Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
DeFi (Decentralized finance) is a general term denoting various financial applications based on the blockchain and cryptocurrencies that are aimed at creating an alternative financial system that works without intermediaries.
When any such DeFi applications are created, equal participants of the community have access to copies of their transaction histories. Consequently, the transactions are not controlled by any centralized body, which means that they cannot be altered or falsified.
In terms of functional potential, DeFi applications offer the full range of traditional financial instruments, but often provide a higher income due to the lack of financial intermediaries.
There are no access restrictions – anyone, including those who do not have access to the resources of the conventional banking system, can use DeFi potentials.
The DeFi industry is relatively young, and the amount of funds in financial applications is changing rapidly due to various factors. For example, the spring 2022 liquidity crisis in Terra, a large DeFi ecosystem, led to a significant outflow of funds from DeFi, and the total value locked (TVL) decreased from $250 mln to $76 mln. However, this isn’t the first time such things have happened in DeFi networks.
The TVL amount in DeFi can be monitored using, for instance, the DeFi Llama platform. In its research on DeFi, the Messari analytical agency claims that the “economy of users,” in contrast to the traditional “economy of institutions,” will grow by several orders of magnitude by 2030.
💎DeFi on TON is coming soon as well! And STON.fi plans to be an integral component of it.

🥌Bridges, Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), Wrapped ETH (wETH), and other wrapped tokens: what do we need them for?
🗿Wrapped tokens are cryptocurrencies issued on blockchains that differ from the blockchains of basic coins.
🗿For example, Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) is analogous to Bitcoin on other blockchains, such as Ethereum. So what is its purpose?
🗿Bitcoin owners need wBTC, for instance, to earn funds using financial applications based on Ethereum without having to exchange their Bitcoin for tokens of the Ethereum standard.
🗿Under normal circumstances, tokens issued on one blockchain cannot be transferred to another. Wrapped tokens lend cryptocurrency holders the opportunities of the cross-chain, making exchanges and other transactions between different blockchains possible.
🗿To create wrapped tokens, we need a custodian that will accept and store the user’s BTC and generate wrapped liquidity of equal value. Consequently, when the exchange is reversed, the custodian will eliminate the wrapped tokens to prevent situations in which new tokens materialize out of thin air.
🗿The role of the custodian in DeFi can be played by a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) or, for example, by the bridges’ smart contracts.

🥌The role of oracles in DeFi
An oracle is software that finds and confirms data from the outside world (off-chain) and transfers it to the smart contracts on the blockchain (on-chain).
One particularly illustrative example is the transfer of information from exchanges and price aggregators to the smart contract controlling the liquidity pool. The information oracles transfer contains the prices of different cryptocurrencies represented in the liquidity pool. In a general sense, an oracle is any service that can transfer to the blockchain data it does not possess.
🗿Oracles can be centralized (i.e. managed by one organization) or decentralized (managed by a DAO): the former are considered more vulnerable due to the risk of providing subjective information (i.e. there is a risk of fraud); the latter are more reliable because they analyze information from many sources and summarize it in so-called trustless results.
Oracles are also divided by type of information transmission into incoming (transmitting data to the blockchain) and outgoing (transmitting data from the blockchain off-chain). As regards their method of data collection, oracles can be software (connected to digital data sources via API) and hardware (connected by any method to physical data sources – video cameras, motion or temperature sensors, or RFID).
🗿Since the DeFi system is based on the use of self-executing smart contracts with no intermediaries, operating it without oracles would be virtually impossible. At the DeFi system’s nascence, oracles were at high risk of attacks by hackers to manipulate data. As the DeFi system develops and the number of oracles under DAO management grows, these risks are minimized.

What is an IDO?
As you remember, the first IDO in the TON ecosystem is coming up very soon. In this regard, let us remind you what IDO is and what its stages are.
IDO (initial dex offering)—is the opportunity to buy tokens of the project before its appearance on the decentralized exchanges at a fixed price.
1. IDO Announcement
Everything begins with an announcement: prospective investors get acquainted with the project and its team and decide whether it is worth investing in it. It is important at this stage to analyze the project: study the product, the team, and its investors; check what they write about it in the media.
2. Open registration for a token sale
If the project seems interesting, the investor can apply for participation in a token sale. At this stage, it is possible to get the right to redeem the tokens at a reduced price before they are listed on the exchange. Allocations are a limited number of tokens that can be redeemed by a single investor. Buying rights are usually distributed by lottery.
3. Token Sale Day
Investors who are given the opportunity to redeem an allocation can purchase project tokens at a fixed price on the Launchpad. This can be compared to the pre-sale mechanics of NFT collections, where a limited number of users can buy the token they are interested in. Joining the project at this stage is a profitable opportunity to invest in the project before it appears on DEX.
4. Listing the project on DEX for free trading
As soon as the token price goes on DEX, the price of the token goes into free float. At this point every Toncoin holder can buy or sell the project's tokens. Prospective project tokens are usually in high demand, which causes the market price to rise actively from the start of trading.
Be aware of the risks when investing in projects: investments can lead to a total loss of money. No project can promise you instant profits. Do not forget this.

🥌What is the Cross-chain Decentralized Exchange (CDEX)?
The Cross-chain Decentralized Exchange allows participants to use one platform to exchange tokens issued on different blockchains via the DeFi system, i.e. without third parties that could potentially change the transaction course and asset price.
🗿Hashbon Rocket or, say, O3Swap, are considered to be the first DeFi applications that used CDEX opportunities. Transactions on the CDEX are made with the involvement of oracles and arbitrageurs; the former provide the platform with confirmed data collected off-chain, and the latter are holders of a considerable number of tokens of this particular platform. Together, they guarantee the security and transparency of the transaction.
CDEXes are aggregators of various digital assets. In order to work efficiently, they need to generate liquidity pools of assets distributed on different blockchains. Namely, it is the number and diversity of liquidity pools that attract the participants and liquidity providers to the CDEX.

🥌What is a Smart Contract?
A smart contract is a digital agreement with a set of rules that works on a certain blockchain, such as TON.
The computer code of the smart contract is copied by all validator nodes (computers) connected to the blockchain, which makes the code transparent, unchangeable, and secure.
🗿Smart contracts allow blockchain participants to interact without trust, that is, to make anonymous remote transactions with each other in full confidence that the transactions will be fulfilled in compliance with all the requirements, or will be canceled if the rules are violated.
Smart contracts are autonomous and work 24/7 without human involvement.
Smart contracts are immutable — it is impossible to revise the operating instructions of a smart contract after it is launched (unless such an opportunity was originally established by the developers themselves, but that's a completely different story).
🗿Smart contracts are transparent — the source code, which is based on the public blockchain, is available for anyone to analyze, and thus any vulnerabilities will be detected immediately. Transactions conducted through smart contracts have no need for bureaucracy, and such operations are therefore practically free for users (with the exception of the gas required for the transaction).
Digital wallets, tokenized assets, exchanges, games, DAO communities, and any other applications (DApps) on blockchains can be created with the help of smart contracts.
Lots of announcements are coming soon.
Stay tuned!💎

Dear Community,
We are at the final stage of code review.
In several days, within the framework of testing, we will open the Demo Stage 2.
Aside from swaps, you will be able to test a liquidity provision.
We have added the Fake USD token (FUSD) to Redston and Moonston tokens, which you already know from the previous stage of Demo, in order to make operations more interesting.
None of the tokens have monetary value, so all coincidences are random.
🏅The testers will get rewards as in the previous stage.
Prepare your wallets and stay tuned for the announcements!

Dear users,
STON.fi is a Jetton-to-Jetton exchange, where you will be able to swap one jetton to another (including future stablecoins) without swapping for Toncoin as a connecting link.
Since Toncoin is not a TON-jetton, jettons cannot be exchanged for TON directly.
To make these swaps possible, we have created wTON (Wrapped Toncoin), which is a TON-jetton that can be directly traded in pairs with all tokens on TON.
Here you can read the whole text specially prepared for you by our team to explain what wTON is and why it is required:

🥌How to Generate a TON Wallet
If you want to keep and transfer Toncoins on the TON Blockchain, or issue and buy NFTs on TON, or perform other operations related to receiving and spending coins (including operations on STON.fi DEX), you will need a wallet compatible with the TON blockchain. Creating such a wallet couldn’t be easier:
🗿Go to https://ton.org/wallets and check the catalog of custodial and non-custodial wallets.
🗿Which TON wallet should you choose? The most common types of wallets are the smartphone app, desktop app, plug-in for Chrome browser, Telegram bot, and web wallet (which works via browser).
We prefer the plug-ins for Chrome and mobile apps, and we think they in particular are the best introduction to the TON world. The plug-ins make it convenient to work from a PC, transfer and receive Tons, and sign transactions, for example, when working with the NFT marketplace.
With the mobile applications, it is easier to transfer and receive Tons and other tokens (the TON blockchain calls them jettons). Many users find it convenient to work with the Telegram bot (@wallet). But you should be aware that it is a custodial wallet, which means that you don’t have a private key, and in fact you don’t own the funds in it – you can only manage them.
Note: to interact with STON.fi DEX you will need Tonkeeper, Tonhub or TON Wallet
🗿Have you decided which wallet you need? It depends on your goals and the method of installation on your device (PC, smartphone, application, or plug-in for browser). Please follow the instructions strictly when installing the application. Most importantly, keep the seed phrase of 24 words in a safe place.
🗿Congratulations! Now you have a wallet for work with the TON blockchain and STON.fi DEX. You are now able to receive and transfer coins. You can receive and transfer NFTs. You can even keep those NFTs in some of these wallets.

You are cool; you broke what you could!
No critical infrastructure was damaged. Our smart contracts performed perfectly, and all operations in blockchain were executed: swaps, liquidity provision, and removal.
Apparently, there were some issues with the faucet 🤖, but they turned out not to be issues at all for some users who received many more jettons than expected!💰
That’s what a demo is for! We needed to eliminate all of these issues before listing the real jettons.
However, we have to say that everything was easy to fix so far. You can do better! Break it! Destroy the smart contracts and the blockchain! 😉

Yesterday we managed to break something.
We hoped that it wouldn’t happen, but we expected something like it.

Demo Stage 2: Stats📈
While you are unsuccessfully trying to break our smart contracts, we would like to share some statistics after three days of the Demo.
🥌From the moment of the Demo Stage 2 start (about 100hrs) our liquidity providers earned the following yields:
RED/MOON: +0.55%, 67% APY
RED/FUSD: +0.12%, 15% APY
MOON/FUSD: +1.45%, +176% APY
We recall that these are 0,2% from each trade in pairs that go to liquidity providers.
MOON exchange rate grew 4 times while RED's one remained the same.
The Demo is still on! Go to https://demo.ston.fi/swap and take part!
All functions are demonstrating stable work! Thank you for trying it out and being with us!

🥌What Is a Soulbound Token?
As we already mentioned, if you participate in our Demo Stage 2 (and you can do it right now!) you can get a unique Soulbound Token on TON blockchain. Let's figure out what a Soulbound is, how it differs from a regular NFT, why it's very cool to have it, and why Soulbound is the future.
Vitaly Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, proposed the creation of NFTs that could be issued for one specific address on the blockchain. This means they'd be owned by only one user and impossible to sell or transfer. Such non-fungible tokens are called Soulbound, or SBT.
What can such a token provide, in theory? Soulbound can act as a personal certificate that cannot be faked. Therefore, the SBT can act as a proof of membership in a particular community or give a user unique status, or it can even function as a real official document.
For example, most recently, the Binance exchange released the first Binance Account Bound (BAB) Soulbound token, which is issued to each verificated user and could be used as a confirmation certificate in third-party applications. Due to the impossibility of selling or sending it to another account, the Soulbound can easily act in the form of an identity document.
📈 The Soulbound Token can also be obtained from the STON.fi DEX. To do this, you just need to be one of the first 200 participants in our demo. Yes, we decided to double the number of SBTs, taking into account the amount of assistance you provided in trying out our Demo. Don't miss your chance to help the project, get a unique Soulbound and other rewards! Opt in: https://demo.ston.fi/swap
