STON.fi Weekly Round-Up: More Than Just Numbers
STON.fi's latest weekly update shows how quickly the $TON DeFi landscape is becoming more connected with Telegram integrations, cross-chain infrastructure, new wallet access, and growing DeFi activity all moving together.
Let's break down what this update actually means. ๐
1. STON.fi's latest milestone
According to the update, STON.fi ranks:
#4 among 100 $TON apps by monthly financially active wallets
#1 among TON DeFi protocols
This is an important metric because financially active wallets indicate users actually interacting with financial applications not simply holding assets.
For a DeFi protocol, continued user activity can be a useful signal of adoption and ecosystem participation.
2. WenLong brings Hyperliquid perps to Telegram
WenLong is bringing leveraged perpetual trading on Hyperliquid directly into Telegram.
The interesting part is what happens underneath:
TON โ Arbitrum โ Hyperliquid
According to STON.fi, Omniston handles the cross-chain route from $TON to Arbitrum behind the scenes.
This demonstrates an important use case for cross-chain infrastructure:
Users can interact with an application through a familiar environment while the infrastructure coordinates the underlying blockchain movement.
For builders, STON.fi is also making its SDK and Omniston documentation available for projects that want to build similar experiences.
3. Omniston powers swaps inside My Wallet
My Wallet has integrated Omniston into its swap aggregator.
Instead of users manually comparing multiple DEXs, Omniston can check rates across connected decentralized exchanges and help identify a competitive route.
The integration also makes tokenized assets such as:
AAPLx โข NVDAx โข TSLAx
available for swapping through the wallet.
This highlights an important direction for DeFi:
Infrastructure doesn't always need to be visible to the user.
The wallet provides the interface.
Omniston works underneath to coordinate liquidity and execution.
4.X Layer joins the cross-chain ecosystem
STON.fi also added X Layer to its supported cross-chain ecosystem.
Users can now access supported USDC and USDT0 on X Layer through cross-chain swaps involving TON and other supported networks.
Every additional network adds potential routes and liquidity connections.
The bigger vision is to reduce the fragmentation that exists between blockchains.
Instead of users thinking:
> โWhich chain do I need to use?โ
The experience moves closer to:
> โWhat do I want to swap?โ
6. Gram Wallet and the future of Telegram DeFi
STON.fi also joined WenLong, Gram Store, and DTrade to discuss the potential impact of Gram Wallet coming to Telegram.
The discussion focused on how trading, token launches, and DeFi are already entering Telegram-native experiences and what new opportunities could emerge for builders.
This matters because Telegram can serve as a major distribution layer for TON.
If wallet access becomes easier, builders can potentially create more applications that users interact with without leaving the environment they're already familiar with.
6. What do the farming numbers tell us?
The update also shared APRs from active farms:
๐ธ USDT/JETTON โ 50% APR
๐ธ GRAM/JETTON โ 27% APR
๐ธSTON/USDT โ 14% APR
๐ธ STON/USDT Boost Farm โ 28% APR
But here's an important reminder:
APR is not guaranteed profit.
APR can change, and liquidity providers remain exposed to risks such as token price volatility and impermanent loss.
So these figures should be treated as current farming rates, not promises of future returns.
7.The numbers behind the week
STON.fi reported:
๐ธ $20.9M weekly swap volume
๐ธ $26.9M TVL
๐ธ Approximately $38,000 distributed to liquidity providers that week
These numbers tell different parts of the story.
Swap volume shows trading activity.
TVL (Total Value Locked) indicates the amount of assets deposited in the protocol's liquidity ecosystem.
And the amount received by liquidity providers shows that users supplying liquidity can participate in the economic activity generated by the protocol.
But none of these metrics alone tells the complete story.
The bigger picture
What stands out from this weekly update isn't one individual announcement.
It's how the pieces are starting to connect:
TON provides the ecosystem.
Telegram provides a huge user environment.
Wallets provide access.
Builders create applications.
Liquidity supports markets.
Omniston connects routes and coordinates cross-chain execution.
STON.fi provides DeFi infrastructure around these experiences.
That is the bigger story behind the numbers.
DeFi isn't just about building another place to swap tokens.
It's about creating infrastructure that allows users, liquidity, wallets, applications, and different blockchains to interact more seamlessly.
The more connected the ecosystem becomes, the less users should have to think about the complexity underneath.
That's the direction worth watching.
