Someone asked me how staking on STON.fi works and what the APR actually means. Here's how I explained it.
A lot of people look at the APR, stake their TON, and move on. But the interesting part is understanding where those rewards actually come from.
When you stake through STON.fi, your TON is delegated to validators that help secure the network. In return, you receive tsTON, a liquid staking token that represents your staked TON.
The benefit is that your assets don't just sit there.
Your TON continues earning staking rewards, while tsTON gives you the flexibility to participate in the TON DeFi ecosystem instead of locking your capital away.
Now, about the APR.
APR, or Annual Percentage Rate, is simply an estimate of how much you could earn over a year if the reward rate stayed the same. The important thing is that it isn't fixed.
It changes depending on things like network activity, validator rewards, and how much TON is being staked across the network.
One detail I think is easy to miss is that rewards aren't paid into your wallet as separate tokens. Instead, the value of your tsTON gradually increases over time as staking rewards accumulate.
That's what makes liquid staking interesting. You're earning staking rewards while still having an asset you can use throughout the ecosystem.
Of course, APR can go up or down, so it's always worth doing your own research before staking or providing liquidity.
