# TON,

Most people track prices. Fewer pay attention to what actually drives usage: fees.
A recent upgrade on TON reduced network fees by ~6×, and the effect is already visible on STONfi.
This is not just an optimization.
It’s a structural improvement in how value moves on-chain.
What changed
► Average transaction cost now ~ $0.0005
► Around 83% reduction in fees
► Faster and smoother execution after recent upgrades
Lower cost + better performance = more efficient DeFi infrastructure.
Example: TON ⇄ USDt swap
Before:
► $0.039)
Now:
► $0.0065)
Same transaction.
Significantly lower friction.
