The $TON blockchain has quietly grown into one of 2024’s most active ecosystems. With a total value locked (TVL) of ~$185M (DefiLlama), it’s clear capital is flowing into TON DeFi. At the heart of this activity sits STONfi, TON’s flagship DEX.
STONfi currently holds about $65M in TVL and has processed ~$101M in trading volume over the past 30 days, making it the primary liquidity hub for TON.
However, the data reveals a pattern: liquidity and trading often surge during reward campaigns, only to cool off afterward. This shows incentives are effective at attracting users, but sustained, organic usage is still the key challenge.
The $STON token, trading near $0.74, reflects this. Price action often mirrors campaign cycles bullish during reward programs, weaker once they end. For $STON to break out of this loop, its utility must deepen: governance rights, use as collateral, and broader integrations across TON DeFi are all critical.
STONfi is already innovating with features like one-sided liquidity provision and impermanent loss protection, which reduce barriers for new liquidity providers. The next step is converting these campaign-driven users into long-term participants, and building real non-incentive trading volume.
If STONfi manages this transition, it won’t just remain TON’s biggest DEX it could cement itself as the backbone of the entire TON DeFi ecosystem.
