Most crypto losses on decentralized exchanges don’t happen because of hacks or complex smart contract bugs.
They happen because people click “Swap” before they check anything.
On The Open Network (TON), this problem is especially common. New tokens appear every day. Some are legitimate projects. Many are low-effort copies or outright traps. The interface looks clean, the numbers look exciting, and the urge to FOMO is strong.
The good news? You already have free tools that can filter out most of the garbage in under 30 seconds. One of the best is the Trust Score system built directly into STON.fi, the leading DEX on TON, powered by DYOR.io.
This article walks you through exactly how to use it, with real screenshots as proof.
Why Most People Still Get Rekt
When you open a swap interface, the default view shows you two numbers: how much you send and how much you receive. Everything else is hidden behind a few taps.
Scammers know this. They create tokens with attractive names, flashy logos, and artificial price movement. The average user sees a green candle and hits swap. Only later do they notice the token has almost no holders, an enormous supply, or a contract that can be changed at any time.
On TON, transaction fees are extremely low and confirmation is fast. That speed is great for users and equally great for people who want to move quickly before anyone notices the red flags.
Meet the Tool That Changes the Game
STON.fi is the dominant decentralized exchange on TON. It handles the majority of swap volume on the network and integrates directly with popular TON wallets.
Inside the swap interface, when you select a token, a detailed panel appears. At the top of that panel is a Trust Score a number from 0 to 100 calculated by DYOR.io.
The score is based on multiple on-chain and off-chain factors, including
:
- Token age
- Number of holders
- Liquidity depth
- Trading history
- Contract behavior
- Distribution patterns
It is not a guarantee of safety. No score ever is. But it is one of the fastest and most practical filters currently available on TON
How to Check a Token in Practice
Here’s the exact process, based on real screenshots from the STON.fi app:
1. Open the Swap tab on app.ston.fi
2. Select the token you want to receive
3. Tap the token name or the info icon
4. Look at the Trust Score panel that appears
Let’s examine three real examples side by side.
Example 1: STON (the native token of the DEX)
Trust Score: 92
Age: 3 years 2 months
Total supply: approximately 100 million
Holders: 71.16K
This is what a mature, widely held token looks like. High score, multi-year history, tens of thousands of holders. The distribution is broad enough that no single wallet can easily manipulate the market.
Example 2: tsTON (Tonstakers liquid staking token)
Trust Score: 100
Age: 2 years 4 months
Total supply: around 110 million
Holders: 141.35K
A perfect score. Extremely high holder count. This is the profile of a legitimate, widely adopted product in the TON ecosystem.
Example 3: CHERRY
Trust Score: 74
Age: 2 years 4 months
Total supply: 100 billion
Holders: only 3.64K
Still above the “average” threshold of 50, but the combination of a massive supply and a very low number of holders is a clear warning sign. The score is decent, yet the fundamentals look weaker than the first two examples.
Seeing these three panels next to each other makes the difference obvious. You don’t need to be a blockchain expert. The contrast is visual and immediate.
How to Read the Numbers Like a Pro
Use this simple mental checklist every time you open a token panel:
- Trust Score 90+ → Generally safer territory. Still verify the project, but the on-chain data looks healthy.
- 70–89 → Proceed with caution. Dig into the website, team, and community.
- Below 50 → High risk. Most experienced users simply walk away.
- Age → Tokens older than 1–2 years have survived more market cycles. Brand-new tokens carry higher risk by default.
- Holders → A few hundred holders is a red flag. Several thousand is better. Tens of thousands is usually healthier.
- Supply → Extremely large supplies (tens or hundreds of billions) combined with low holders often signal dilution risk or poor tokenomics.
Also check the contract address. On STON.fi it is shown clearly. You can copy it and verify it on a TON explorer if you want extra confirmation.
Extra Habits That Separate Survivors from Casualties
Checking the Trust Score is the first filter. Here are a few more habits that compound your safety:
- Never swap large amounts of a token you’ve never researched. Start small.
- Look at liquidity. Low liquidity means high slippage and easy price manipulation.
- Avoid tokens that only exist on one obscure pool.
- Be suspicious of aggressive social media campaigns pushing a brand-new token.
- Remember that a high Trust Score does not mean “guaranteed to go up.” It only means the token looks less likely to be an obvious scam based on current data.
The Real Advantage
The biggest edge on TON is not finding the next 100x. It is avoiding the 50 tokens that go to zero while you wait for the one that might work.
Most people treat DEXes like casinos. A smaller group treats them like tools. The second group uses the information that is already sitting in front of them the Trust Score, the holder count, the age, the supply.
Those few extra seconds of checking cost almost nothing. The money they save can be significant.
Next time you open @STONfi DEX and select a token, take the extra moment. Look at the number. Look at the holders. Look at the age.
That small habit is one of the highest-ROI decisions you can make in crypto.
Stay curious. Stay careful. And always do your own research with the tools that actually make it easy.

Ever looked at a DeFi farm showing a big APR or thousands of free tokens and thought, “This has to be easy money”?
You’re not alone. Most people do.
But here’s the truth: that big number on the screen is only one small part of the story. Liquidity farming can be useful and even rewarding when you understand how it actually works. When you don’t, it can quietly cost you.
Let’s walk through it together in plain English, using real examples from STON.fi (one of the biggest DEXs on the TON blockchain). No complicated jargon. Just clear explanations so you can decide for yourself.
This is educational only. Not financial advice. Always do your own research and check the latest numbers on the STON.fi app before doing anything with your money.
What Exactly Is Liquidity Farming?
Think of a decentralized exchange like a busy market. For people to trade tokens smoothly, the market needs plenty of goods on the shelves. Those “shelves” are called liquidity pools shared pots that hold pairs of tokens, for example STON and USDT.
When you put your tokens into one of these pools, you become a liquidity provider. In return, the platform gives you LP tokens. These are like a digital receipt that proves how much of the pool belongs to you. On STON.fi, you get them automatically the moment you add liquidity.
Farming is the extra layer on top. Some pools pay additional token rewards to people who keep their liquidity in the pool. The simple flow looks like this:
Add liquidity → Receive LP tokens → Stake the LP tokens in the farm → Possibly earn extra rewards
Notice the word “possibly.” The rewards are incentives, not a guaranteed salary.
Why Do Farms Even Exist?
Exchanges need deep liquidity so traders can swap without big price slips. But people won’t just lock up their tokens for free forever.
So projects offer farming rewards as a thank-you (and a way to attract more liquidity). It’s a three-way deal:
- Traders get smoother swaps
- Liquidity providers can earn trading fees plus farm rewards
- The project gets stronger markets for its tokens
That’s the basic engine behind most DeFi farming.
What’s Currently Farming on STON.fi?
Details change often, so always double-check the app. Here’s a clear snapshot of the main active farms (as of late August 2026):
STON/USDT
STON is the native token of the STON.fi protocol itself.
- 10,000 STON paid out every month
- Ongoing farm, no LP token lock-up
- Boost available: eligible STON stakers can get up to 2× the farm APR (usually by staking 500+ or 1,000+ STON). The boost has been running through the end of August in recent campaigns, with a typical per-user liquidity limit around $10,000.
This one shows how holding and staking the platform’s own token can give you an extra edge.
JETTON/USDT and JETTON/GRAM
JETTON belongs to JetTon Games, a GameFi project on TON.
- Each farm pays 200,000 JETTON per month
- Both run until 31 December 2026
- No LP lock-up
Same reward token, different pairs. That difference matters a lot for risk.
STORM/GRAM
STORM is connected to a perpetual trading platform on TON.
- 30,000 STORM every day
- Ongoing, no lock-up
A large daily number looks exciting until you remember that the real value depends on the token’s price and your share of the total farm.
The Truth About APR
A high APR does not mean your money will grow by that percentage.
APR is just an estimate based on today’s reward rate and today’s farm size. It can drop (or rise) when more people join, when rewards change, or when token prices move. Treat it as a snapshot, not a promise.
LP Tokens Your Receipt
LP tokens are simply proof that you own a piece of the pool. They’re not meant for speculation. They’re your claim on the liquidity you provided. When there’s no lock-up (like in these current farms), you can usually unstake and withdraw when you want just pay the normal network fees.
The One Risk You Must Understand: Impermanent Loss
This is the part many beginners skip and later regret.
Suppose you add equal amounts of Token A and Token B. If one token’s price moves a lot compared with the other, the pool automatically rebalances. When you leave, you may get back a different mix of tokens than you put in.
The difference between simply holding the tokens versus providing liquidity is called impermanent loss. It only becomes permanent when you withdraw.
Farming rewards can help cover some of this, but they don’t cancel the risk. High APR never equals guaranteed profit.
A Smarter Way to Choose a Farm
Forget “Which one has the biggest number?” Ask these instead:
1. Do I actually understand both tokens in the pair?
2. What token am I earning as a reward and how volatile is it?
3. Can the APR change, and how often?
4. What happens if prices move sharply?
5. Is there any lock-up?
6. Have I researched the project behind the tokens?
This simple checklist turns farming from a gamble into a thoughtful decision.
Why Liquidity Actually Matters
Healthy DeFi needs liquidity the same way a city needs roads. Without it, trading becomes expensive and slow. Liquidity providers supply those roads. Farming is just one tool projects use to encourage people to build them.
It’s not only about personal yield. It’s about how the whole system works together.
Final Thoughts
@STONfi DEX farms (STON/USDT, the two JETTON pairs, STORM/GRAM and others) are useful real examples of how liquidity farming works on TON. Different assets, different reward tokens, different timelines perfect for learning.
Before you put any money in:
- Understand the pool
- Understand the rewards
- Understand APR
- Understand impermanent loss
- Understand the risks
And always DYOR.
In DeFi, knowing how the system works will serve you far better than chasing the flashiest number on the screen.
