STON.fi's portfolio liberation ended: what are the results

2026-03-31T16:46:37.010Z

35,000+ total participants
4,270 users with 1,000+ points (the ones who actually engaged)
4 people hit the max score of 5,000 points
248 users held a 40-day daily streak without breaking it
$2,100 largest portfolio held during the campaign
$50,000 total prize pool

the streak number is the one worth noting. 248 people held stocks every single day for 40 days straight. that’s not a casual campaign entry, that’s a routine

full ranked results are in the official spreadsheet if you want to check where you landed

xStocks: the RWA product behind the campaign

xStocks is STON.fi’s answer to the “i want exposure to real-world assets on TON without touching a brokerage” problem. tokenized stocks, available on-chain, tradeable 24/7 through the swap interface

so instead of opening a brokerage account, waiting for market hours, and paying fees at every step, you hold a tokenized version of the asset in your wallet and trade it whenever.

portfolio liberation was built around getting people to actually use this, not just read about it. the 4,270 users who crossed 1,000 points were mostly interacting with xStocks pools and positions throughout the 40 days

why RWA in defi is worth your attention

traditional finance makes you pay for access at every step: brokerage fees, wire costs, fund expense ratios, fx spreads. and then it closes at 4pm on weekdays

on-chain RWA removes most of that. tokenized real-world assets sit in liquidity pools you can access any time, from anywhere, with a wallet you control. you provide liquidity, earn yield, withdraw when you want

the risk trade-off is real, smart contracts can fail and liquidity can thin out. but portfolio liberation put users in a position to learn that with actual stakes, not a demo account

what STON.fi is

it’s a DEX on TON. the omniston protocol handles swap routing across available liquidity to get you the best path. the RWA pools the campaign highlighted live inside that ecosystem

if you want to get into the mechanics before touching anything:

swap interface to get started
user guide for pool and liquidity basics
blog for deeper context on RWA integration

the takeaway

4,270 people crossed the real engagement threshold. 248 held a 40-day streak. someone kept $2,100 for the full campaign duration

campaigns can inflate sign-up numbers. they can’t fake that kind of sustained behavior

the campaign is done. the protocol keeps running. if you’re curious about RWA on TON, the telegram is the place to follow what comes next

try xStocks yourself

if you want to try: swap interface is the fastest way in. pick an xStocks token , make a trade, see how it feels. the user guide has the basics if you need context first.

STON.fi is the one of the MOST SECURE protocols in the world

2026-03-29T18:38:47.706Z

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

Try it yourself: swap on STON.fi at app.ston.fi/swap, or follow protocol updates directly on Telegram

WalletConnect finally integrated TON and what it means for you

2026-03-28T16:22:51.130Z

Imagine it’s 2026. You open your phone to swap some TON for USDT on STON.fi. It asks you to connect a wallet. You see the WalletConnect button. You tap it. Your Tonkeeper opens, you approve. Just: tap, confirm, trade

now you don’t have to imagine

WalletConnect’s TON integration went live, and most people in crypto missed it because they were busy watching BTC price go up and down

That’s fine. The people who didn’t miss it are the ones who understand that TON’s mass adoption problem was never about technology. It was about friction

TON processes transactions in under a second. The network handles millions of active wallets, a number that has climbed steadily through 2025 as Telegram’s user base started treating the built in Telegram wallet less like a novelty

STON.fi alone has moved billions in volume. The missing piece was interoperability with the broader wallet ecosystem that the rest of DeFi already takes for granted

WalletConnect fixed that

A short interlude for the skeptic in the room

“WalletConnect is not special. Ethereum has had it for years.”

Yes. And Ethereum had it while TON was still mostly a Telegram experiment

TON is growing right now, in 2026, with a user base that isn’t crypto native by default. Telegram’s 900 million users are not people who grew up with crypto. They need simple instructions

WalletConnect on TON helps with that. The comparison to Ethereum is wrong. The right comparison is: TON before this integration vs. TON after it

Before WalletConnect landed on TON, connecting a dApp meant you were choosing from a short list of wallets that each dApp supported natively

If your wallet wasn’t on the list, you were out. Developers built their own connection system per wallet, per platform. Users who came from other chains expected one standard. TON offered several competing ones

A person who already uses WalletConnect on Arbitrum or Base would open a TON dApp, see no familiar connection option, and close it. This happened thousands of times a day. Developers knew it. The TON ecosystem knew it. Nobody could do much about it until the WalletConnect protocol extended its support

Now a Tonkeeper user, a MyTonWallet user, or anyone holding TON in a WalletConnect-compatible wallet can connect to any supporting dApp through a single click. The developer writes the integration once. The user taps once. The trade, the stake, the LP deposit, whatever the user came to do, happens

For STON.fi, the timing aligns with a period where the DEX is operating at a different scale than it was 12 months ago. The 2025 recap shows what that growth looks like in actual numbers: volume, users, pairs. It’s a DEX that built out the infrastructure while most people were still debating whether TON had a future

STON.fi runs on the Omniston protocol for cross-chain swaps, which means the routing layer handles liquidity across chains rather than locking users into whatever’s available on TON at that moment. WalletConnect compatibility makes that useful to a wider audience. A user coming from Solana or Base doesn’t need to learn a new wallet connection. They connect, they swap, they leave with their tokens

The liquidity pools on STON.fi now sit at a depth that makes slippage a minor concern for most trade sizes. That matters for the wave of users WalletConnect will route toward TON dApps over the next 12 months. New users are not patient with bad fills

What changes for you specifically

If you hold TON and use DeFi on other chains, you can now move through STON.fi the same way you move through Uniswap or Raydium. The UX gap is closed. You pick your tokens, you confirm, you’re done

If you provide liquidity, the bigger audience WalletConnect brings increases the probability that your pool gets used. More volume through the same liquidity depth means better fee returns

If you’re staking, the staking options on STON.fi become accessible to people who previously bounced off the wallet connection step. More participants in staking pools changes the yield dynamics over time

Developers will build more TON dApps knowing the connection is solved. Users will try those dApps knowing their wallet works. STON.fi sits at the center of that activity because it’s the most liquid DEX on the chain with the most mature routing infrastructure

You can follow what’s happening in real time through the STON.fi official channel. If you want to dig into how the protocol works before you move money, the STON.fi documentation covers the architecture without confusion

why STON.fi will change the future of TON

2026-03-27T21:23:06.721Z

most DEXes on new chains follow the same pattern

a chain launches, someone forks Uniswap v2, calls it a DEX

serious users go back to Ethereum

TON almost went that route. STON.fi is why it didn’t

the architecture problem nobody talks about

TON’s sharded blockchain isn’t EVM-compatible. contracts communicate asynchronously between shards, state updates don’t land at the same time, a naively ported AMM breaks under load

STON.fi built natively for this from day one

swaps don’t fail when the chain gets busy. that sounds like a minor detail until you’re managing a real position and watching other protocols drop transactions

TON’s TVL over time

cross-chain

if you hold USDT on Ethereum and want a TON native token, the normal flow looks like this:

find a bridge
acquire TON for gas
find the DEX
execute the swap
manage two wallets simultaneously

most people abandon somewhere around step two

STON.fi’s cross-chain swaps cut that entire process. you go from external asset to TON native token in one flow, no separate bridge UI, no extra gas

fewer steps means more people finish the trade, which means more volume landing in TON pools

what is Omniston

standard AMMs route your swap through their own pools. if liquidity is fragmented, you eat the slippage

Omniston works differently. it’s an open aggregation layer where independent resolvers compete to fill your order. you submit a swap, multiple resolvers bid on execution, best price wins. you don’t configure anything, you just get a better rate.

for liquidity providers this works fast: more volume flows through the protocol, more fees get distributed, more LPs deposit, which attracts more volume. the pools sorted by popularity show this in numbers right now

what 2025 actually showed

the 2025 recap isn’t just numbers. the more interesting signals are:

farming participation growing alongside spot volume
DAO governance seeing contested proposals, not rubber-stamp votes
staking adoption from users who aren’t just here for speculation

a DEX that only grows on hype volume collapses when sentiment shifts. one with locked up LPs, active governance, and staking behavior survives the downturn. STON.fi’s composition shifted toward the second type last year

check the DAO proposals yourself, there are actual arguments happening about fee parameters, not just team proposals sailing through

the real bet here

TON has 950 million Telegram users as a potential funnel. converting even a fraction of them into on chain participants requires a DEX that doesn’t punish people for being new

cross chain entry removes the chain-literacy requirement. Omniston gives competitive rates without manual routing. staking and farming create reasons to stay past the first trade

the infrastructure is already built. the distribution channel exists. the question is just how fast the overlap between those two things grows

if you want to follow how this develops, the official channel is good, community chat is where you see real user behavior

Cross-Chain Is Broken. TON Knows It.

2026-03-26T18:52:35.577Z

most crypto people will tell you cross-chain is solved

bridges exist, aggregators exist, liquidity routers exist. you can move tokens between chains, so the problem is done

this is wrong, and the numbers show it

bridge hacks cost users over $2.5 billion between 2021 and 2024. slippage on cross-chain swaps regularly runs 2–5x higher than same chain trades.

and TON, despite having 950 million Telegram-connected wallets as potential users, still sits mostly disconnected from the DeFi liquidity that lives on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain

A Researcher’s Field Notes, March 2026

day 1: the liquidity problem is not where people think it is

spend an hour trying to move USDT from Ethereum into TON ecosystem

you will find three bridges, one with a 48 hour withdrawal window. the slippage on a $5,000 swap will eat $180. the UI on most of these tools looks like it was built in 2019 and never touched since

TON has real users. telegram’s built in wallet put crypto in front of 900 million people

but the tokens they want, the yield opportunities they hear about, the assets that drive DeFi volume on other chains: most of it stays out of reach unless you know how to navigate infrastructure that was clearly built for developers, not for the person who downloaded Telegram last year

day 3: the myth of interoperability

most “interoperable” protocols move assets by locking them on one chain and minting wrapped versions on another. you get wETH, wBTC, bridged USDC. you get a token that is one exploit away from going to zero

the 2022 Wormhole hack ($320 million) and the Ronin Bridge hack ($625 million) came from exactly this architecture

lock and mint is simple to build and terrible to trust at scale

a different approach: instead of moving tokens, match buyers and sellers across chains at the protocol level, settle via smart contracts, and skip the custodial lock entirely

this is what cross-chain swaps look like when built correctly. no wrapped tokens sitting in a multisig or 48 hour withdrawal windows

the trade either executes atomically or it doesn’t execute

day 5: TON’s specific problem

TON is architecturally different from EVM chains. its sharded execution, and account structure do not map cleanly onto Ethereum tooling. most bridge builders skip TON for this reason. It requires actual engineering work to integrate, not just deploying a familiar contract

this means TON liquidity stays fragmented. assets pool up inside the ecosystem with limited paths out. and external liquidity has no clean path in

the 950 million Telegram users that crypto Twitter keeps citing as TON’s killer advantage cannot access most of what DeFi has built over the past four years.

day 8: where the actual progress is happening

STON.fi has been building on TON since before TON had serious amount of users

the team shipped AMM infrastructure, liquidity pools, and routing before most people paid attention to the chain.

by 2025, it had processed tens of millions in daily volume and sat at the center of TON’s DeFi

Omniston changes everything

STON.fi’s Omniston protocol is a liquidity aggregation layer designed to pull in external liquidity sources and route cross chain trades through TON without requiring users to manually bridge first

users get execution without touching bridge UI

you can read the technical documentation and check the architecture yourself

the solver model mirrors what protocols like UniswapX and 1inch Fusion brought to ethereum, applied to a chain that previously had nothing like it

what you should do

if you hold assets on TON and have not looked at STON.fi’s interface lately, spend 20 minutes on it

the swap interface has gotten cleaner. the routing has improved. cross-chain paths that required three manual steps a year ago now surface as single transactions

if you hold assets outside TON and want exposure to the ecosystem, watch Omniston’s solver rollout.

the community discussions on the DAO are public and give you a real information on where the protocol is heading

if you are skeptical about any of this: good.

How Telegram Mini Apps Made Crypto Boring (In the Best Way)

2026-03-25T19:16:57.711Z

Telegram crossed 1 billion monthly users in March 2025. About 330 million of them have touched crypto, and most didn’t notice they did it

They tapped on a hamster hoping to get some free tokens and sell them

the fear barrier was never about education

The industry spent years explaining blockchains. Whitepapers, YouTube videos, Twitter threads, none of it worked at scale

Notcoin got 35 million users to tap a coin on a screen. TON network accounts jumped from 4 million to 128 million in about a year, all driven by Mini Apps

Seed phrases, browser extensions, wrong chain errors, every step lost users before they made one real transaction, and Mini Apps cut all of it

the interface is the product

Over 500 million people use Telegram Mini Apps. The biggest category by monthly users is crypto at 87 million, with gaming coming second at 79 million

Crypto beat gaming. On Telegram

Mini Apps open inside the app you already check 20+ times a day. Built-in Telegram Stars and TON payments keep it cheap for users and developers, and the loop runs itself, more apps bring more users bring more developers

In 2025, Telegram moved all crypto Mini Apps to TON. Apps on other chains lost visibility, which left fewer projects but better ones, all TON-native and built for the messenger

That’s where DeFi started reaching regular people, not through a landing page selling financial freedom, but through a swap button in a chat. STON.fi is the clearest example. largest DEX on TON, open it, connect wallet, swap. The liquidity pools page looks like any normal fintech dashboard, nothing about it announces “you are doing DeFi”

built in wallet is easy to use

Over 100 million users turned on the built in Telegram wallet. When TON Wallet launched for U.S. users in July 2025, 87 million Americans got access to self-custody wallets without downloading anything extra

Telegram added native USDT support, over 12 million USDT wallets were created in the first six hours, and $400 million in volume followed

The line between messaging app and crypto wallet is gone in 2026, they’re the same product

the numbers

TON’s DeFi sector crossed $150 million in total value locked, and the Mini Apps ecosystem grew 3,100% in blockchain adoption in roughly one year

The infrastructure is running ahead of the money right now. Protocols like Omniston, STON.fi’s aggregation layer, are building for load that hasn’t arrived yet. The 2025 recap from STON.fi shows a year spent on real depth, cross-chain swaps, DAO governance, and a staking product that reads like something from a regulated fintech app

The pattern across serious projects here: build for users who don’t want to know they’re using crypto

what now

The person who tapped Hamster Kombat in 2024 now, in many cases, has a wallet, some TON, some stablecoins, and a basic sense of how yield works. They didn’t read a whitepaper, they played a game, got curious, and found something like STON.fi’s cross-chain swap guide that explained the mechanics in ten minutes

By 2026, Mini Apps stopped being experimental and got embedded in daily behavior. The gap between “crypto app” and “regular app” closed for good

The industry wanted a killer app for a decade, and it turned out to be a messenger. Mini Apps didn’t make crypto cool, they made it convenient, which is harder to pull off and worth a lot more

the STON.fi community is one of the better places to learn the TON DeFi ecosystem — practical questions, fast answers

How 1,000+ Traders Actually Fixed Their PnL

2026-03-24T19:24:59.403Z

Entry 01: The Realization

I spent three years thinking I was a trader. I had the multi-monitor setup. I had the Twitter notifications on. I even had a favorite Fibonacci level. But my account balance was basically a flat line with occasional dips into the red.

I was looking at the symptoms (price) instead of the cause (liquidity). Most people treat the market like a casino, but it is actually a plumbing system. If there is no water in the pipes, you cannot drink. If there is no liquidity in a pool, you cannot trade. It is that simple.

Entry 02: The Evidence

In late 2025, I started tracking a group of wallets that seemed immune to market crashes. While everyone else was arguing about “support levels,” these guys were just moving capital into strategic pools.

I checked the 2025 results for the TON ecosystem and the data does not lie. The traders who made money weren’t the ones guessing the next moonshot. They were the ones providing depth and using cross-chain swaps to capture price gaps before the bots could close them.

Entry 03: The Mechanism

Why does this work? Because of slippage. If you try to buy $500 of a low-cap coin on a weak DEX, you might pay $550. You are down 10% before the trade even finishes. Professional traders use tools like the Omniston protocol to solve this. It is a logic-based approach: find the deepest path, minimize the friction, and keep the change.

I honestly don’t know why we were taught to draw triangles on charts when we should have been reading technical documentation about automated market makers.

The Verdict

Stop looking for a magic arrow on your screen. Start looking at the depth of the market. The indicator isn’t a line. It is a calculation of how much money can move without breaking the price.

Your Next Step

If you are still clicking buttons and hoping for the best, you are just gambling. Go to the official blog, read about how liquidity actually functions, and stop being someone else’s exit liquidity.

HODL is Dead: Why Your Passive Liquidity is Slowly Bleeding to Zero

2026-03-23T20:46:41.383Z

The days of simply providing liquidity and walking away are largely over. In the early era of DeFi, you could throw some tokens into a pool, collect your trading fees, and feel like a financial genius. But as we move through 2026, the market has become far too sharp for that. The old buy and hold strategy, while still a cultural cornerstone of crypto, often leaves participants exposed to invisible costs that eat their gains from the inside out.

I recently found myself thinking about the points raised by Andrey Fedorov from STON.fi during his session at the HSC Asset Management conference. He touched on a nerve that many liquidity providers try to ignore. It is not just about the raw APY anymore. If your yield comes at the cost of massive drawdown or extreme volatility, you aren’t actually winning. You are just taking uncompensated risks.

The Sharpe Ratio vs. Pure Return

The core of the debate between active and passive capital comes down to how we measure success. A passive position in a standard pool might show a 40% return, which sounds great until you realize the underlying assets dropped 50% in value during a market swing. This is why the conversation is shifting toward the Sharpe ratio. We need to look at returns in the context of the risk taken to get them.

source: investopedia

Active capital doesn’t just sit there. It moves. It hedges. It seeks out efficiency. In a world of high volatility, being a passive observer is becoming a dangerous game. When we talk about beating passive liquidity, we mean achieving a higher risk-adjusted return. This requires tools that can react to the market faster than a human looking at a screen once a day. This is exactly where the Omniston protocol enters the picture, as it creates a framework where liquidity isn’t just stagnant but is instead optimized across different venues to find the best possible execution.

The Rise of the Machine: AI and Automation

One of the biggest hurdles for active management has always been the complexity. Not everyone has the time or the technical skill to manage complex strategies across multiple chains. However, the barrier to entry is finally collapsing. We are seeing the emergence of AI agents that can handle the heavy lifting of risk management and rebalancing.

These agents don’t sleep and they don’t have emotions. They can monitor liquidity pools and move capital based on real time data. Instead of a user having to manually bridge assets and calculate slippage, the technology handles the backend. This shift makes active management accessible to everyone, not just the whales or the hedge funds. It turns the idea of active capital into a set and forget experience that is actually intelligent.

The Omnichain Future

We are also moving away from the era of fragmented liquidity. The future belongs to solutions that ignore the boundaries between different blockchains. If you want to understand how this works in practice, you can look at the recent explanation of cross-chain swaps. This technology allows users to swap assets between chains without the usual friction of wrapped tokens or centralized bridges.

When liquidity can move freely, the distinction between being on one chain or another starts to disappear. This is the essence of chain abstraction. By following the official STON.fi channel, you can see how this evolution is playing out in the TON ecosystem. The goal is to make the underlying tech invisible so the user only cares about the result.

Final Thoughts

Beating passive liquidity isn’t about chasing the highest possible number on a dashboard. It is about being smarter with the capital you have. It means utilizing comprehensive guides to understand the tools at your disposal and choosing platforms that prioritize efficiency over hype. The market in 2026 demands more than just participation. It demands an active, informed, and automated approach to wealth.

How to earn up to 20% APY on your stables in 2026

2026-03-22T20:58:48.803Z

I’ve been staring at stablecoin yields for the past few months, it’s been getting a bit dry. Finding anything north of 10% that doesn’t feel like a total gamble is becoming a chore. Most protocols are tightening their belts, leaving us with returns that barely beat a high-yield savings account.

However, the recent integration between Ethena and the TON ecosystem has caught my eye. It’s not just another partnership announcement. It’s a strategic move that brings USDe liquidity to one of the fastest-growing blockchains. If you’ve been looking for a place to park your capital, the new tsUSDe pools on STON.fi are offering around 20% APY, which is a significant outlier in the current climate.

The Mechanics: It’s Not Just a Bonus

We aren’t talking about a simple marketing gimmick here. This is a deep integration of Ethena’s “synthetic dollar” into the TON DeFi landscape. When you look at the liquidity section on the DEX, you’ll see that providing liquidity for tsUSDe involves a multi-layered reward system.

You get the standard trading fees, but the real draw is the boosted incentive program. We’re looking at weekly drops in TON tokens for active providers. To keep things fair and sybil-resistant, there’s a small catch: you need a TON ID for verification. It’s an extra step, but I actually prefer this. It means the rewards aren’t just being swallowed by bots, leaving more for actual users like us.

Why This Specific Pool Makes Sense

Beyond the 20% number, there are a few structural reasons why I’m leaning into this. First, the TON ecosystem is hitting a critical mass. The integration with Telegram means onboarding is smoother than almost any other chain.

Second, the technical foundation is solid. STON.fi has been building out its OmniSTON protocol to handle cross-chain liquidity more efficiently. This matters because it reduces the slippage you usually see when moving large amounts of stables. If you want to see exactly how these swaps are routed, the DEX documentation explains the math behind their virtual files and price impact.

I also appreciate the user experience on the main swap page. It’s clean, fast, and doesn’t feel like you’re operating a flight simulator. When the market is volatile, being able to exit or enter a position without fighting a clunky UI is a massive plus.

The Reality Check

Look, I’m not here to tell you this is “free money.” There is always risk in DeFi, from smart contract vulnerabilities to the peg stability of the underlying assets. But compared to the “vampire attacks” we saw in the last bull run, this feels more calculated and sustainable.

The most important thing to note is the timeline. This specific incentive window is open until August 27. It’s a limited opportunity to capture that 20% APY before the pool matures and the rates likely stabilize at a lower level.

If you’re new to the ecosystem or aren’t sure how to bridge your assets over, I highly recommend spending ten minutes in the official knowledge base. It covers everything from wallet setup to liquidity risks. It’s better to understand the plumbing before you turn on the faucet.

Whether you’re a TON native or just someone looking for a better home for your stables, this Ethena integration is one of the few things in the market right now that actually feels worth the clicks.

Don’t leave your stables idling. If you’re ready to put your capital to work, head over to the STON.fi official channel to stay updated on the latest farming rewards and community drops. The 20% window is closing soon, so make your move before the August 27 deadline.

How a New Telegram Bot is Quietly Disrupting the DEX Market

2026-03-21T22:33:52.620Z

I’ve been watching the TON ecosystem closely for a while now, and if you look at the numbers, something shifted recently. We aren’t just talking about meme coin frenzies anymore. With TVL hitting new highs and trading volumes exploding, the network is entering a sophistication phase. It’s no longer just about swapping one token for another; it’s about what you can do with those tokens once you have them.

This brings us to one of the most interesting developments in the Telegram Mini App space: X-Fi.

Why Margin Trading Actually Matters

If you’ve spent any time in DeFi, you know that spot trading is only half the story. To have a mature market, you need leverage. You need the ability to go long when you’re bullish or hedge your bets when things look shaky.

X-Fi recently launched a spot margin protocol directly inside Telegram, allowing users to open positions with up to 5x leverage.

Instead of trying to build a liquidity pool from scratch, which is a massive headache and usually leads to high slippage, X-Fi does something much smarter. It plugs directly into the STON.fi V2 pools.

The Infrastructure Play

I’ve always argued that the most successful projects aren’t the ones that reinvent the wheel, but the ones that build on top of rock-solid foundations. By using proxy contracts to tap into STON.fi’s liquidity, X-Fi gets deep liquidity and protection from price impact right out of the box.

For the average user, this means when you open a 5x long on TON, the actual swap is happening on the most trusted DEX in the ecosystem. You aren’t trading against a black box or a thin pool; you’re trading against the entire TON culinary landscape that STON.fi has spent years cultivating.

Under the Hood: SDKs and What’s Next

From a technical standpoint, this integration is a massive win for the STON.fi SDK. It proves that the V2 architecture isn’t just for simple swaps. It’s a modular layer that other developers can treat like LEGO bricks.

We’re seeing the beginning of a trend here. First, it’s margin trading through X-Fi. Next, we’re looking at limit orders and eventually V3 concentrated liquidity pools. If you want to see where the smart money is moving, it’s worth keeping an eye on the current DAO discussions regarding these upgrades.

The Bigger Picture

I genuinely think we’re moving past the era where every app tries to be an island. The synergy between a specialized trading tool like X-Fi and an infrastructure giant like STON.fi is exactly what TON needs to rival older chains like Solana or Ethereum.

It’s about efficiency. X-Fi handles the user experience and the leverage mechanics, while STON.fi provides the fuel. If you’re curious about how these pieces fit together, I’d suggest looking through the official STON.fi blog or checking their 2025 analytics to see just how much volume is flowing through these pipes.

At the end of the day, the winners in this space won’t be the loudest projects, but the ones that make the ecosystem feel invisible and seamless. Whether you’re a degen looking for 5x gains or a long-term holder, the fact that this level of financial tooling now exists inside a chat app is, frankly, pretty wild.
