👛 Tonkeeper Pro: USDT TRC20 transfer fees in TON

Tonkeeper Pro wallet now supports paying fees in TON for USDT TRC20 transfers — making transactions almost 2x cheaper than paying with TRX.

Users can choose how to cover fees with Battery (which can be topped up via Apple Pay, TON, or TON-based tokens and used for any transaction), or with a TON balance that works for both TON and TRC20 transfers.

Tonkeeper Pro applies an optimized solution for TRC20 transactions, so paying fees in TON cuts costs by almost half compared to TRX. Savings may vary depending on network conditions.

Happy Birthday, STON.fi!

Three years ago, on November 20, 2022, STON.fi launched as a simple AMM protocol with one jetton and one goal: make DeFi on TON Blockchain feel natural. Since then, the protocol has scaled into TON’s largest DeFi product — with volume growing from $92K to $6.65B, users from 348 to 5.6M, swaps from 577 to 29.7M, and token pairs from 1 to more than 550.

A major milestone in this journey was the launch of Omniston, STON.fi’s decentralized liquidity aggregation protocol that now powers swaps across TON DeFi and supports hundreds of TON applications. In 2025, STON.fi also became the first protocol in the ecosystem to launch a DAO, on the way to transfer protocol governance directly to its community.

STON.fi’s presence has expanded globally — 66 events this year across Singapore, the UAE, Poland, Georgia, and more. The community has also grown to over 2M followers.

🙏 STON.fi DAO Is Now Live

Community members who staked their tokens can now participate directly in proposals, discussions, and vote on key decisions shaping the next stage of STON.fi’s development.

This step moves the protocol toward practical decentralization and sets a transparent governance model for TON Blockchain DeFi.

“For us, decentralization isn’t a slogan — it’s the point,” said Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev. “From the very beginning, STON.fi was built to serve the entire TON ecosystem — to be infrastructure everyone can rely on. The DAO makes that collaboration real. Now, the same people who use the protocol every day can guide where it goes next.”

🔝 Omniston by STON.fi — Solving Liquidity Fragmentation in TON DeFi

In this article, Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev, explains how Omniston tackles liquidity fragmentation on TON and outlines the next phase of liquidity infrastructure for the ecosystem, along with the next steps of Omniston’s evolution.

As TON DeFi scaled, liquidity didn’t grow evenly — it fragmented across thousands of pools and multiple DEXs, making price discovery inefficient and integrations expensive for builders. This created a need for an execution layer that could treat liquidity as a shared resource again.

Omniston arrived as a decentralized liquidity aggregator that consolidated key sources and simplified access for applications.
