Range orders allow traders to buy or sell progressively across a custom price range. However, most existing methods require users to create a series of separate limit orders or use a concentrated liquidity position that can reverse when the market changes direction.

This article gives a high-level overview of current range order mechanisms, their tradeoffs, and Carbon DeFi’s solution for range orders.

True DEX Range Orders: Carbon DeFi vs. Existing Solutions Carbon DeFi is an advanced onchain trading protocol enabling automated limit orders, efficiently adjustable w/ custom price ranges, grid trading like recurring orders, works like a DEX trading bot.

Building an orderbook-style DEX doesn’t have to mean developing the underlying exchange infrastructure from scratch. Bancor licenses the smart contracts powering Carbon DeFi as a turnkey DEX system.

Licensees can deploy the technology under their own brand, with:

→ Asymmetric liquidity

→ Adjustable bonding curves

→ Automated Recurring Limit Orders

→ Irreversible Range Orders

→ Chainwide arbitrage and order fulfillment through a built-in solver system

→ Access to future releases and updates

Each deployment remains independently managed and controlled by the licensee.

Institutions assessing onchain market infrastructure should separate tokenization from ex*****on.

Tokenization determines how an asset is represented and transferred onchain. It doesn’t determine how that asset will be priced, offered for sale or purchased in the secondary market.

The design of the exchange is important.

Carbon DeFi allows each participant to create an individual trading position rather than deposit liquidity into a shared pool.

The position can reflect that participant’s personal valuation, position size, and objective without being bound to the pricing constraints of a shared AMM curve.

For institutions and RWA issuers, this introduces several useful capabilities:

• Exact pricing: Makers define the price at which they’re willing to transact. The order executes on those terms, providing certainty over the amount received.

• One-directional liquidity: An issuer or holder can offer an asset for sale without having to buy it back should the market retrade.

• Limit and Range Orders: An asset can be offered at one exact price or distributed progressively across a custom price range.

• No expiry: Positions remain available until they’re filled, paused or canceled.

• Individual on-the-fly control: Prices, budgets and strategy parameters can be adjusted onchain without withdrawing the position and rebuilding it.

• Zero external dependencies: Carbon DeFi does not rely on oracles, keepers, hooks, or other third-party dependencies.

• Access to broader liquidity: Carbon DeFi’s built-in solver helps orders get discovered and filled using liquidity from major DEXs chainwide, rather than relying only on activity native to one isolated venue.

Carbon DeFi provides a way to make tokenized assets available onchain under precise, predefined ex*****on terms.

Use Carbon DeFi directly or license the underlying technology for a dedicated, white-labeled deployment.

Private credit exposed a blind spot in DeFi liquidity design. Traditional AMMs are designed around continuous two-sided markets. Private-credit positions are sparse, asynchronous and usually held until maturity. When a holder does need to exit, they may only need one trade in one direction.

Carbon DeFi supports that with native one-directional Limit and Range Orders. The holder sets the price, makes the position available and waits for a buyer.

Not constant, forced liquidity. Intentional liquidity.

While team allocations are necessary for funding operations, they’re usually just seen as sell pressure and frowned upon by the community.

Selling a large allocation at once can certainly shock the market. And selling gradually can mean repeated transactions, ongoing multisig coordination, and inconsistent ex*****on with slippage and sandwich attacks.

There's a better way.

A Range Order on Carbon DeFi allows a project to create a one-directional sell strategy paired against any standard ERC-20 token and funded with only its own token.

The position sells progressively as the market moves through a predefined price range, selling into existing demand rather than overwhelming it.

Team tokens can fund operations without the process becoming messy or inefficient.

Instead, they can become transparent, project-owned liquidity governed by predefined rules and precise ex*****on terms.

The market moves faster than you ever will.

While most in crypto are chasing candles, reacting to noise, and trying to time the market, Carbon DeFi users are defining their trading strategies before the market makes its move.

Preset the price, range, and budget using Limit, Range, or Recurring Orders. Orders are adjustable onchain and have no expiry, remaining open until they’re filled, paused, or cancelled.

👉 Limit Buy / Limit Sell
Define an exact price to buy or sell and your trade only executes at that price.

👉 Range Buy
Accumulate progressively through a custom price range instead of trying to time every dip.

👉 Range Sell
Scale out of a position as price enters your pre-defined price range.

👉 Recurring Limit or Range
Link separate buy and sell orders so tokens acquired through one automatically become available in the other. The cycle repeats within your predefined prices and custom spread.

Define your strategy in advance and let your terms determine how the trade executes.
