When swapping tokens on a decentralized exchange, the amount shown before confirmation may differ from the amount ultimately received. One reason is slippage: the change between the expected price of a trade and the price at which it executes. Understanding slippage can help STON.fi users choose settings thoughtfully instead of treating every difference as a technical failure.
Token prices can move while a transaction is being prepared and processed. In addition, a trade may change the balance of a liquidity pool, affecting the price available for the remaining portion of the swap. These effects can be more significant when liquidity is limited or when a transaction is large compared with the pool.
Slippage tolerance is a setting that defines how much price movement a user is willing to accept before a transaction is rejected. A very low tolerance can protect against an unexpectedly poor execution price, but it may also cause a transaction to fail when the market changes slightly. A higher tolerance can make execution more likely in changing conditions, while allowing a less favorable result than the user originally expected.
There is no single setting that is best for every token or every market situation. The right choice depends on factors such as liquidity, volatility, trade size, and the user’s own risk preferences. Increasing tolerance simply to force a transaction through is not a reliable solution. It is worth reconsidering the trade if the required setting seems unusually high.
Before confirming a swap on STON.fi, review the estimated output, minimum received amount, price impact, and any displayed slippage information. Make sure you understand what the minimum amount means: it is the threshold you are accepting, not a guarantee that the trade will be profitable. Also consider whether the token and trading pair have enough liquidity for the size of the transaction.
If a swap repeatedly fails, do not keep changing settings without understanding the reason. Check the transaction details, reassess the amount, and consider waiting for conditions to change. A smaller trade may have a different effect on a pool, though it does not remove market risk. Pause and verify the numbers.
Slippage is part of how decentralized markets operate, not automatically evidence that something is wrong. The goal is to set realistic expectations, understand the trade-offs, and confirm only when the possible outcome remains acceptable to you.

Have you ever seen a token's market price and wondered why your swap quote offers a different amount?
One possible reason is price impact. Understanding it can help you evaluate a trade before confirming it on a decentralized exchange.
Step 1: Understand price impact
Price impact is the effect your trade has on the price available through a liquidity pool.
DEX pools hold token reserves. When a trade changes the balance between those reserves, the exchange rate changes too.
A large trade against a shallow pool can move the price significantly. The same trade against a deeper pool may have a smaller effect.
Step 2: Check the liquidity
Before swapping, investigate the pool's available liquidity.
Look at Total Value Locked (TVL), token balances, and recent trading volume where available. These metrics provide context, but none independently proves that a token is safe or that a trade will execute favorably.
Also consider your intended trade size relative to the liquidity available.
Step 3: Compare the actual quote
A token's displayed market price does not guarantee the amount you will receive.
Review the estimated output and price impact for your specific swap. Where alternative routes are available, compare their quoted results and execution conditions.
On TON, liquidity can be spread across multiple DEXs and pools. STON.fi uses Omniston to evaluate routes across connected liquidity sources, helping users avoid checking every venue manually.
However, aggregation cannot guarantee the best result across every possible venue.
Step 4: Understand minimum received
Before confirming a swap on STON.fi, review the minimum received value alongside the estimated amount and blockchain fee.
Minimum received represents the lower amount accepted under the swap's execution conditions. It does not eliminate price impact or guarantee that a transaction will succeed.
If the quote looks unfavorable, pause and investigate rather than confirming blindly.
Final thoughts
Better swap decisions begin with understanding liquidity, trade size, and execution conditions.
Check the pool, compare available quotes, and inspect the expected output before signing.
A token's price tells only part of the story. Your executable quote matters too.

Moving crypto between blockchains is common, but the process depends on what you want to receive and how you want to get there.
Understanding the difference between bridges and cross-chain swaps helps you choose a route more confidently.
Step 1: Understand the bridge approach
A bridge enables assets or representations of assets to move between blockchain ecosystems. Depending on its design, it may lock assets on one chain and issue a corresponding wrapped token on another.
For example, moving USDC from Ethereum to TON through a bridge might leave you holding a destination asset that requires another swap before you can access the token you actually need.
The exact process depends on the bridge and supported assets.
Step 2: Understand cross-chain swaps
A cross-chain swap coordinates an exchange from an asset on one network into an asset on another.
Imagine holding USDT on TRON and wanting USDT on TON. Instead of planning a bridge transfer followed by a separate exchange, a supported cross-chain swap can coordinate the movement and conversion in one flow.
The destination asset matters because receiving the correct token can remove an additional trading step.
Step 3: Explore the Omniston approach
STON.fi integrates Omniston for cross-chain swaps using resolver-based execution and coordinated settlement conditions.
Its design uses paired hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs) to support an all-or-nothing settlement process. If the required conditions are not met, the timelock mechanism is designed to allow the relevant funds to be recovered.
This is an architectural distinction, not a guarantee that every route is available at every moment.
Step 4: Check before confirming
Before proceeding:
1. Verify the source network and token.
2. Confirm the destination network and asset.
3. Review the quoted amount and fees.
4. Check the receiving wallet.
5. Verify the live route before signing.
Final thoughts
Bridges and cross-chain swaps solve related problems through different approaches. Neither is automatically superior for every situation.
Choose based on the destination asset, route complexity, fees, and settlement design.
With STON.fi, users can explore supported cross-chain routes through one interface. Always review the live quote before confirming.

Decentralized trading gives users more control, but finding the right swap route can be harder than it looks.
On TON, liquidity is spread across different decentralized exchanges and liquidity pools. This is where a DEX aggregator becomes useful.
Step 1: Understand the problem
A decentralized exchange (DEX) lets users swap tokens through blockchain-based systems rather than relying on a centralized intermediary.
However, different pools can offer different exchange rates for the same token pair. Liquidity depth, pool balances, and trade size can all affect the amount a trader receives.
Checking every venue manually takes time and makes comparisons harder.
Step 2: Understand what an aggregator does
A DEX aggregator acts as a routing layer. Instead of relying on one liquidity source, it checks connected venues and evaluates available routes.
Some swaps may also use multiple pools to reach the desired result.
The goal is to identify a competitive route among the sources the aggregator can access, not to guarantee the best price across every venue.
Step 3: Explore Omniston on STON.fi
STON.fi uses Omniston to aggregate TON liquidity and route swaps across connected sources. These include STON.fi, DeDust, Tonco, and swap.coffee pools, according to STON.fi's documentation.
This means users can access aggregated routing through the STON.fi interface without manually checking every connected DEX.
Step 4: Check your swap before confirming
Here is a simple workflow:
1. Connect your compatible TON wallet to STON.fi.
2. Select the token you want to swap and the token you want to receive.
3. Enter your intended amount.
4. Review the quoted output, price impact, minimum received, and blockchain fee.
5. Confirm only when the details match your expectations.
Remember that an aggregator cannot eliminate liquidity risks or guarantee a favorable outcome.
Final thoughts
A DEX aggregator makes fragmented liquidity easier to navigate by reducing manual comparisons.
On TON, Omniston brings this routing approach into STON.fi, helping users evaluate available swap routes through one interface.
The important question is simple: how much will your chosen route actually deliver?
Always verify current connected liquidity sources and interface details before publishing a tutorial

In an industry known for rapid fluctuations, Stablecoins serve as the backbone of the decentralized financial ecosystem. Pegged to fiat currencies like the US Dollar, assets such as USDT and USDC offer investors a safe haven to preserve profits during high volatility without leaving the blockchain network.
​Beyond acting as a store of value, stablecoins drive liquidity across Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and enable seamless cross-border transactions at a fraction of traditional banking costs. Furthermore, taking advantage of yield farming and staking protocols allows holders to generate passive income on their stablecoin reserves during bear markets.
​However, holding assets securely is just as critical as earning them. Moving your funds to self-custody hardware wallets ensures that you retain absolute control over your private keys. Remember the fundamental rule of crypto: "Not your keys, not your coins." Protecting your portfolio against phishing attacks, verifying smart contract permissions, and maintaining hybrid liquidity—split between active trading capital and secure cold storage—are essential practices for every smart investor.
​How do you manage your stablecoin allocations during market downturns?

The hacker who stole more than $600 million... returned it, and was offered a job
Some hacks end in an international manhunt. And one ended with a job offer. This is the latter.
In August 2021, an anonymous attacker exploited a flaw in Poly Network, a DeFi platform connecting several blockchains, and made off with more than $600 million in cryptocurrency from the Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon networks. At the time, it was one of the biggest heists in the history of decentralized finance.
