizing ongoing usage.
Conditions
Step 1
Check Your Perps Score Visit the Carbon Momentum page and connect your wallet. Slice Analytics will automatically scan your on-chain trading history across 30+ perpetuals platforms, displaying your Perps Score, instant points allocation (0–10,000), and Season 1 boost multiplier (up to 100%).
Step 2
Prepare Wallet & Assets Use a Web3 wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect compatible) funded with USDC or other supported assets on Arbitrum. If needed, buy assets on Binance and bridge to Arbitrum via Rhino Bridge. This funds your trades and qualifies you for points and rebates.
Step 3
Meet the Volume Requirement To unlock full Momentum rewards, achieve the minimum trading volume on Carbon:
- Minimum: $1,000 in trading volume
- Maximum: $50,000 (higher volume scales reward size) Existing all-time volume from Carbon or IntentX counts toward this threshold, you may qualify to claim immediately without additional trading.
Step 4
Trade Perpetual Contracts Head to the trade section and start executing trades across 550+ pairs with leverage up to 75x. Every trade earns points, amplified by your Season 1 boost multiplier for higher efficiency.
Step 5
Generate Referral Link & Monitor Rewards Go to your profile to create your referral link and share it—earn 20% of all points your referrals accumulate, while they get a 10% bonus on their points. On the Momentum dashboard, track your total points, trade history, and 30-day volume rank for fee rebates of up to 60% (higher rank = bigger rebate).

Slice Analytics analyzes your trading history from over 30 protocols (Hyperliquid, GMX, Synthetix, and others), factoring in volume, activity patterns, recency, and behavioral signals. It is not a simple 1:1 volume calculation, it evaluates overall engagement to assign your score and boost.
Users with prior activity on Carbon or IntentX receive extra boosts based on that history. New users can still qualify fully by leveraging their trading history on other eligible perp protocols, your Perps Score pulls from the broader ecosystem.
