Here we are in 2025, which I believe will be an extremely important year for the entire
$TON blockchain.
At the end of last year, it was announced that TON was moving into the United States. Attracting new users is almost always a good thing. For example, along with users, the volume of swaps on the main DEX of the TON blockchain will increase, which will lead to higher APRs for liquidity providers.
It is also important that new users can bring new developers, for whom good conditions have already been created. For example, the STON.fi SDK is an elaborate tool for developers, and the recently created demo-app will further simplify interaction with it. Also, for developers there is a grant program STON.fi, thanks to which a developer can get up to 10000$ for the development of his project.
New developers are certainly good, but old projects continue to develop. For example, the recently released beta version of the
#Omniston protocol will be developed and improved further, and I hope that it will be fully released this year. The Omniston protocol selects the best course for swap among all resolvers and DEXes, and generates a Quote. Thanks to this, the swap happens at the best rate and with zero slippage, which is a very modern and revolutionary solution for DEXes.
And the main development in my opinion is Cross-Chain. Everything is just as good here. The first test swap between
#TON and Tron (
$TRX ) networks has already been done. In the future it is also planned to cross-chain with EVM (
$ETH ) networks.
