STON.fi’s Omniston offers a different model for cross-chain DeFi: exchange value between independent blockchains without creating a wrapped version of the source asset.
TON and Ethereum operate independently, so native assets cannot simply move between them. Omniston coordinates swaps through resolvers, Request for Quote (RFQ), and Hashed Timelock Contracts (HTLCs).
Resolvers are liquidity providers competing to fulfill orders. The user specifies the source asset, amount, destination asset and receiving wallet. Omniston sends an RFQ to available resolvers, which return executable quotes. The selected resolver commits destination liquidity, creating an incentive to complete the trade.
HTLCs provide the cryptographic settlement layer. Both sides are linked by the same secret and hash condition. When the secret is revealed, the user can claim the destination asset, while the resolver can claim the source asset. A timelock adds protection: if settlement is not completed in time, the refund path becomes available.
The flow is simple: select assets and wallet, request quotes, review output and costs, authorize the source transaction, let the resolver commit destination liquidity, and complete settlement. If the condition expires, the refund mechanism applies.
The key difference from a traditional bridge is the asset model. A conventional bridge may lock Asset A and issue wrapped Asset A on another chain. Omniston instead aims for:
Asset A → atomic cross-chain swap → native Asset B
The destination asset comes from resolver liquidity, not a wrapped representation of the source asset.
Resolvers create a competitive marketplace. Larger orders can also use partial fills.
Before confirming, check output, fees, destination network, receiving address and required gas carefully.
Omniston connects TON and networks such as Ethereum through competitive liquidity, native destination assets, cryptographic settlement and defined refund conditions.
