Carbon is a decentralized, cross-chain financial protocol built using Cosmos-SDK.
User interfaces such as Demex can be built on top of Carbon and act as trading venues to give end users access to open financial markets and instruments.

Become a Validator: Carbon uses the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model. Anyone can become a validator and earn a myriad of tokens (on top of SWTH) while contributing to network security.
Carbon Ecosystem Grants Program: The Grants Program offers milestone-based funding for anyone interested in developing dApps on Carbon EVM.
Carbon Development Fund (CDF): The CDF is a community fund that offers funding to builders and projects within the Carbon ecosystem.
Carbon Core
Carbon Core consist of the custom-built Cosmos-SDK based modules within Carbon protocol that provide the full range of building blocks which allows anyone to bootstrap open financial markets for any asset type on any blockchain.
The docs in this section is intended for traders and developers who:
wish to query Carbon Core's blockchain information via Carbon Core APIs
wish to write applications to interact with Carbon Core or dApps built on Carbon Core programatically
For more details on the capabilities that Carbon Core provides, check out the user guide.
Carbon EVM
Carbon EVM is the EVM-compatible module of the Carbon blockchain that serves as the entry point between the EVM contracts and Carbon Core.
Following this documentation, you can learn how to build a dApp on Carbon EVM and become part of the rich ecosystem of EVM builders on Carbon.
This docs in this section is intended for developers who:
wish to interact with Carbon EVM via Carbon EVM APIs
wish to deploy and port an existing EVM smart contract from another chain
wish to build new use cases on Carbon EVM
Node Operators
By operating a Carbon node, you can run your application entirely within your own infrastructure.
Operating a Carbon node also allows you to become a Carbon validator, which helps secure the network. Carbon validators can earn from block rewards as a reward for their work done.
