The $TON blockchain became the most popular in terms of new users last year, by integrating into Telegram and creating TapTap games that attracted regular people to the blockchain.
There are two main DEXs on this blockchain that are used for the bulk of swaps - STON.fi ($STON, $GEMSTON) and DeDust ($DUST). This post will compare them.
Each platform greets the end user with its own interface, STON.fi has soft tones of blue combined with white, while DeDust is dominated by more aggressive black-orange colors. STON.fi prevails in terms of interface usability: it is much easier to navigate, all elements are in their place, and the text has a more pleasing size for the eye. DeDust has some problems with the interface: the search by pools works with a noticeable delay, and when leaving the page of a certain pool you have to return to the very beginning of the list, which makes it quite difficult to select the pool of interest.
Swap speed of both platforms is approximately the same, but TVL on STON.fi in most pairs is noticeably larger, because of which slippage on it is less. STON.fi is also developing the #Omniston protocol, which will aggregate liquidity from all DEX to provide the best rate and create quotas with predetermined rates, which will ensure zero slippage. Whitepaper DeDust has no future plans in it, so there's not much to tell about it.
In the infographic below, I've shown the metrics for comparison:
