STON.fi is the one of the MOST SECURE protocols in the world
in February 2025, Inferno Drainer drained $9M from users across multiple DEX platforms in under 72 hours. no exploit in the smart contracts, just gaps in security that auditors had flagged months earlier and teams deprioritized
this keeps happening because most DeFi teams treat security as just a requirement, not an ongoing practice. you release the product, audit once, move on
CertiK runs the most referenced security scoring system in crypto. their methodology pulls from on-chain behavior, smart contract audits, team transparency, governance structure, and operational security practices. getting above 90 is rare, 95 is even rarer
STON.fi scored 95.38, which places it in the global TOP 4 across all rated DeFi protocols. not just DEXes on TON. all of them
the average score across audited protocols sits somewhere around 70. projects can score in the 80s with a clean audit and decent team transparency. crossing 95 requires everything to be consistent, code, team, governance, and incident response
STON.fi has published its full audit documentation through docs.ston.fi. CertiK checks whether this kind of transparency is real or just for show, and the score reflects it
cross-chain activity is where most protocols get into trouble in 2026. every cross-chain interaction adds a new attack surface, and most teams audit the core DEX and stop there. STON.fi’s Omniston protocol handles cross-chain routing and was audited separately. Most teams skip this because it costs more and takes longer
if you use the protocol to swap or participate in liquidity pools, the score matters directly. funds in pools are exposed to smart contract risk around the clock. a 95.38 does not mean zero risk, it means the risk has been looked at more carefully than in 95% of alternatives
the team posts updates through their Telegram channel. not every project keeps this up after the first audit cycle
CertiK’s model is not perfect, but it is the most complete public method available right now, and STON.fi’s position reflects consistent, documented work across multiple audit cycles
95.38 does not come from a single audit. it comes from a team that treats security as a core part of how the protocol runs
