What are “tax tokens” and why doesn’t STON.fi support them?
Let’s break it down
A tax token is any token that charges a fee every time it’s transferred even during swaps on a DEX.
Example:
You send 100 tokens → You receive 90.
The missing 10 was taken as “tax.”
This creates a big problem for traders and liquidity providers:
DEXes expect the amount sent = the amount received (minus normal fees).
But tax tokens break this rule.
On STON.fi, this causes:
• Failed swaps
• Huge slippage requirements
• Unpredictable output amounts
• User losses
• Broken LP calculations
Simply put: tax tokens don’t behave like normal tokens.
Some tax tokens also hide extra risks:
• Hidden taxes
• Increasing tax rates
• Fees that trap users
• Smart contracts designed to exploit traders
STONfi protects users by filtering out these dangerous tokens automatically.
So when you don’t see a certain token on STON.fi, it’s usually because:
It’s a tax token
It creates unsafe swap conditions
It poses risk to users and LPs
STONFI’s priority is simple:
Safe swaps. Fair liquidity. Predictable outcomes.
Tax tokens don’t fit that standard so they’re excluded.
Final takeaway:
Tax tokens may look attractive, but they break core DeFi mechanics.
stonfi avoids them to keep the TON ecosystem healthy and users protected.
