Inside $TON on the STONfi exchange, you can now see several pairs whose APR has risen again, including both new pools and those that have been around for a long time.
FRT/TON rose to ~157%. This is a relatively new pool that was added through the integration of STONfi and Gas Pump. The pool will continue to show a high APR for some time.
AMORE/TON is currently around ~152%. Farming is active here, so along with the usual APR, rewards in AMORE tokens are also available. Thanks to this, the pair has become one of the most prominent and long-lasting.
TONG/TON is holding steady at around ~150%. T

The team behind the leading exchange of the $TON network, STONfi, will hold a final community call on December 18. The project has undergone significant growth, several important updates, and a couple of controversial moments that the team rarely discusses publicly. The stream promises to take an honest look at everything: which features have become key, what had to be reworked in the process, and what conclusions were drawn during the product's development.
They will also share their plans for 2026. Where is the exchange headed, what areas will be prioritized, and how is the role of DEX with

There are many prominent tokens in the $TON ecosystem, but there are pairs that form the real foundation of the network. TON/USDT is a key benchmark for prices and an entry point for beginners. It is used for major swaps and Omniston routes. Yes, TON is volatile, and impermanent losses are possible, but it is through this pair that the bulk of the network's liquidity is built.
The STON/USDT pair on STONfi is no less important. It is popular not only because of its stable volume, but also because of its protection against impermanent loss. This makes farming and swaps more predictable and attr

TVL is one of the most indicative metrics within DeFi, and it plays a particularly important role in the $TON ecosystem. Essentially, it is the volume of assets that users are willing to hold within various protocols. The higher the TVL, the higher the degree of trust.
STONfi is currently the prime example of how this statistic translates into a real indicator of quality. Almost half of the network's total TVL is concentrated here, and this is no coincidence. Users do not keep liquidity where it is inconvenient or unsafe for them. They choose a platform where the mechanics work stably, exchan

The market is inherently volatile, especially at the moment, but I continue to be surprised by how volatile the liquidity pairs of various exchanges on the $TON network are.
And while this is less noticeable on some platforms, on STONfi, it is very noticeable how the APR grows from time to time.
Today, I want to show you the pairs that have increased their APR recently:
TRAIN/USDT, APR - 160%. This is a clear example of the result of the integration of the Gas Pump launchpad and STONfi. In terms of APR, it has been holding steady for more than a week and does not appear to be falling.
STBL/TO

I would like to talk about how STONfi has quietly but significantly changed the trading culture within the $TON network. Previously, everything boiled down to simple exchanges, but now trading on the network looks completely different.
The first thing I want to mention is simplicity. STONfi has made DEX what it should be: understandable and fast. Because of this, trading has become accessible even to those who previously had no experience with DeFi. In fact, this is where a layer of newcomers who tried liquidity for the first time was formed.
The second thing is the culture of liquidity. Ther

I want to discuss why STONfi has become the main gateway for newcomers to the $TON ecosystem, with more than half of all network exchanges now passing through this exchange. The reason is simple: it is the most intuitive and seamless tool on the network.
Importantly, STONfi is integrated almost everywhere. Wallets, mini-apps, games, and Telegram bots very often run on their infrastructure. Users may not even know that they are taking their first steps through STONfi, but this is precisely what makes the exchange a key entry point into the ecosystem. A convenient experience at the start keeps

Few people have thought about what various $TON network projects are currently built on. It is now used by wallets, bots, gaming applications, and other services that want to integrate reliable exchanges and work with pools without launching their own DEX. We are talking about the STONfi SDK, which was launched back in 2023.
This was followed by the release of SDK 2.0, which established it as the standard for the $TON ecosystem. Support for mintless tokens appeared — a new Jetton model that can be distributed without a smart contract and without commissions. Minting only occurs after the user'

It has long been noticeable that the $TON ecosystem is gradually shifting from centralized exchanges to decentralized ones. And while most users previously viewed DEXs as a supplementary tool, they are now confidently becoming an alternative to classic CEXs.
The main difference between DEXs is the absence of intermediaries. I will take the top 1 exchange STONfi as an example, where exchanges are carried out directly through smart contracts. There is no center that could freeze funds or restrict access. The user always remains the owner of their assets, and this is probably the key feature. CE

STONfi is gradually forming a more mature infrastructure around itself, and the launch of DAO is one of the most significant steps. Currently, staking STON tokens within the exchange gives you a special soulbound NFT called ARKENSTON. It is permanently attached to your wallet and essentially becomes your identifier as a participant in the future DAO.
But in our case, Arkenston is direct access to protocol management. STONfi has long been the center of liquidity in $TON , and it is clear that the project needs a more distributed decision-making format. DAO solves this problem by shifting some o

On the STONfi exchange in the $TON ecosystem, some pools stand out again, and each one offers something unique. We would like to tell you a little more about them.
The AMORE/TON pair belongs to the community token of the Amocucinare project and their rather popular character Mr. Duck. There are 20,000 AMORE available for farming, and the farming period lasts until December 31.
STON/USDT remains one of the most stable. The rewards are 10,000 STON, and the duration is unlimited. This pool has become one of the model pools of the entire $TON ecosystem.
STORM/TON is simpler: it is a token of one

Looking at the current situation, the total TVL in $TON is approximately $83 million, and the distribution looks like this:
As has been the case for a long time, the STONfi exchange ranks first with $39.33 million. The largest part of the network's liquidity is located here.
In second place is Storm Trade with $12.34 million. The platform confidently holds its position in terms of volume, most likely due to the specific nature of the exchange.
Third place goes to the well-known EVAA Protocol with $11.11 million. I am sure that it will soon take second place, as there are very few similar plat

In the $TON ecosystem, the issue of impermanent loss remains one of the most important, as tokens with high volatility often appear there and end up in liquidity pairs. They manifest themselves when the assets in the pair begin to diverge in price, and this is precisely why there is a difference between what is deposited and what can be obtained in return.
The STONfi exchange offers a solution that partially smooths out such situations. In the STON/USDT liquidity pair, a model is used where, when these losses occur, compensation of up to $100 will be provided. This is truly unique, as this pa

Liquidity pools in STONfi continue to be updated, and several notable pairs with growing APR can once again be seen in the $TON ecosystem:
TRAIN/USDT, APR - 240%
TONG/TON, APR - 146%
MAJOR/TON, APR - 82%. Recently, this pair has become very volatile, but nevertheless, the APR remains at an extremely high level.
STON/USDT, ARP - 30%, the mechanics of infinite farming and protection against partial impermanent losses also remain. I love this pair the most, as I consider it to be a kind of guardian angel among all the pairs.
I would also like to add some good news. STONfi has crossed an importan

During my time trading in the $TON ecosystem, STONfi has become my primary platform because it offers so many convenient features. Recently, I noticed that they launched their first full-fledged DAO. Now, staked STON is converted into ARKENSTON, which gives real voting rights. The more tokens we have, the more voting rights we have.
The community is growing, liquidity is growing, and governance is exactly what was missing. The point is that any user with a vote can make decisions. Everything is out in the open, and you can vote for any proposal you like.
Liquidity pools, SDK, grant program, A

Liquidity pools in STONfi continue to be updated, and pairs that stand out for their APR dynamics and operating features have reappeared within $TON .
Currently, the following can be noted:
BRIN/TON - 228% APR
TRAIN/USD₮ - 100% APR
SWITCH/TON - 8% APR, but the pair is interesting not for its numbers, but for its mechanics - here you can manually adjust the ratio of liquidity contributed, tailoring the pool to your own conditions and strategies
STON/USDT - 15% APR, while retaining key features: infinite STON farming and protection against impermanent loss.
These pairs demonstrate the diversity

Recently, a number of useful tools have appeared in the $TON ecosystem, and one of the latest additions is JetTrade, a bot that runs on top of the STONfi infrastructure and uses it as a basis for performing various operations.
The team implemented the STONfi SDK in two versions simultaneously, giving the bot broad access to exchange routes within the network and allowing it to interact with liquidity pools more stably than if there were only one version. The jet_detector service was also created, which tracks changes in the pools of different protocols and transmits up-to-date information on

Liquidity pools in STONfi are once again showing interesting dynamics. As the market gradually recovers, yields in certain areas are growing, and the $TON network pools themselves are becoming more saturated. At the moment, several notable pairs can be highlighted:
LAMBO/TON - 350% APR
DOGS/TON - 74% APR (a noticeable increase compared to last month's values)
EVAA/USDT - 80% APR, plus EVAA points farming is happening in parallel, which makes the pool more attractive for long-term participation, as these tokens can be used in their ecosystem.
STON/USDT - 15% APR, but here it is worth paying at

During the time I have been trading within the $TON ecosystem, I have developed a fairly clear understanding of the various platforms, but at some point, I simply realized that I most often return to the STONfi exchange, not because someone recommended it, but because in the process of trading, it turned out to be the most convenient for me personally.
When I started to look into it more deeply, I was very surprised at how advanced their Omniston protocol was. It has been in operation for over a year now, and during that time it has managed to gather a bunch of liquidity aggregators under its
