Over time, every network begins to develop its own focal point. This is where the bulk of liquidity concentrates and remains for years. This core forms gradually, driven by user behavior.

At the beginning of a network’s life, liquidity is distributed rather chaotically. This was also the case with the $TON network. Everyone was running around different platforms because each one offered something unique to attract more users. And only after a long time do most of these projects get weeded out, making way for the most attractive platforms. One such platform became STONfi.

The example of STONfi clearly illustrates how such a core forms and what contributes to it. Immediately after STONfi made its debut, a significant portion of the trading volume began flowing through it. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, users returned here more and more often. The abundance of pools was also one of the reasons why users kept coming back.

And then, some time later, STONfi released the Omniston protocol, which completely revolutionized the concept of a standard exchange across the entire network, as it gave users a unique opportunity. They could trade on a single exchange, while the platform itself sought liquidity across every corner of the $TON ecosystem. This is what lured a vast majority of traders to STONfi, or to projects that had integrated the Omniston protocol into their exchange systems.
