When I first got into the TON ecosystem, I paid attention to only one thing: the price of $GRAM . If it went up, I thought everything was great. If it dropped, I assumed something was wrong.
Over time, I realized there is a metric that tells a much bigger story: TVL, or Total Value Locked.
TVL represents the total value of assets locked inside DeFi protocols. These funds are actively being used in liquidity pools, staking, and other protocols that keep the ecosystem running. They are not just sitting in wallets. They are powering the network.
This is why TVL often matters more than price. The price of GRAM can swing because of market sentiment, news, or short term speculation. TVL, on the other hand, reflects user confidence. When more people lock their assets in protocols, it shows they trust the ecosystem and believe in its long term growth. When TVL falls, it can signal that confidence is weakening.
STONfi currently holds close to half of the total TVL across the TON ecosystem. That says a lot about where users choose to put their assets to work. Prices will always fluctuate, but strong TVL is a sign that an ecosystem remains active, trusted, and growing.
