In a landmark move for decentralized finance in the U.S., STON.fi, the leading DeFi protocol on The Open Network (TON), has launched support for U.S. users via its native integration inside TON Wallet, bringing frictionless crypto swaps to Telegram’s vast user base.
With nearly 87 million U.S. Telegram users, the integration marks a significant leap in Web3 accessibility. Users can now interact with STON.fi’s swap services directly inside the Telegram-based TON Wallet, or via the standalone STON.fi dApp, making self-custodial DeFi as intuitive as sending a message.
“This integration represents a significant step toward mainstream cryptocurrency adoption,” said Slavik Baranov, CEO of STON.fi Dev. “By bringing swapping services directly into one of the most widely adopted TON wallets, we’re removing the traditional friction points that have long kept everyday users from accessing decentralized finance. Now, anyone can use crypto as easily as sending a message.”
At the heart of the experience is Omniston, STON.fi’s decentralized liquidity aggregation protocol. Omniston routes trades through multiple liquidity sources behind the scenes, delivering optimal rates for end users without the complex interfaces or multi-step processes that typically plague DeFi platforms.
Furthermore, STON.fi commands nearly 80% of active trading wallets on TON, supports over $6 billion in total volume, and has processed 27 million transactions since launch. It stands as the TON ecosystem’s backbone for token swaps, staking, yield farming, and liquidity provision.
According to the company, the U.S. launch is more than a geographic expansion; it’s a strategic move ahead of STON.fi’s cross-chain upgrade, which will enable interoperable DeFi without bridges or wrapped tokens. That future hinges on Omniston’s architecture and STON.fi’s growing ecosystem of developers and liquidity providers.
