TON #11646
Description
First example of a contributor led chain ticket!
https://docs.ston.fi/developer-section/omniston/referral-fees
**On our side **
What is the problem?
- ShapeShift doesn't currently support TON blockchain
Who it's for?
- ShapeShift users who want to swap TON tokens
- TON community looking for multi-chain swaps
- Traders who want to bridge assets to/from TON
Why now ?
- TON ecosystem experiencing strong growth
- 87 M TVL
- dex volume 2.8 M
- Early mover advantage before competitors integrate
- very little bridge/swap options
Expected impact
- Revenue via swap fees on TON volume
- Access to 500k X followers + 70k Telegram from STON.fi
- discostu to lead outreach
- Volume potential: Medium - High (to estimate based on STON.fi TVL)
- 100K of volume in one month would be great
What segment of the market?
- Multi-chain DEX aggregation
- TON DeFi ecosystem
- Telegram-native crypto users
Market mental model?
- Multi-chain aggregator (EVM + non-EVM) expanding to TON blockchain
- Among first major cross-chain aggregators to support TON
- (1inch and CoW Swap don't support it yet)
- Bridging EVM ecosystems with TON ecosystem
Walkthrough/POC:
- integrating TON and their swapper
Once we have implemented a ladder/leaderboard system, we could create a campaign to incentivize users to engage/trade in order to earn points- no points, we're not doing that.
**On their Side **
What is the problem?
- STON.fi doesn't have a native bridge
- NEAR with us solves this
Who it's for?
- 500k STON.fi followers who want to bridge to TON
- TON users who want access to EVM liquidity, Multi-chain traders in TON ecosystem
Why now?
- No competing integrated bridge currently
- Growing demand for TON cross-chain flows
- STON.fi has 25.8K daily active users onchain
- 16K of those are power users doing multiple txs/day
- Their daily volume generates $4K-$15K in fees (current market conditions) In July their daily fees were more in the $30K $50K range
-
Expected impact?
- For STON.fi: Better UX, user retention, one-stop-shop
- probably 250-500 users initially from their DAU, maybe 500-800 if we target the power users specifically. Over time with co-marketing could hit 1-2K.
- For us: Exposure to 500k+ users, bridge volume fees
- Win-win: co-marketing to their communities
What segment of the market?
- Cross-chain bridging/swapping for TON ecosystem
Market mental model?
- "Native bridge experience without leaving STON.fi"
