TON DeFi by the Numbers: When Liquidity and Distribution Converge TON DeFi didn't grow by accident. It was only able to scale because infrastructure and distribution finally aligned. On one hand, there's over $650 million in DeFi TVL locked across the TON protocol. This represents real-world usage—swaps, liquidity provisioning, yield strategies, and on-chain activity that compound over time. On the other hand, there's Telegram, one of the world's largest distribution engines, already incorporating hundreds of millions of users into the TON ecosystem through wallets, bots, and mini-apps. This combination changes the growth trajectory. Liquidity without users is idle. Users without liquidity can't transact efficiently. TON solved both of these problems simultaneously. Telegram lowered the barrier to entry to near zero. Wallet creation, onboarding, and discovery happen within the apps people already use daily. DeFi no longer feels like a standalone product, but a native feature. As TVL increases, protocols become more capital-efficient. As distribution expands, liquidity spreads deeper and faster. This feedback loop is why TON DeFi is behaving differently than before. It's not just big numbers that matter, but how those numbers are formed. TON shows what can happen when you build DeFi with infrastructure first and distribution baked in from the start.

Getting Started: Your First xStocks Swap xStocks was built to eliminate the usual friction associated with investing in real-world assets. No broker required. No paperwork required. No waiting days for approval. With xStocks on TON, the entire process happens on-chain, in your wallet. Here's how it actually works: Connect your TON wallet, select the xStocks you want, and swap them using your assets. The transaction settles on-chain within minutes, and the xStocks appear directly in your wallet as TON tokens. That's it. There are no separate accounts to manage, no centralized platform to store assets, and no hidden processes going on in the background. The strength of this system is its accessibility: Anyone with a wallet can invest in real-world assets without geographic restrictions or traditional gatekeepers. xStocks transforms access to stocks into a simple swap, similar to how DeFi works.

🗿 Inside STON.fi’s strategy: insights from our CMO & CBDO on scaling TON’s DeFi ecosystem.

The most powerful DeFi protocols are not the loudest, but the most deeply rooted. STON.fi is positioned as TON's default liquidity layer, enabling swaps through integration and routing that users don't need to see. STON.fi's strength lies not in its flashy interface or hype. It's its deep infrastructure that runs quietly in the background, allowing developers to build on TON without worrying about liquidity gaps or complex token routing. As more apps integrate STON.fi, users will enjoy a smoother experience. Swaps are executed instantly, seamlessly, and imperceptibly. For developers, STON.fi provides a reliable and configurable foundation to confidently scale products, release new features, and expand the ecosystem. With an expanding liquidity pool, strengthened community governance, and ecosystem-wide adoption, STON.fi will become more than just a DEX; it will become the backbone of TON DeFi, enabling an ecosystem where growth, efficiency, and ease of use naturally blend. With liquidity in sight, adoption becomes inevitable, and TON’s DeFi future is being quietly built by STON.fi.

True DeFi maturity will be evident when users stop noticing its existence. STON.fi will be built directly into the TON app through native integration and smart routing, moving swaps and liquidity to background processes rather than user tasks. The result? A cleaner UX for users. A stronger foundation for builders. And so the ecosystem will quietly grow.
