As soon as you make your first swap, everything seems so simple and straightforward. You choose a token, click swap, and get the result. At this stage, it feels like it’s always been this way.

But over time, a different understanding emerges. Your first experience usually takes place under ideal conditions: small amounts, popular pairs, high liquidity. In such situations, trading really does seem as simple as possible, and this creates a slightly distorted impression.

But as soon as the trade size changes, less liquid tokens come into play, and the market starts to move. Suddenly, the result no longer seems as predictable. Slippage occurs here and there, the final number of tokens changes, errors can pop up, and your perception of trading ceases to be so ideal.

Only then do you begin to realize that an exchange isn’t just a button, but an interaction with liquidity within the market. The result depends directly on exactly where and when you make the exchange. On the $TON network, traders almost immediately understand why so many turn to STONfi and why this exchange sits at the top of the entire ecosystem.

A huge portion of all swaps across the entire network currently go through STONfi, and virtually every swap conducted within the network in the U.S. also goes through STONfi. And this is one of the reasons why STONfi now holds nearly half of all liquidity within the network.
