Carbon

How to Participate in the Carbon Airdrop

Step 1: Check Your Perps Score

Go to the Carbon momentum page and link your wallet. Slice will automatically look at your on-chain trading history and show you your Perps Score, instant points allocation, and Season 1 boost multiplier.

Step 2: Prepare Your Wallet and Assets

Ensure you have a Web3 wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect compatible) funded with USDC or another supported asset on Arbitrum. If you don’t have the assets, you can purchase them from Binance and bridge to Arbitrum using Rhino Bridge.

Step 3: Complete the Volume Requirement

To unlock your Momentum rewards, complete a minimum trading volume on Carbon:

• Minimum requirement: $1,000 in trading volume
• Maximum requirement: $50,000 (scales with reward size)

If you have existing all-time volume on Carbon or IntentX, it counts toward this threshold — you may be able to claim immediately.

Step 4: Trade Perpetual Contracts

Go to the trade section and start trading. Choose from over 550 pairs, set your leverage (up to 75x), and make trades. You get points for every trade, and your Season 1 multiplier makes them worth more.

Step 5: Generate and Share Your Referral Link

Navigate to your profile and generate a referral link. Share it to earn 20% of all points your referrals accumulate. Referred users also receive a 10% bonus on their points.

Step 6: Monitor Fee Rebates and Points

On the Momentum dashboard, you can see how many points and trades you have made. Based on your 30-day volume rank, you can get fee rebates of up to 60%. The more volume you have, the bigger the rebate you get.

Tips for Maximizing Carbon Points

Claim Your Perps Score Early: The Momentum Program gives rewards for activity on more than 30 protocols. Connect your wallet now. Your trading history will give you points and a boost multiplier that you can use all season long.

Prioritize Consistent Volume Over Single Large Trades: Every trade adds points to your total. Regular activity builds up faster over time than sporadic big positions, especially when there is an active boost multiplier.

Watch for CLP Vault Launch: The next CLP Vaults, which will target 20–40%+ APR, will probably add more points mechanics for liquidity providers. Get in early when they launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Invest Money to Earn Carbon Points?

Yes, you need to trade at least $1,000 on Carbon in order to unlock Momentum rewards. Depending on your rewards tier, the volume requirements go up to $50,000. People who already use Carbon and IntentX may already meet the standard.

How Is My Perps Score Calculated?

Slice Analytics uses trading history from more than 30 protocols, such as Hyperliquid, GMX, Synthetix, and others, to figure out your Perps Score. It takes into account volume, activity patterns, recency, and behavioral signals. It’s not a simple 1:1 volume figure.

What Happens If I Missed Earlier Carbon or IntentX Activity?

People who have used IntentX before and people who are currently trading Carbon get extra boosts based on their past activity on the platform. New users can still qualify based on their trading history on other eligible perp protocols.

Conclusion

Carbon’s Momentum Program is one of the more unique points campaigns in the Arbitrum ecosystem because it rewards trading history you’ve already built instead of making you start from scratch. There hasn’t been any announcement about a token yet, so getting involved early puts you ahead of any possible future distribution.
