Types of DEXs
We will examine two types of decentralized exchanges:
* Orderbook DEXs
* AMM DEX
Orderbook DEXs resemble centralized exchanges (CEX) in their interface and operational principles. Trading participants place their orders to buy or sell their cryptoassets on the exchange, and a deal is reached when the stated prices match. The transaction takes place only when there is a counter order for a transaction from another user.
Unlike on a CEX, where the exchange itself serves as the third party and is responsible for processing a transaction, the smart contract, i.e. self-executing software, takes care of this.
AMM DEXs (automated market maker DEXs), in principle, work similarly to currency exchange offices. They don’t use order books (lists of buy and sell orders). Their work is based on liquidity pools. Simply put, a liquidity pool represents cryptoassets offered by liquidity providers to perform a transaction on this kind of exchange for a small fee. Therefore, when you trade on an AMM DEX, you make a deal not with another seller or buyer, but with a smart contract, which withdraws funds from the liquidity pool and sends them over to you in exchange for your funds. In this case, the value of the assets is not determined by the wishes of the traders, but by a mathematical algorithm (naturally, you will see the price before making a transaction). This approach allows for a considerably simpler interface and process – to the user, all of this looks like a regular currency exchange office, when in fact there is a complex set of smart contracts matching the cryptoassets, evaluating their prices, and so on. STON.fi is an AMM DEX.

What is a seed phrase?
If you have a cryptocurrency wallet, you were most likely instructed to keep a phrase of 12 or 24 randomly-chosen words in a safe place. This very combination of words is a seed phrase. This phrase, as well as your private key, allows you full access to your wallet (although the seed phrase is not the same as the private key). You need the private key to confirm (or, so to say, ‘sign’) your transactions, but often you don’t even know what it is – the crypto wallet signs your transactions for you with your private key. As for the seed phrase, you can see it when you generate your wallet, and this is when you are supposed to note it and keep it in safe place. You can also use it when you need to restore your wallet, for example, on a different device.
Actually, you don’t need to know all this to use cryptocurrencies. You need to remember one thing – never and under no circumstances can your seed phrase (as well as the private key) be disclosed to anyone. There can be only one exception: when you want to give another person access to your wallet. Anyone who knows your seed phrase or your private key has your wallet in their full possession and can control all the cryptoassets in it.
Here’s a question: why not to use a long, complicated password of randomly-chosen symbols instead of the seed phrase? The answer is quite simple. With a complicated password, there are more opportunities to make a mistake, such as mixing up symbols. The price for a mistake in the crypto world is high. It is much easier to use regular words in a certain order and allow your wallet source code to generate the keys.

What AMM DEX is
For general information about DEXs, see the posts above. Here we will talk in more details about the AMM DEX protocol, which automatically calculates the cost of your assets and turns the decentralized exchange into a convenient currency exchange office.
Simply put, an AMM (automated market maker) is a robot that quotes a price for an asset. This is the price for which you can buy or sell this particular asset. This robot also gives you access to the liquidity pools and, consequently, to the cryptoassets available to exchange.
On the centralized exchanges (CEX), the price of the asset is determined by the sellers and buyers: the sellers set a price for the sale of their assets, and the buyers set a price for the purchase of the assets. When these two prices match, the exchange conducts the transaction.
Unlike on a CEX, the price of assets on an AMM DEX is not determined by the sellers or buyers, but by an algorithm. As a matter of fact, the transactions on an AMM are not performed between the buyer and the seller, but between the buyer and the smart contract or between the seller and the smart contract. Accordingly, the smart contract needs to calculate the price at which it is possible to buy and sell the assets at the given moment, including its own fee. This is the job of the algorithm, which calculates the current price of the asset according to certain rules. Then it is up to you to agree to sell or purchase the asset at the price offered by the smart contract.
Where can an AMM find assets if there is no counter order from another person? In this case, the assets are offered by liquidity providers for a certain fee. But we’ll talk about this next time.

We thank everyone who is sharing feedback on the platform; many even record videos for us!
It is only thanks to you that we can eliminate all the imperfections with the platform, and provide our users with the most convenient platform for exchanging tokens.
That said, we want to remind you that the contest rules require at least three exchanges on our DEX with changes in the slippage tolerance and the number of tokens. We noticed that not all participants have paid attention to this point.
Thank you all for participating, and good luck!🍀

We have received the following feedback in our chat:
"So far your strategy is very good; not rushing to claim to be “first” but making sure everything is professional. From 3 DEX this is the only one which explains things to visitors of the site. Education is important. Hopefully you’ll retain that when updating the site and at least include it in the menu. Also everything there actually works unlike other two which display things that don’t work and especially one is using the main site as a work in progress testing ground where buttons and menus don’t work yet. So we’ll see in the weeks ahead how you all develop! And I wish all three the very best and we’ll continue to give honest feedback"
Thank you for your kind words! We are working hard on the next stage of our demo, roadmap, white paper (with tokenomics revealed), API and many other important things. Stay tuned!

STON.fi's advantages as a DEX
STON.fi is a DEX. And we believe that a DEX is the only proper method of operating trades on a blockchain.
One of the main advantages of blockchain technology is decentralization (although there are some centralized blockchains and cryptocurrencies). And only this approach allows anyone free access to their assets and independence from the mood, regulations, and rules of third parties, such as the centralized exchanges or companies managed by the centralized blockchains.
The main advantage of decentralization is no control from any third party and, consequently, independence in dealing with your assets. In contrast, the assets of those who trade on the centralized exchanges are controlled by those exchanges.
With the decentralized exchanges, such as STON.fi, there is no special control system and you are the sole owner of your assets. But the risk is also on you alone. We’ll talk about this later.
Stay tuned!

TON Cross-chain Roadmap
The Open Network channel has just published the roadmap of bridges for altcoins and NFTs.
In Q3 2022 - 2023, we are expecting to see the functionality of transfers of any tokens from EVM-compatible blockchains to TON and back.
All operations will occur only through smart contacts without any intermediaries.
This is a very important news for TON and especially for DeFi on The Open Network that cannot be imagined without tokens from other blockchains.
As a DEX, we are interested in providing opportunities for operations with a large scale of jettons.
Although, there are several tokens already built on TON, we are sure that everyone would be glad to see ETH, MATIC, BNB and others on TON.
We are looking forward to seeing these cross-chain solutions!
P.S. Do not forget to enter our chat, we are willing to make it the center of DeFi discussions on TON. Soon it will become more active!
Have a nice weekend!

What Trustless Exchanges Are
Decentralized exchanges (DEXes) can genuinely be called trustless, as this is the best way to characterize their main distinction from the centralized currency and trading exchanges. To trade on a DEX, you don’t need to “trust” the exchange to perform transactions. DEXes work “without trust” – you may not know who is behind them, since DEXes work automatically. They are, in essence, a smart contract. A smart contract cannot fail to follow the instructions given to it – this is the definition of a system that functions without trust between the two parties.
Centralized exchanges (CEXes) generate orderbooks (price quotes for purchases and sales) to conduct trade, and systems of users’ accounts to identify buyers and sellers. The digital assets deposited on CEXes are mixed in with the general pool and stored in an unknown location. Users cannot monitor where their coins are and what is happening with them at any given time.
Such non-transparency in asset management is the main problem of CEXes and the reason for all the “technical failures,” “software errors,” and other incidents leading to the loss of traders’ funds. All funds deposited on CEXes are fully controlled by the exchange operators, who can use them however they want at any moment. Therefore, if you want to trade on a centralized exchange, you are just forced to trust it and hope that it will fulfill your order.
As mentioned above, you don’t need to trust a decentralized exchange, since it doesn’t have any register of users’ accounts, and traders use their own non-custodial digital wallets to initiate and approve their transactions on-chain (i.e. on the blockchain). These transactions take place and are validated in real time, are approved only within the limits of a certain sum, and the user signs every action – all of which lends multiple levels of control over what is happening. Compared to CEXes, where all transactions are conducted “under the hood” of the exchange, off-chain (i.e. without using a blockchain), DEXes offer traders unparalleled transparency.
Only the users themselves have access to their non-custodial wallets on a DEX. This ensures complete asset security which, by definition, is unattainable on the centralized exchanges.
