18:01 Introduction to Carbon Protocol and DMX

What is Carbon Protocol?

• 18:01Carbon Protocol is a layer one chain on the Cosmos network.
• It focuses on DeFi activities such as trading and has various DeFi modules baked into the chain.
• The platform uses CosmWasm SDK for smart contract development.

What is DMX?

• 18:22DMX is a front-end tool built on top of Carbon Protocol.
• It provides an easy-to-use UI similar to centralized exchanges for interacting with smart contracts.
• Users can access all of the DeFi functions available on Carbon through DMX.

19:58 Simplified Explanation of Carbon and DMX

Analogy: Car Engine and Car

• 19:58Carbon can be compared to a car engine - it's sophisticated technology that powers everything but isn't visible or touchable without special knowledge (programming language).
• DMX can be compared to a car - it's built on top of Carbon and anyone can use it without needing to understand the underlying technology.

21:00 Integration with EVMOS Chain

Use Cases Enabled by Integration

• 21:31Carbon can now accept tokens from EVMOS Chain through IBC.
• Users can participate in lending and borrowing markets using their EVMOS tokens on Carbon.
• Lending out idle EVMOS tokens can earn users yield, similar to how money is lent out to banks or governments for interest.
• The APY for lending EVMOS tokens on Carbon is currently high at 91% according to the app.dam.change nitron website.

23:17 Understanding the Use Cases of FMOS Token

Earning Yield with FMOS Token

• 23:17FMOS token can be used to earn yield by lending it out.
• The yield is not fixed and fluctuates depending on how many people are borrowing or lending it.

Borrowing Against FMOS Token

• 23:37FMOS token can also be used as collateral to borrow against it.
• The loan-to-value ratio is about 25%, which means that if you have $100k worth of FMOS, you can borrow up to $25k worth of other assets.
• This allows users to unlock capital from their existing holdings.

Partnering with Strike Zone

• 24:21Carbon has partnered with Strike Zone to create SDFMOS, a yield-bearing asset that takes all of the FMOS staking rewards and puts them back into SDFMOS.
• Users can borrow against SDFMOS and benefit from the appreciation in value over time.

25:32 Getting Started with Carbon

Signing Up for Carbon

• 25:32Users can sign up for Carbon by going to dn.exchange or dem.exchange.
• They can sign in using their Kepler wallet or Metamask if they are coming from an EVM network like Ethereum or Binance.

Depositing Funds into Carbon

• 27:03Once signed in, users can deposit funds into Carbon by selecting FMOS or XTRA USDC on the deposit page.
• There is no KYC or registration required to use Carbon.

28:59 D5 Activities

Leverage Trades

• Users can make leverage trades on various different tokens.
• This is one of the more exciting parts of D5 activities.

29:16 Reminder to Do Your Own Research

Risks Involved

• Using any sort of DeFi use case carries risks.
• The audience is encouraged to do their own research before using any products.
• Just because speakers are brought on does not mean it's a formal endorsement by the core team.

29:40 Carbon Integration with Atmos

Fmos Collateral Deposit

• Carbon is in talks with fmos to incentivize collateral deposit for lending.
• They want more of the fmos community to be earning additional yield when they deposit efforts onto the platform.
• Hopefully, additional incentives will cover and be higher than staking rewards of fmos so that it makes sense for people to deposit rather than stake it.
• They are discussing this proposal and hopefully there will be fruitful discussions.

30:23 Governance Calls and Proposal Drafting

Governance Calls

• The core team is less involved with governance calls which are run by Dow every Thursday.
• It'll certainly be interesting to bring up the incentive proposal before them.
• The audience is encouraged to participate in governance calls.

Draft Proposal

• Carbon is still in the beginning of a casual conversation just to explore what it's going to be like.
• Once they have more details from both teams, they'll probably proceed to doing a governance proposal that can be discussed from there.
