# Carbium

> Trade. Bridge. Build.

Carbium is a Solana infrastructure provider offering a DEX aggregator, a swap API, and RPC nodes. It helps traders and developers route token swaps across Solana liquidity and access chain data through one product family.

Carbium is a Solana infrastructure provider that combines a DEX aggregator, a swap API, RPC nodes, and token data services. It routes token swaps across Solana liquidity venues for best-rate execution and gives developers node access and trading endpoints. It serves retail traders, trading teams, and developers building on Solana.

The platform addresses fragmented liquidity across Solana exchanges by routing trades through multiple venues and building multi-hop paths when a direct pair lacks depth. Swaps can run gasless, without holding SOL for fees, and with MEV protection. The RPC service runs on bare-metal servers the team owns in Switzerland, with JSON-RPC, WebSocket, and gRPC streaming access.

Its offering includes the browser DEX with bridging, reverse quotes, new-pair discovery, and bulk token cleanup, the Swap API for wallets and bots, Carbium RPC, and a public token metadata API. The SPDR token supports single staking funded by a share of platform fees. It is used by individual traders, market makers, wallet and bot developers, and treasury operators managing large token portfolios. The platform was previously known as SpiderSwap.

## Products

- [Carbium DEX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): Carbium DEX is a DEX aggregator on Solana that routes token swaps across multiple liquidity sources for best-rate execution. Users connect a wallet, review the route, and sign in the browser, with gasless swaps that need no SOL for fees and MEV protection on submitted transactions. The app also offers a bridge for moving assets onto Solana, a feed of newly listed pairs, and tools for consolidating small token balances. It is used by Solana traders who want one interface for swapping, bridging, and token discovery. (DEX Aggregator, Live, Main Product)
- [Carbium Swap API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): Carbium Swap API is a DEX aggregation API for Solana that returns swap quotes and builds executable swap transactions across multiple exchanges. Wallets, trading bots, and backend services request a route through one endpoint and receive a transaction ready to sign, with options for gasless execution and MEV protection. It lets developers add token swaps to their products without maintaining a separate integration for each DEX. (DEX Aggregator, Live)
- [Carbium Data](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): Carbium Data is an onchain data API for Solana token metadata. It lets developers search tokens, look up mints, resolve tokens in batches, and fetch cached logos through a free, rate-limited public endpoint. Wallets, explorers, and trading tools use it to display consistent token information without running their own indexer. (OnChain Data API, Live)
- [Carbium RPC](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): Carbium RPC is a Solana RPC provider that gives developers and trading teams node access over JSON-RPC, WebSocket, and gRPC streaming. It runs on bare-metal servers the team owns and operates in Switzerland, with usage-based plans, a free tier, and published rate limits. Teams use it to submit transactions, read chain state, and stream real-time data for applications and trading systems. (RPC Provider, Live)

## Assets

- [SpiderSwap (SPDR)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): SPDR is the utility token of SpiderSwap, a decentralized exchange aggregator on Solana. It is used to pay transaction fees, participate in governance decisions, and stake for rewards distributed from platform fees. The platform returns a significant portion of transaction fees to stakers, with multiplier options based on lock duration that allow holders to earn weighted shares of collected fees and partner token distributions. (Utility)
- [Web Weavers](https://thegrid.id/profiles/carbium): Web Weavers is an NFT collection of 2,222 pixelated creatures on Solana that serve as the community cornerstone of SpiderSwap. Holders receive a portion of SpiderSwap's transaction fees, reduced integration fees, and bonus point multipliers on the protocol. The collection grants access to premium platform features, exclusive presale opportunities, and governance participation, with benefits scaling based on the number of NFTs held in a wallet. (NFT)
