TWO WAYS TO MOVE FUNDS FROM ETHEREUM, BNB Chain, and Base into TON DeFi
In August 2026, STON.fi published a breakdown of how traders actually get assets from Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Base into TON DeFi. There are only two routes, and they behave very differently once funds leave the source chain.
A bridge locks or burns the original asset and mints a wrapped version on the destination chain. That wrapped token depends on the bridge staying solvent and secure for as long as it is held. An atomic swap, by contrast, settles through a resolver using a hash time locked contract. Either both sides of the trade complete, or the whole swap reverts and funds return to the sender. Nothing sits wrapped, and nothing is left in a pending state.
STON.fi's cross chain flow uses the second model through Omniston, its liquidity execution layer. A trader on Base holding USDC can swap directly into TON assets without a separate bridge step, a wrapped token, or a manual claim transaction.
For anyone comparing routes into TON, the practical difference is custody. A bridge asset carries the bridge's risk indefinitely. An atomic swap either finishes or it does not happen at all.
