The decentralized finance (DeFi) space is evolving rapidly, and TON (The Open Network) is emerging as one of the most promising ecosystems leading that transformation. At the heart of TON’s DeFi momentum stands Stonfi— a decentralized exchange purpose-built for the Telegram-native blockchain.

This past week has marked a significant leap for Stonfi and the TON ecosystem, proving once again that innovation in DeFi isn't slowing down — it’s accelerating. From seamless cross-chain bridging to viral meme tokens and lucrative farming pools, Stonfi is building the financial rails for a new era of accessible, Telegram-integrated DeFi.

Let’s explore how STON.fi is catalyzing growth in the ecosystem and why this matters to everyday users, developers, and liquidity providers.

1. Cross-Chain Innovation with SWITCH and PocketFi 2.0.

One of the most groundbreaking announcements this week was the launch of SWITCH, the token behind PocketFi 2.0. What makes SWITCH notable isn’t just its inclusion on Stonfi— it’s the bridge it introduces between the Solana and TON ecosystems.

Unlike traditional bridges that require cumbersome multi-step processes and external wallets, PocketFi 2.0 allows instant asset swaps between TON and Solana directly within Telegram. No SOL is required for fees, and users retain full custody of their assets at all times. This development effectively turns Telegram into a multi-chain DeFi hub — something that was nearly unimaginable just a year ago.

With this move, Stonfi isn't just adding a token — it's facilitating true interoperability between two leading Layer-1 blockchains, reducing friction for users and expanding the reach of TON-native DeFi.

2. BabyDoge Brings Meme Power to TON.

Another major highlight is the arrival of BabyDoge on Stonfi — a move that brings one of the crypto world’s most recognized meme tokens into the TON fold.

But BabyDoge isn’t just a meme anymore. It’s now a full-fledged multi-chain project with a thriving ecosystem:

  • BabyDogeSwap.

  • NFT Marketplace.

  • PAWS Clicker Game.

  • AI Image Generator.

The listing on Stonfi came with the launch of a two-week farming pool offering $10,000 in BabyDoge rewards — no lock-up period required. This not only incentivizes user participation but also boosts liquidity and visibility for both the token and the platform.

Meme tokens like BabyDoge bring energy, community, and culture to DeFi. Their inclusion on Stonfi reflects a broader trend of bridging serious financial tools with the fun, viral aspects of crypto, creating a space where newcomers and veterans alike can participate.

3 Farming Pools With Sky-High APRs.

Stonfi isn’t just a platform to swap tokens — it’s quickly becoming one of the most rewarding places to earn yield in the TON ecosystem.

Here’s a snapshot of the active farming APRs as of this week:

  • SWITCH/TON – 621% APR

  • ECOR/TON – 612% APR

  • BabyDoge/TON – 497% APR

The SWITCH/TON farm includes a 10,000 STON reward pool with a 30-day lock-up, while BabyDoge/TON offers $10,000 in token rewards without any lock period. These options provide flexible, high-yield opportunities for users, depending on their risk appetite and investment strategy.

In an era where traditional finance struggles to offer even 5% APY, these DeFi rates are drawing significant attention — and rightly so.

4. The Crypto4Everyone Initiative.

Stonfi also announced its participation in the #Crypto4Everyone movement led by Bitget Wallet. This initiative emphasizes inclusivity and ease-of-use — critical factors for onboarding the next wave of users into DeFi.

DeFi can often feel intimidating to newcomers, but platforms like STON.fi are working hard to change that. With Telegram-native interfaces, simple onboarding flows, and user-friendly tools, Stonfi is actively lowering the barrier to entry for everyday users, regardless of their technical background.

5. By the Numbers: Growing Volume and TVL.

  • Stonfi’s impact isn't just theoretical — it’s quantifiable.

  • Weekly Trading Volume: 3.4M TON (~$23.8M)

  • Total Value Locked (TVL): 20.1M TON (~$60.7M)

  • Liquidity Provider Earnings: 15,500 TON (~$46,100) this week

These metrics reflect real usage, real value, and real rewards — a testament to how active and healthy the TON DeFi landscape has become.

Final Thoughts: Why STON.fi Matters.

What Stonfi is doing goes beyond launching tokens and setting up farms. It’s creating the infrastructure for a new kind of DeFi — one that’s social, mobile-first, multi-chain, and user-friendly. Whether you’re a seasoned yield farmer, a Telegram power user, or someone just getting started, Stonfi offers a powerful gateway into the future of finance on TON.

As DeFi continues to mature, platforms that prioritize accessibility, innovation, and community will define the next chapter. Stonfi is already writing that story — and the best part? It’s all happening in Telegram, right in the palm of your hand.
