Listen up STONfiers,
STON.fi & TeFi Alliance, at first glance, it's "cool, another partnership." But after digging in, this feels like one of those moments I'll always look back on as a major turning point for the TON ecosystem.
I feel like having a real talk about the future of DeFi on The Open Network with you all. For a while, the space has been full of incredible innovation, but it's also been fragmented. Projects often build in silos, competing for liquidity and attention. I've always believed that the next massive leap forward wouldn't come from a single project, but from collaboration.
That's why I'm personally thrilled to share that this vision is now a reality. STON.fi has officially joined the TeFi Alliance, in a powerful collaboration with Torch and the most promising protocols on TON.
This is a foundational move to create a more unified, liquid, and user-friendly DeFi ecosystem. They're breaking down the walls between protocols to build a seamless experience where capital flows efficiently and opportunities are abundant for everyone.
Here’s my breakdown of what’s happening and why I’m actually paying attention.
Why This Isn't Just Any Deal:
Let's be real, DeFi on any chain, including TON, can feel like a bunch of isolated islands. Liquidity is scattered all over the place, which means we, the users, often get hit with crappy slippage on trades, and yield farming can be a pain.
This alliance is trying to fix that. The goal is to get the biggest and best protocols to actually work together. If they pull this off, it could mean:
✅ Deeper liquidity pools: Less price impact on our swaps.
✅ Better, more stable yields: As capital flows more efficiently between protocols.
✅ A smoother user experience: Less hopping between a dozen different sites.
✅ That's the long-term vision, and I'm here for it. But what about right now?

The Immediate Play: The Campaign and the New Stablecoin
This is the part I know we all care about(Myself inclusive). How do we get in on the action?
They've launched a massive campaign that’s running from now (June 2) until August 2.
Here's the deal:
⪼ There’s a $20,000 reward pool up for grabs.
⪼ You earn "XP" for doing stuff on the platform (swapping, LP'ing, etc.).
⪼ Your final XP rank determines how big of a slice of that $20k pie you get.
⪼ My take: The most important detail is that the earlier you start, the more you earn. It seems weighted to reward early birds, so I'm not waiting around. I'm already in.
The New Addition: tgUSD
They also dropped a new yield-generating stablecoin called tgUSD. I checked the specs: it's backed 1:1 by USDT, so that checks the safety box for me. The "yield-generating" part is what's interesting. It seems designed to earn a return for me while I use it within the ecosystem.
To get things moving, they've already launched a tgUSD/USDT pool on STON.fi. For anyone looking for a solid stablecoin farm, this looks like the new go-to, especially with the campaign rewards stacked on top.
My Plan & Final Thoughts:
I know partnerships in crypto can be a lot of hot air. But this one feels different because it's tackling real problems l faced, and it's giving me a direct incentive to participate from day one.
I've already moved some of my stables over to the new tgUSD/USDT pool to start racking up that XP. It feels like a low-risk way to farm a new asset while getting a piece of the reward pool.
I'm genuinely optimistic about this. It feels like the $TON ecosystem is starting to mature, and this is a huge step in the right direction.
But that's just my two cents. What do you all think? Anyone see a strategy I'm missing? Are you jumping in? Let me know.
