STONfi secured a $9.5M Series A in July 2025, led by Ribbit Capital and CoinFund, with additional backing from Delphi, Karatage, TON Ventures, and The Open Platform. The funding was aimed at accelerating cross chain expansion through Omniston, introducing concentrated liquidity, enabling limit orders, and advancing governance systems.
The governance milestone arrived in December 2025 with a full DAO launch, making STONfi the first protocol on TON to achieve fully operational community governance. The DAO now oversees upgrades, token listings, treasury management, and key protocol parameters.
The 2026 roadmap is structured and already in motion. Escrow swaps for private liquidity access and API v2 are currently being developed for Q1 to Q2. A cross chain closed alpha between TON and TRON is planned within the same period, with a public beta expected in Q3 2026. The v3 upgrade, which introduces concentrated liquidity, is also scheduled for Q3.
STONfi cross chain design takes a different route by avoiding traditional bridges. Instead, it relies on atomic hashed timelock contracts combined with Omniston RFQ routing. Assets only move when a transaction is successfully completed, otherwise they are automatically returned to the sender, ensuring no intermediary ever takes custody.
Looking further ahead, the roadmap includes AI driven DeFi features and expansion across multiple chains beyond TON and TRON by 2027.
With $7.935 billion in all time trading volume since launching in Q3 2022, STONfi has already built a strong execution track record that supports its forward plans.
