It supports more than 30,000 native TON jettons without relying on bridges or wrapped assets.
Swaps are executed directly inside Telegram through the mini app, requiring no account creation and no KYC. Transactions reach block finality in about 5 to 6 seconds, and the average swap cost is usually under 0.30 dollars.
For liquidity providers, the system creates two layers of earnings. Supplying liquidity earns trading fees from every swap that passes through the pool. On top of that, active farming programs provide additional rewards. STON stakers can also access boosted APR in selected pools, with multipliers of up to 2 times during active boost periods, including those running in April 2026.
The STON token has three main utilities. Staking allows users to earn a share of protocol revenue. Governance is handled through ARKENSTON, which are soul bound NFTs given to stakers and used for voting, with stronger weight given to longer lock durations. GEMSTON serves as an engagement reward distributed alongside staking incentives. Lock periods range from 3 months to 24 months.
A deflationary mechanism is also built into the fee model. Protocol revenue is used for token buybacks, and a portion of the repurchased tokens is permanently burned, reducing supply over time. The total supply is capped at 100 million STON.
Since its launch in Q3 2022, the platform has recorded 5.89 million unique swappers and 33 million total swaps. Its key advantage is Telegram integration, which acts as a powerful distribution channel. The mini app removes most onboarding friction, making DeFi more accessible through Telegram’s large user base.
