Most people still view DeFi growth through short-term metrics.



Higher APRs.
Temporary liquidity spikes.
Speculative momentum.

But occasionally, a single week reveals something more important:

Structural progress.

This week on STONfi brought together three major signals at once:

► Record trading activity
► Emerging wallet automation infrastructure
► Expanding liquidity incentive systems

Together, they offer a clearer picture of where TON DeFi may be heading next.

$170M Weekly Volume: More Than Just a Number

Between May 4–10, 2026, STONfi processed nearly $170M in weekly swap volume.

Previous week: ~$19.5M
Growth: +772% week-over-week

That scale of acceleration usually reflects deeper ecosystem movement:

► Higher user participation
► Growing liquidity demand
► Increased routing activity
► Rising confidence in TON DeFi infrastructure

As liquidity grows across TON, execution layers become increasingly important.

STONfi is positioning itself as one of those core layers.

Agentic Wallets: The Next UX Shift

TON Tech introduced infrastructure for agentic wallets — wallets capable of executing on-chain actions from simple natural-language instructions.

Examples could eventually look like:

► “Swap rewards into TON”
► “Move profits into LPs”
► “Auto-compound farming rewards”

Instead of manually navigating multiple DeFi steps, users interact through intent-based execution.

STONfi developers joined the broader discussion surrounding how this infrastructure may evolve over the coming years.

Why This Matters

Automation does not reduce the importance of DeFi infrastructure.

It increases dependence on it.

Even intelligent wallet systems still require:

► Deep liquidity
► Reliable routing
► Fast execution
► Stable integrations

As automation scales, protocols powering liquidity and swaps become more valuable underneath the user experience layer.

Infrastructure becomes invisible to users—but increasingly critical to the ecosystem.

Farming Activity Continues Expanding

This week’s farming landscape also reflects growing liquidity coordination across TON.

Pools drawing attention include:

► STON/USDt v2
► JETTON/USDt
► JETTON/TON

Current highlights:

► STON/USDt v2 Boost APR remains active
► JETTON farms continue boosted reward distribution

This reflects a broader trend across DeFi:

Protocols are evolving beyond simple emissions and experimenting with more structured incentive systems.

Market Snapshot

DEX metrics this week:

► 29.2M TON weekly volume ($31.3M)
► 53,515 TON distributed to LPs (~$103.8K)

Top APRs:

► PEPEK/TON — 1168%
► USDt/JETTON — 96%
► TONG/TON — 75%
► STON/USDt — 19%

The Bigger Signal

What stands out most is coordination between multiple layers:

Infrastructure ► Automation ► Liquidity ► Usage ► Rewards

This is how ecosystems mature over time.

Not through isolated announcements, but through systems that continuously reinforce each other.

Final Thought

The next phase of DeFi may not be defined only by higher yields.

It may be defined by:

► Better execution
► Lower friction
► Smarter automation
► More efficient liquidity systems

This week on STONfi offered an early look at how that future may begin to form inside the TON ecosystem.
