This STON.fi Feature Makes More Sense After Trying It
I tried STON.fi’s new custom-address option today.
Instead of connecting a wallet on both sides of the swap, I kept my source wallet connected and entered a different wallet as the destination.
That means you can swap from one wallet while having the resulting tokens sent somewhere else.
I think that’s useful if you separate your trading and holding wallets, or simply need to send the output to another address.
The only part I’d slow down on is the final check. When you’re entering a destination address yourself, make sure the address and network are correct before confirming.
I Tested STON.fi’s Three New DeFi Tools Before Looking at Liquidity Pools
Whenever I look at liquidity pools, my first instinct is usually to compare APR.
This time I decided to slow down and test STON.fi’s three new DeFi tools first.
I started with the APR Calculator, changing deposit amounts, APR values and investment duration to see how different scenarios affected projected returns.
After that I moved to the Impermanent Loss Calculator.
What I found most useful wasn’t the impermanent loss percentage itself, but the comparison between simply holding the assets and providing them as liquidity.
Seeing both outcomes together made the concept much easier to understand.
Finally, I joined the STON.fi Pools Updates channel.
Instead of opening different pools every day, it keeps me informed through regular APR updates.
After using all three tools together, I don’t think of them as separate features anymore.
They’ve become part of my own process before evaluating liquidity opportunities.
They’re not investment advice, but they’re definitely useful for making more informed decisions.
Exploring different assets on Ston_fi has made me realize that discovery inside a DEX doesn’t always feel intentional.
Sometimes you open the interface just to perform a simple swap, and end up noticing completely different tokens and activity you weren’t initially looking for.
That small shift is interesting because it turns the platform from a simple tool into something closer to an exploration environment.
Even when you’re not actively researching, you still end up learning something new about the ecosystem just by interacting with it.
That’s something I didn’t expect when I first started using it.
Liquidity depth plays a critical role in decentralized trading.
It determines how much a trade affects market price. Pools with stronger liquidity allow larger swaps with minimal price movement, while shallow pools experience higher price impact.
When evaluating where to trade, liquidity strength should be considered alongside price.
