The System, End to End

Seven layers. One platform.

Tap any tab below to explore the system. From the exchange you connect to the wallet system you earn in, it's all here. Built from the official Karbon V4 documentation.

01
The Foundation · Exchanges
Your exchange.
Where your money actually lives — Bybit or Bitget.

Karbon does not hold your funds. Your trading capital stays in your own Bybit or Bitget account, in a subaccount you create specifically for Karbon. Karbon connects to that subaccount via API — it can execute trades, but it cannot withdraw or move funds outside that subaccount.

Supported
Bybit
Recommended exchange. Full integration with Karbon V4 from day one. Sign up by email or phone. Enable 2FA. Create a Standard Subaccount specifically for Karbon.
Live · Recommended
Supported
Bitget
Also fully supported. Sign up by email or phone. Karbon requires Single Asset Mode — Multi-Asset Mode breaks isolated margin.
Live
Planned
Binance
Integration is planned for the near future per Karbon V4 documentation. Not yet available — no confirmed date.

Why subaccounts? A subaccount isolates the funds allocated for Karbon trading from the rest of the exchange account. If anything goes wrong, only that subaccount is affected.
02
The Bridge · API + Account
The connection.
API key, IP whitelist, and the Karbon account that ties them together.

An API key is the bridge between the exchange subaccount and Karbon. It tells the exchange "this third party can trade, but cannot withdraw funds." Karbon then creates a V4 account that holds the API credentials and settings.

  • 01
    Create the subaccount on the exchange
    In Bybit: Profile → Subaccounts → Create. Standard type. Name without spaces.
  • 02
    Generate the API key
    Inside the subaccount: API Management → Create New Key → System-Generated. Configure permissions for trading (no withdrawal access).
  • 03
    Whitelist Karbon\'s IP
    Add the IP address Karbon provides. Prevents anyone else from using the key even if it leaks.
  • 04
    Fund the subaccount with USDT
    Transfer USDT from the main account to the derivative account of the subaccount. Karbon trades in USDT pairs.
  • 05
    Create a Karbon V4 account
    In Karbon: Select account mode and exchange. Enter account name, passphrase, API key, secret key. Karbon validates the connection.
03
The Choice · KAAT vs Infinity
KAAT or Infinity.
Two account types. High control or fully automated.

When creating a Karbon V4 account you pick one of two models. The difference is how much control you want over your trading.

High Control
KAAT

The Engine · How Trades Fire
How trades fire.
Three modes determine what triggers an actual trade.

A V4 account isn\'t trading until something triggers a signal. There are three ways to wire that up — from fully Karbon-curated to fully your own.

Mode 1 · Admin-driven
AI Trading Algorithms
Strategies built and triggered by the Karbon admin team. Users subscribe to preferred algorithms. Gated by user type.
Mode 2 · Open subscription
Auto TV Alerts
Admin-defined strategies driven by TradingView. All users can subscribe — no restrictions.
Mode 3 · Self-managed
Manual TV Alerts
Bring your own TradingView strategies. Webhook URL + message body. When TV fires, Karbon executes.
05
The Control · Money Management
Money management.
8 stage types · classic or split mode · hedge cycles · trailing TP.

Once a trade opens, what happens next? Money management is the rulebook. Define stages that trigger when the trade\'s PnL hits a target. Stack stages to build sophisticated entry, exit, hedge, and re-entry behaviors.

The 8 Stage Action Types
Stage 01
Close Trade
Take profit (or cut loss) on a chunk of the position.
What it does
Closes a specified % of the open trade when P&L hits the target.
Example — Close 100% at +20% P&L → profit hits balance.
Stage 02
Change Leverage
Crank leverage up or down on the fly.
What it does
Modifies leverage multiplier without closing the trade.
Example — At +20% P&L → switch to Isolated 13x.
Stage 03
Change Leverage Type
Switch between Cross and Isolated margin.
What it does
Flips between Cross and Isolated. Same trade, different margin behavior.
Example — At −10% P&L → flip to Isolated to ring-fence the loss.
Stage 04
Repurchase (Double Down)
Add to the position when underwater.
What it does
Buys more at the worse price, lowering average entry. Classic dollar-cost-averaging.
Example — At −5% P&L → add 13% more. Average entry drops, bounce hits profit sooner.
Stage 05
Reopen Trade
After close, automatically open a new trade.
What it does
Triggers a new Long or Short based on the previous trade\'s P&L. Builds looping strategies.
Example — Trade closes +20% → Reopen fires the next Long.
Stage 06
Convert to Hedge
Open opposite side instead of closing.
What it does
Opens a trade on the opposite side, holding both Long and Short — fully hedged.
Example — Long ETH at −10% → open Short of equivalent size; loss frozen.
Stage 07
Reopen Another Account
Trigger a trade on a different Karbon account.
What it does
Fires the next trade in a different V4 account. Cascade strategies across accounts.
Example — Account 1 ETH closes +20% → Account 2 fires BTC Short.
Stage 08
Close All Hedge + Trailing TP
Wind down a hedge OR ride a winner.
What it does
Closes both sides of a hedge at once. Or: trailing TP that moves up as price rises, locking in gains.
Example — Long BTC $50K with 5% trailing TP. Price runs to $60K → TP moves to $57K. Retrace to $57K → auto-close.

The Economy · Wallet System
The wallet system.
Trading Wallet · Holding Wallet · Staking Wallet · USDC ↔ KBNX.

Karbon uses a multi-wallet system to separate trading, holdings, and staking. Each wallet plays a different role.

Wallet 1
Trading Wallet
Swap USDC ↔ KBNX, manage trading-related balances, pay for KAAT trade execution. Direct MetaMask integration on Polygon.
Wallet 2
Holding Wallet
Long-term storage for KBNX tokens outside the active trading and staking pools.
Wallet 3
Staking Wallet
KBNX tokens here participate in the staking pool. See the next tab for the full deep-dive.
Want the full staking deep-dive? See the next tab — Staking · KBNX Passive Income — for how the staking pool works and what to expect.
07
The Staking System · KBNX Passive Income
Earn while you hold.
Stake KBNX → share in the trading fees → withdraw rewards as USDC. Every 24 hours.

KBNX staking is Karbon\'s way of letting token holders earn passive income from the platform\'s success. When members trade on Karbon, the system collects fees. A portion of those fees gets paid out daily to anyone who has staked their KBNX tokens.

The Core Idea
Hold KBNX tokens → stake them in the Karbon staking pool → the platform shares a portion of its trading fee revenue → collect USDC rewards every 24 hours.
How It Works — 5 Steps
  • 01
    Stake KBNX from the Wallet page
    Click Stake, enter the amount, confirm. KBNX moves from the Trading Wallet into the staking pool.
  • 02
    Tokens join the Karbon staking pool
    Everyone\'s staked KBNX sits in one shared pool. Your share of future rewards is proportional.
  • 03
    The system collects trading fees
    Every trade executed on Karbon — KAAT, Infinity, Mastermind signals — generates a fee.
  • 04
    A portion is distributed to stakers
    Bigger stake = bigger slice. Distribution runs automatically every 24 hours.
  • 05
    Withdraw rewards as USDC
    Rewards arrive as USDC, not KBNX. Withdraw to a Polygon wallet anytime — requires 2FA.
Why Staking Could Matter
Benefit 1
Truly passive
No trading required. No strategy to manage. Stake once, collect rewards every 24 hours.
Benefit 2
Paid in USDC
Rewards arrive as stablecoin, not KBNX. Predictable purchasing power and easy off-ramp.
Benefit 3
Aligned with platform growth
More members trading = more fees = bigger reward pool. As Karbon grows, so do rewards.
