Ton DeFi month: Highlights on new DEX models entering the Ecosystem
The Open Network (TON) ecosystem has recently seen the introduction of two exciting projects that bring alternative trade execution models and a brand-new derivatives DEX, providing users with diversified trading opportunities.
• ION Finance: ION Finance has become the first
concentrated liquidity DEX on TON, implementing a unique “bin” system within its Hybrid Order Book AMM. This model allows liquidity providers to allocate funds into specific price segments, or bins, concentrating liquidity where it’s most needed. This system not only enhances trading efficiency by reducing slippage but also maximizes returns for liquidity providers by focusing their capital in high-demand areas. By concentrating liquidity at specific price points, ION Finance has enabled users to enjoy better prices and optimized trades.
• DEX Diamonds: Recently launched as a
Jetton DEX aggregator, DEX Diamonds consolidates liquidity from
STON.fi and
DeDust into a single platform, providing users with better token prices and minimized slippage. Available on Telegram as a Mini App, DEX Diamonds empowers users by aggregating liquidity across multiple decentralized exchanges, enabling them to execute trades seamlessly without comparing prices or navigating various interfaces. This creates a highly efficient, cost-effective, and user-friendly experience that facilitates finding the best trading rates and executing larger trades easily.
• Tradoor: As a pioneering
derivatives DEX on TON, Tradoor offers users up to 100x leverage on Bitcoin and Ethereum Perpetuals. Tradoor is driven by its unique NDMM (Normal Distribution-Based AMM) pricing mechanism, which uses advanced mathematical models to ensure efficient pricing. NDMM calculates the deviation rate for each trading pair based on the variance between long and short positions, setting the premium rate with a normal distribution function. This method enables liquidity providers to consistently act as passive counterparties, which mitigates risks and maintains market stability while enhancing the trading experience.
Other Top DEXes in the TON ecosystem include:• STON.Fi: Built on the TON blockchain, STON.Fi is a secure, efficient
automated market maker (AMM) DEX. The platform operates seamlessly on Telegram as a bot and is celebrated for its near-zero trading fees and low slippage, making it ideal for token swaps. Users can stake tokens and add liquidity to the DEX to earn rewards in $STON. Fully integrated with TON wallets, STON.Fi also provides gas-free transactions by deducting fees directly from the token being swapped. With a current market cap exceeding $16 million, STON.fi has achieved remarkable success with over one million unique users, holding 84% of all DEX users on TON and concentrating 58% of TON’s liquidity. The platform plans to expand cross-chain functionality with future integrations for TON and TRON, followed by Polygon and other EVM-compatible chains, allowing users to swap assets across multiple networks.
• DeDust.io: DeDust.io brings a user-centric approach to DEX operations on the TON Blockchain, focusing on gas efficiency, extensibility, and minimal fees. The platform allows users to contribute liquidity, stake tokens, and bridge assets from Ethereum to TON, facilitating the easy transfer of WBTC and stablecoins. Uniquely, DeDust introduces an asset abstraction layer that facilitates swaps between various asset types, including native tokens from other blockchain networks, for a more streamlined trading experience. With a total value locked (TVL) of $289.6 million in its TON/USDT pool, DeDust.io has become one of the largest AMM DEXes on the TON Blockchain, featuring its native token, $SCALE, which has a market cap of over $100 million.
• Megaton Finance: One of the first autonomous financial protocols on TON, Megaton Finance enhances DeFi in TON with the features of an
Automated Market Maker (AMM) DEX and a scalable multi-chain protocol. The platform is powered by the MEGA token, enabling governance and community rewards for liquidity providers. With a market cap over $1 million, Megaton Finance has a distinct token distribution model that incentivizes community engagement. Its integration with other Layer 1 blockchains, like Ethereum, is made possible by the WTON Gateway and Orbit Bridge for seamless cross-chain transfers.
• Swap Coffee: Positioned as a comprehensive DEX, Swap Coffee connects liquidity on other DEXs like STON.fi and DeDust, serving as an all-in-one platform for efficient token trading. Alongside cross-chain trading capabilities, Swap Coffee plans to introduce advanced functionalities, such as limit orders on AMM DEXes and a DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) order feature. Built to be a “one-stop shop” for token-related activities on TON, Swap Coffee enables users to benefit from a suite of tools and services, from token swaps to token issuance and liquidity management.
• Mars DEX: Mars DEX combines the strengths of STON.fi and DeDust to provide an integrated trading experience with fast wallet connections and streamlined token swaps. It allows users to view profit and loss (PNL) on completed trades, which enhances trading performance insights. Mars DEX can also be accessed as a Mini App on Telegram, making it convenient for TON users to trade various tokens.
• Kibble Exchange: A comprehensive
DeFi hub on the TON blockchain, Kibble Exchange serves as a one-stop platform for token swaps, staking, and DeFi tools. The Kibble AMM offers token swaps with virtually zero trading fees and low slippage by aggregating liquidity from various sources. Kibble also launched a Telegram-based tapping game to reward its community with $KIB tokens, further incentivizing user engagement.
• Snapster Trading: Operating as a trading Mini App on Telegram, Snapster Trading facilitates the trading of memecoins and popular tokens within an engaging format. Snapster’s unique points farming system allows users to earn Snapster Points through daily bonuses, quests, and friend invites, adding a gamification element to the trading experience.
