What is IL and how to avoid it?
IL (Impermanent Losses) has always been a pressing issue in the world of DeFi, as any DEX user aiming to earn APR from liquidity pools might encounter it.
What causes IL?
======================
When you start storing tokens in a liquidity pool and a price difference arises between the two tokens in that pool, IL occurs. This means it would have been better to simply hold those tokens in your wallet. For example, if token A rises by 15% while token B drops by 5%, IL emerges. In other words, when providing liquidity to a pool, you want the token volume to remain i

Liquidity is the lifeblood of all DeFi, as it powers nearly everything: liquidity pools, swaps, and more. Like any resource, liquidity is limited, so various DEXs must address the issue of liquidity shortages.
Why is liquidity so important?
==========================
When you make a swap, you put one token and take another from a liquidity pool. However, there’s a concept called slippage, which can result in you receiving a smaller amount of tokens than you put in. The more liquidity there is, the less slippage occurs, and thus, the more tokens you get from the swap. In other words, the swap r

For a #DEX to be the leader on its blockchain, it needs either the highest amount of liquidity or some unique features.
STONfi, the main DEX on #TON  combines both of these aspects, and over the past year, it has introduced a range of exciting features:
1. Arbitary Provision
This feature allows users to provide liquidity to a pool with just one token, instead of two in a 50/50 ratio.
2. Omniston
A unified liquidity protocol that ensures minimal slippage during swaps.
3. WCPI
A new type of liquidity pool where users can adjust the ratio of the tokens they provide.

Liquidity pools are the backbone of decentralized exchanges (#DEX s), functioning as smart contracts that lock a set amount of tokens. These tokens enable other participants in decentralized systems to engage in activities like swapping or earning rewards. For a pool to operate effectively, sufficient liquid cryptocurrencies must be available; otherwise, transactions may fail to process.
On STONfi, a main DEX on #TON blockchain, a reward system called farming has been integrated to incentivize liquidity provision. This system, accessible via STONfi’s platform, distributes rewards in real time

#Altcoins are a broad concept, and each blockchain has its own list of altcoins. In this post, we’ll learn the main altcoins of the #TON blockchain and their associated liquidity pools.
— $MAJOR/TON: 97% APR
Among all the tokens from TapTap games, #MAJOR seems to be the most active. After its listing, the token continues to thrive, as the team keeps introducing various activities. For example, Major is currently being deeply integrated with Telegram (channel verification), and the project’s founder, Roxman, is developing a dedicated platform for NFT gifts called Portals, where I believe the

Here’s how investments in individual projects can impact the development of an entire ecosystem:
Recently, STONfi, the largest DEX on the TON blockchain, raised $9.5M in investments from #Ribbit Capital and #CoinFund .
STONfi is known, among other things, for its interesting tools, such as the Omniston Protocol - a protocol that acts as a liquidity aggregator and provides users with the best exchange rates.
In reviewing STONfi’s roadmap, I highlighted a few interesting points:
• Cross-chain between TON and #TRON , Polygon, other #EVM
• Limit order book
• Gasless Swaps
These are all very exci

The TON blockchain hosts a primary swap pair, TON/USDT, which plays a significant role in its ecosystem. Unlike other blockchains where main pairs, like #Uniswap ’s WBTC/USDC with a low 0.23% APR due to high TVL, TON’s user base often lacks familiarity with decentralized systems. To boost engagement with #DeFi , the main pair on TON should provide an attractive APR to draw in participants.
STONfi, the leading decentralized exchange on the #TON blockchain, has introduced a farming system for the TON/USDT pair to address this. This system enables users to earn extra rewards by contributing liqu

The main issue with liquidity pools for LPs is impermanent lоss (IL), which can make people wary of participating in them. However, a solution has already been devised.
On STONfi, the leading #DEX on the #TON blockchain, there’s the STON/USDT pool, which has an exclusive feature — "IL Protection." What is it?
In short, a liquidity pool with IL Protection allows you to provide liquidity while minimizing impermanent loss. Compensation for IL is automatically distributed every month. This makes this pool the most attractive on the entire DEX, because IL Protection is exclusive for STON/#USDT .

Why does one #DEX have a high #TVL while another has a low one?
The formation of TVL (Total Value Locked) depends on how much liquidity is present in liquidity pools. To achieve a high TVL, you need to attract LPs (Liquidity Providers) to provide liquidity. How can this be done?
A unique solution was found on STONfi, the largest DEX on the #TON blockchain. In some liquidity pools, including the main TON/USDT pool, there’s a farming feature. Farming provides additional rewards for LPs for being liquidity providers. Thanks to farming, the overall APR in the liquidity pool increases, making th

Where to store your tokens on the #TON blockchain?
In my opinion, the best place to store your tokens is in liquidity pools. Yes, you heard that right - not a wallet, but liquidity pools. Unlike simply holding tokens, liquidity pools offer the opportunity to earn #APR , which is far more interesting, especially when the price of TON has been stagnant for a long time.
Right now, on STONfi, the main DEX on the TON blockchain, there are plenty of #liquidity pools with tasty APRs. These high APRs are due to active farming in these pools. Farming is when liquidity providers (LPs) receive addition

Every blockchain has its primary stablecoin. In EVM,, it’s #USDT ; on #Solana , it’s #USDC . But what about TON?
Recently, $USDe — a stablecoin from #Ethena Labs — appeared on STONfi, the leading DEX on the #TON blockchain, and here’s why it’s poised to become the native stablecoin of this blockchain:
First, its operation no longer requires any bridges or external services; everything happens natively on TON through STONfi.
Second, there’s an opportunity to earn Ethena Points through staking and providing liquidity. While staking is straightforward, I’d like to dive deeper into liquidity pro

#TON has reacted quite strongly to the bullish rise of #BTC to its ATH, so interest in the token is gradually returning.
Simply holding tokens can no longer be called highly profitable these days, so if you’re holding TON and planning to keep it long-term, there’s an opportunity to become a liduity provider (LP) on STONfi and earn APR from it. Here’s how it works:
1. Go to STONfi
2. Choose a liquidity pool that you like
3. Click "Add liquidity"
4. Enable the "Arbitrary Provision" function, which allows you to avoid swapping tokens in the required proportion
5. If available, enable "Get Farm

#BLUM /TON - 255% APR
I’m diving into the liquidity pools with the highest APR on DEXs, and today, this pool takes the top spot for APR on STONfi, the largest DEX on the $TON blockchain. So, why is that?
1. Farming
Currently, farming is active in this liquidity pool, offering rewards of $417/day, which contributes to this high APR. In addition to the pool’s base APR, liquidity providers (LPs) are also receiving extra rewards.
2. Airdrop
Blum recently conducted its airdrop, but what’s notable is that most users have kept their tokens in vesting, claiming them gradually. This creates stable volu

Different blockchains tackle the issue of liquidity shortages in various ways, and a unique solution was found in the $TON blockchain - farming, which operates in liquidity pools on STONfi. But what is farming?
Every liquidity pool has its own APR for liquidity providers - that’s clear. However, farming offers additional rewards for liquidity providers, allowing the total APR in a pool to reach massive values. Here are a few examples on STONfi:
• #BLUM /#TON : 239% APR
• TONG/TON: 52% APR
• JETTON/USDT: 48% APR
It’s farming that sustains high liquidity in these pools by attracting more liquidi

Connecting the web2 and #web3 worlds seems like a daunting task and a serious mission, the result of which could attract a massive amount of liquidity to the blockchain. And this is exactly what TON, together with #Telegram , is working on right now.
In my opinion, $TON has already done a lot for the entire cryptocurrency space - it has attracted a multitude of enthusiasts who were previously completely unfamiliar with this field. Take, for example, the much-criticized Hamster Kombat, but thanks to it, many people started using blockchain for the first time.
Speaking of Telegram, it’s worth m

Even if you don't have $BTC in your portfolio, the historical high is still a reason to rejoice. At least because BTC is the engine of cryptocurrency and together with it the whole web3 world comes to life.
First of all, #altseason starts usually when bitcoin is at ATH. Liquidity spills over into other blockchains which formulates an overall bullish backdrop
Second, something that not many people focus on is the pushing of boundaries. More and more new people are coming into crypto and adding their liquidity, and more institutions are becoming interested in the field, looking at the increase

The difference between two DEXs on #TON
The TON blockchain surged in popularity last year, drawing millions of new users through its Telegram integration and engaging TapTap games that brought everyday people into the ecosystem. This growth has spotlighted its two leading decentralized exchanges (DEXs): STОNfi and DeDust, which handle most token swaps.
STОNfi is pioneering the Omniston Protocol, a liquidity aggregation system that pulls from multiple DEXs to deliver optimal rates and zero-slippage quotes. This innovation, absent from DeDust’s whitepaper, which lacks future plans, positions ST

#DEX vs #CEX : what is better?
The core difference between centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) lies in their functionality. CEXs, like Binance or Coinbase, offer a wide range of features such as fiat on-ramps, advanced trading tools, and user-friendly interfaces. DEXs, often with “Swap” in their names like Uniswap or PancakeSwap, focus primarily on token swaps, but they bring a unique feature that CEXs lack: liquidity pools.
Liquidity pools, a hallmark of DEXs, allow users to provide tokens to smart contracts, enabling peer-to-peer swaps while earning rewards. On S

About Liquidity crises
Liquidity crises, where the total value locked (TVL) in a pool drops too low to handle transaction volumes, often stem from news-driven volatility in specific tokens. This pattern, seen across blockchains - like when $BTC surges, fueling its own growth - disrupts DeFi ecosystems, making it critical to maintain stable liquidity in key pools.
STОNfi, the primary decentralized exchange (DEX) on the TON blockchain, counters this with its farming system. This system provides extra token rewards for liquidity providers, boosting APRs beyond standard levels without requiring t
