As a participant in the Mantle Journey Season Alpha campaign and in recognition of their involvement, Velocimeter received rewards in the form of MNT, the native token for Mantle Network.
Now, they’re passing on these rewards to users, incentivizing trading in specific pairs through their own campaign: ‘Increasing the Velocity of Graphene’.
Details for the current weekly rewards on Graphene, taken from their recent publication:
“20,000 wMNT will be used to incentivize users that create any Graphene Strategies with volume for the wETH/USDT and wMNT/wETH pairs.
These tokens will be evenly distributed from May 1st to June 26th (1250 wMNT / week / pool). During this time, these will also get oMVM votes and incentives.”
For a better understanding and important factors regarding the rewards program, please refer to another of Velocimeter’s recent publications, the Graphene Rewarder.
Trade on Mantle Using Bancor’s Orderbook-like Technology
Carbon DeFi surpasses traditional AMMs by not only matching all their capabilities but by introducing additional features not typically found in standard AMMs, all seamlessly integrated within the protocol. This includes:
Native Onchain Limit Orders
Novel Range Orders
Auto Buy Low, Sell High with 24/7 Trading Bot
Next-Gen Concentrated Liquidity
Native Onchain Limit Orders
Similar to a limit order on a centralized exchange, users of Carbon DeFi are able to determine the exact price they want to buy or sell a token. No hooks or plug-ins required, eliminating any third party dependencies and unnecessary security risks.

Range Orders
While everyone hopes to call the exact top or bottom, experienced traders know this is pretty much impossible. Instead, they scale in or out of a position by facilitating trades within certain price parameters.
On DEXes, users are setting notifications, hoping they’re near their ledger, and spot trading– incurring fees, slippage, and risk of sandwich attacks.
On CEXes, they’re placing dozen of limit orders to mimic a range.
On Carbon DeFi, you’re simply specifying the parameters of your range, funding ONE order, and the protocol automatically handles the rest.

Recurring Orders
Here’s where it really gets interesting. A recurring order:
creates an automated, and repeating, “buy low, sell high” cycle.
consists of a linked buy and sell order, such as limit-limit, range-limit, limit-range, or range-range, each with custom price points determined only by the strategy maker.
Once an order is filled, acquired funds automatically rotate to fund the opposite order.
Does not require both sides be funded, allowing you to create an order with funds you don’t yet have.
One of the best parts? There are no protocol fees, and anytime an order is filled on Carbon DeFi, it’s at ZERO cost to the strategy maker. No network gas fees, no trading fees. The rotating liquidity, the autocompounding, it’s all free for makers.
Strategy makers only pay a network gas fee to create a strategy, and to adjust it. Yes, they’re adjustable too; I’ll get to that in a minute.

Overlapping Liquidity
Prefer concentrated liquidity? Carbon DeFi may not be an AMM, but it offers everything an AMM does, including concentrated liquidity positions. Overlapping liquidity empowers users to create concentrated positions, only without the traditional limitations, including:
Three main differences:
Autocompounding Profits
Custom Spread AKA Fee Tier– Your profit is no longer limited by the protocol, at least not on Carbon DeFi. You now have the power to set your own spread, personalizing your position to match your own risk and reward profile.
Zero Tick Constraints– You should decide when your tokens trade, not the other way around. By determining your own range on Carbon DeFi, you’re able to do just that.
