Happy Birthday, STON.fi!

Three years ago, on November 20, 2022, STON.fi launched as a simple AMM protocol with one jetton and one goal: make DeFi on TON Blockchain feel natural. Since then, the protocol has scaled into TON’s largest DeFi product — with volume growing from $92K to $6.65B, users from 348 to 5.6M, swaps from 577 to 29.7M, and token pairs from 1 to more than 550.

A major milestone in this journey was the launch of Omniston, STON.fi’s decentralized liquidity aggregation protocol that now powers swaps across TON DeFi and supports hundreds of TON applications. In 2025, STON.fi also became the first protocol in the ecosystem to launch a DAO, on the way to transfer protocol governance directly to its community.

STON.fi’s presence has expanded globally — 66 events this year across Singapore, the UAE, Poland, Georgia, and more. The community has also grown to over 2M followers.

🙏 STON.fi DAO Is Now Live

Community members who staked their tokens can now participate directly in proposals, discussions, and vote on key decisions shaping the next stage of STON.fi’s development.

This step moves the protocol toward practical decentralization and sets a transparent governance model for TON Blockchain DeFi.

“For us, decentralization isn’t a slogan — it’s the point,” said Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev. “From the very beginning, STON.fi was built to serve the entire TON ecosystem — to be infrastructure everyone can rely on. The DAO makes that collaboration real. Now, the same people who use the protocol every day can guide where it goes next.”

🔝 Omniston by STON.fi — Solving Liquidity Fragmentation in TON DeFi

In this article, Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev, explains how Omniston tackles liquidity fragmentation on TON and outlines the next phase of liquidity infrastructure for the ecosystem, along with the next steps of Omniston’s evolution.

As TON DeFi scaled, liquidity didn’t grow evenly — it fragmented across thousands of pools and multiple DEXs, making price discovery inefficient and integrations expensive for builders. This created a need for an execution layer that could treat liquidity as a shared resource again.

Omniston arrived as a decentralized liquidity aggregator that consolidated key sources and simplified access for applications.

👛 BTC, ETH and USDT Vaults are now live in TON Wallet

Vault strategies have been integrated into TON Wallet within Wallet in Telegram, for the first time bringing advanced DeFi-native strategy management to the TON ecosystem.

The infrastructure is powered by three providers: Morpho handles core lending, deployed on TAC — the EVM execution layer of TON that enables Ethereum DeFi protocols to operate natively within the ecosystem. Re7 manages strategy curation, risk allocation and rebalancing.

Next step: native BTC and ETH transfers into TON Wallet, with automatic wrapping into onchain equivalents (cbBTC and wETH) — moving closer to a unified self-custodial experience where cross-chain complexity is abstracted away from the user entirely.
