This article introduces how to make tokens tradable on the Carbon DeFi platform, serving as a reference for token project teams. Carbon DeFi is a fully permissionless protocol that allows anyone to create token trading markets without the need for listing or approval. The article details two liquidity strategies: full-range liquidity (similar to Uniswap v2, supporting trades at any price) and concentrated liquidity (similar to Uniswap v3, providing deep liquidity within specific price ranges to reduce slippage).

The operational steps include:
1. Visit CarbonDeFi.xyz/trade and connect your wallet.
2. Create a token trading pair by importing the token contract address.
3. Select the type of concentrated liquidity strategy.
4. Set the price range or choose full-range liquidity.
5. Set the fee tier, balancing trading frequency and earnings.
6. Set the capital budget; the system automatically calculates the amount of paired tokens.
7. Launch the strategy to list the token for trading.

Additionally, users can edit strategies at any time and monitor trading history via the activity tracker. Project teams can also apply for promotion on the Carbon DeFi platform by filling out a cooperative marketing form. Carbon DeFi is supported by Bancor products and DAO governance.

Carbon DeFi does everything an AMM can do (and then some). </em></strong><em>It’s a </em><strong><em>fully permissionless protocol, </em></strong><em>allowing anyone to create a market for their&nbsp;token.</em></p><p>This happens in two ways — both of which are simple to create directly from <a href="http://carbondefi.xyz/trade">CarbonDeFi.xyz/trade</a>.</p><p>✅ <strong>Full-Range Liquidity</strong> — great for making your token tradable at any&nbsp;price</p><p>✅ <strong>Concentrated Liquidity</strong> — great for providing tight, efficient markets</p><h3>🌊 Understanding Your Liquidity Options</h3><p>Carbon DeFi gives token projects two easy ways to make tokens tradable — without any special permissions or technical steps.</p><h4>💦 What Is Full-Range Liquidity?</h4><p>Full-range liquidity makes your token tradable at <strong>any price</strong> — from zero to infinity.</p><p>Think of it like <strong>creating a liquidity pool</strong> similar to the way one would on a <strong>Uniswap v2-style AMM</strong>: trades can happen no matter the price, and anyone can buy or&nbsp;sell.</p><p><em>This is great for your tokens price discovery, and the easiest way to get your token live and visible&nbsp;onchain.</em></p><h4>💧What Is Concentrated Liquidity?</h4><p>Concentrated liquidity allows you to focus your funds within a <strong>specific price&nbsp;range</strong>.</p><p>Instead of spreading capital across every possible price, you only make it available where you expect trades to happen — <strong>similar to how one would on a Uniswap v3-style&nbsp;AMM</strong>.</p><p><em>This approach creates deeper liquidity within your chosen price range and helps reduce slippage for spot&nbsp;trades.</em></p><h3>Step 1: Visit CarbonDeFi.xyz/trade</h3><p>Head to the <a href="https://www.carbondefi.xyz/trade">Carbon DeFi Trade page</a>, connect your wallet, and make sure you’re on the correct network to get&nbsp;started.</p><p>For this tutorial, I’ll be using <a href="http://coti.carbondefi.xyz/trade">Carbon DeFi on the COTI blockchain</a> as the&nbsp;example.</p><h3>Step 2: Create Your Token&nbsp;Pair</h3><p><strong>Select the ‘Buy or Sell’ token dropdown.</strong></p><img src="https://static.sosovalue.com/sosovalue/2025/05/06/005d1ce0-1b5e-4555-97f3-9f1088aaafae.png"><p><strong>Paste your token’s contract address and import your&nbsp;token.</strong></p><img src="https://static.sosovalue.com/sosovalue/2025/05/06/1676dcf8-dbd4-4547-b7ca-ba8fdbcb37fe.png"><p>After importing, select a token (like COTI or USDC.e) to pair your token&nbsp;with.</p><h3>Step 3.

To create a <strong>Full Range</strong> liquidity position, select full range.

Carbon DeFi will automatically calculate how much of the paired token you’ll&nbsp;need.</p><img src="https://static.sosovalue.com/sosovalue/2025/05/06/ae4345ff-7bb8-4572-8b68-a0bda83cb357.png"><h3><strong>Step 7: Go Live and Let the Trading Begin&nbsp;🎉</strong></h3><p>Launch the strategy — your token is now live and tradable.</p><p>Once active, your strategy is published onchain and becomes visible to traders through the <a href="http://carbondefi.xyz/explore">Carbon DeFi&nbsp;UI</a>.</p><h3>Follow Your Trades and Adjust&nbsp;Anytime</h3><p>Once live, Carbon DeFi makes it easy to stay on top of your position straight from the Portfolio page.</p><h4>✏️ Edit Your&nbsp;Position</h4><p>Need to adjust your strategy?
