STON.fi: Revolutionizing Decentralized Trading on TON Blockchain
STON.fi is an automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX) that runs on the TON blockchain. It’s known for its virtually zero fees, low slippage, and seamless integration with TON wallets. The STON token is utility token on TON Blockchain integrated into the core mechanics of the STON.fi protocol. STON token also allows its holders to participate in the protocol governance and vote through long-term staking.
The STON.fi platform revolutionizes the DeFi ecosystem by addressing critical interoperability issues, enhancing security, and reducing transactional risks and costs. Today, transferring assets across different blockchain networks involves significant challenges, including potential financial loss due to reliance on third-party custodians, delays, security issues, and complex user scenarios.
STON.fi is a Request For Quote (RFQ)-based cross-chain exchange that relies on Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLC) to atomically execute cross-chain swaps. This approach eliminates the need for additional trusted entities and offers a combination of deep liquidity and price stability usually associated with RFQ-based exchanges, alongside uncompromising security typically found in intrachain DEXs. Since the protocol doesn’t make any trust assumptions for the participants, we define it as a Zero-Trust Cross-Chain DEX. Here’s why STON.fi is a game-changer in decentralized trading:
• Fully Decentralized: STON.fi doesn’t have access to your coins/tokens and never asks for personal information. Your assets are securely managed by you.
• Virtually Zero Trading Fees: The TON blockchain’s design enables STON.fi to offer low fees compared to other blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
• Low to Zero Slippage: Using liquidity pools and sophisticated algorithms, STON.fi ensures minimal price slippage, giving users the best rates for token swaps.
• Instant Token Swaps: Users can swap tokens instantly at the best rates, with the added benefit of earning from trading fees by providing liquidity to the platform.
Why Ethan and STON.fi Matter for the PadTON Hackathon
As the Head of Developer Relations at STON.fi, Ethan is uniquely positioned to evaluate the innovative solutions that will emerge from the hackathon.
