Scaling Smart: From Part-Time to Full Steam with STON.fi

STON.fi began as a part-time side projec, a lean team quietly building in the background, testing the waters of what DeFi on TON could become. But everything changed when early investment from The Open Platform arrived.

“That gave us the confidence and responsibility to go all-in,” recalls Baranov. “We grew the team, expanded our vision, and doubled down on delivering real infrastructure for the TON ecosystem.”

Then came a turning point: a 100x spike in traffic in early 2024.

“It pushed our systems to the edge,” says Baranov. “We had no choice but to scale everything on the fly, while staying fully live.”

The stress test revealed gaps, but also forced the STON.fi team to build a resilient foundation. Today, STON.fi is not just a DEX. It’s the backbone of liquidity and user experience across TON-based DeFi.

What started as a quiet project is now leading one of the fastest-growing ecosystems in Web3, and the team is just getting started.
