With a background in building user-focused financial products and driving ecosystem growth, Fedorov shared his insights on swaps, liquidity aggregation, and the role of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ston.fi\/omniston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Omniston<\/a> in making TON more scalable and developer-friendly. Our conversation explored how STON.fi is positioning itself at the center of TON\u2019s rapid expansion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For someone just discovering TON through Telegram, why should they care about infrastructure like swaps and liquidity aggregation, and what problem would they actually feel without it?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That\u2019s a great question, because for most people, infrastructure sounds invisible. But here\u2019s the thing: if you try to swap tokens and it takes forever, or you get a bad price, or the transaction fails, that\u2019s when you feel it. Without strong infrastructure, the experience becomes frustrating really fast. What we\u2019re building with STON.fi is the engine that makes sure those issues don\u2019t happen. Ideally, users don\u2019t think about what\u2019s happening behind the scenes, they just get smooth swaps and fair prices.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s another angle that\u2019s very relevant for TON Blockchain: Telegram is famous for its viral mini-apps and games, where players find themselves with tokens. The very next question they ask is, <em>\u201cOkay, I\u2019ve got these tokens\u2026 now what? Can I trade them, use them, stake them?\u201d<\/em> If there isn\u2019t reliable infrastructure to let those tokens move, to be swapped, staked, farmed, or anything else, the excitement dies quickly. It\u2019s not enough to give people tokens; you have to give them a path into the wider ecosystem. That\u2019s exactly the gap STON.fi fills.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s also why Omniston, a liquidity aggregation protocol, is being built. Users automatically get the best execution without thinking about which DEX has the best pool today. Omniston ties everything together, so people can just use TON without worrying about where the liquidity sits. The idea is to cut down the hassle, make things more reliable, and ensure that when someone\u2019s first step into web3 comes through Telegram, they don\u2019t get stuck, they actually see how easy it is to go further.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TON is scaling fast, but growth brings both opportunity and unexpected challenges. From your perspective, what\u2019s the single biggest shift you\u2019ve seen in TON over the past year, and where does STON.fi fit into that story?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The biggest shift has been TON moving from being promising to being stress-tested at scale. A year ago, people were still asking, \u201cIs TON ready for real traffic?\u201d Then we suddenly had proof: during events like the big airdrops, transaction volumes nearly tripled overnight. That was both exciting and chaotic.<\/p>\n<p>For STON.fi, it was a trial by fire. Swaps slowed down, queues built up, and execution became unpredictable. The swaps were paused to protect users, then rebuilt: added distributed routers, simplified transactions, and introduced automatic deadlines. That stress test turned into the blueprint for a stronger system.<\/p>\n<p>The result is that today, developers using our SDK know they\u2019re building on infrastructure that\u2019s already been through the toughest test. Even when TON traffic spikes, swaps keep running smoothly, and users don\u2019t have to think twice. In a way, that chaos pushed us to build resilience faster, and that\u2019s how STON.fi fits into TON\u2019s growth: by turning those moments of pressure into stronger foundations for the whole ecosystem.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Everyone asks \u201cTON vs. Ethereum\/Solana.\u201d Better question: where does TON\u2019s architecture make <\/strong><strong><em>your<\/em><\/strong><strong> job easier, and where does it box you in?\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>TON has some real strengths. First, the integration with Telegram gives projects like ours a direct line to a billion users right away. That makes distribution and adoption much faster than in most other ecosystems, people don\u2019t need to search for you, you\u2019re already where they are.<\/p>\n<p>Second, TON\u2019s sharding is designed for scalability, which is a huge advantage long term. But it also comes with challenges: under heavy load, working across shards isn\u2019t simple, so we need to account for this in development and make sure we use the system effectively. That\u2019s why STON.fi had to build solutions like distributed routers to keep swaps reliable.<\/p>\n<p>And third, there\u2019s the supportive ecosystem. Projects on TON don\u2019t just grow in isolation, we think a lot about how one can amplify another. That\u2019s why we focus on strong partnerships, because collaboration is what really helps the whole ecosystem move forward.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fragmented liquidity was a huge barrier for blockchains, and TON isn\u2019t an exception. Beyond better execution, what deeper effects do you see Omniston having on developer adoption and ecosystem growth?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you were a developer and wanted swaps in your app, you basically had to plug into every single DEX and protocols by yourself, and that just doesn\u2019t scale.<\/p>\n<p>With Omniston, you integrate once and get access to all the liquidity on TON right away. It makes life so much easier for developers, they can focus on building features instead of messing with plumbing. That\u2019s why more than 40 projects have already integrated our solution.<\/p>\n<p>And the ripple effect is huge: users get smoother apps, liquidity providers see more activity, and the whole ecosystem feels more connected instead of fragmented. In the end, Omniston isn\u2019t just about better execution, it\u2019s about helping TON grow faster and stronger together.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1759843212_70_STONfi-at-TOKEN2049-Andrey-Fedorov-on-TONs-future.webp.webp\" alt=\"STON.fi at TOKEN2049: Andrey Fedorov on TON\u2019s future - 2\" class=\"wp-image-14422844\"><\/figure>\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Some critics might say aggregators reduce competition between DEXs. How do you see Omniston affecting innovation among liquidity providers themselves?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I actually think it pushes them to innovate more. With Omniston, users automatically get the best rates across all pools. That means if you\u2019re a DEX or a professional market maker, you know you\u2019ll only win order flow if your offering is competitive. In other words, it levels the playing field, no one can just rely on being \u201cthe default.\u201d So in my view, it creates healthy competition and gives everyone an incentive to improve.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cross-chain connectivity sounds like the next big milestone. How do you see external capital reshaping TON once it flows in, and what role will STON.fi play in making that transition smooth?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once external capital flows in, TON stops being an island and really becomes part of the wider crypto economy. That\u2019s when things get exciting, suddenly you\u2019ve got more liquidity, more trading pairs, and more opportunities for both users and builders. But of course, it also brings complexity: bridging assets, routing trades across different chains, managing risks.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly where STON.fi, and especially Omniston, comes in. The big idea behind Omniston isn\u2019t just aggregating TON liquidity, it\u2019s to become a truly cross-chain solution. Today, it makes all liquidity inside TON feel connected. Tomorrow, it will extend that same simplicity across ecosystems, so whether you\u2019re moving tokens from Ethereum, Solana, or any other chain, it feels just as seamless as a swap inside TON.<\/p>\n<p>Our role is to make all that invisible. Users shouldn\u2019t need to care where the liquidity sits or how many hops a transaction takes. They should just click once, and it works. That\u2019s the mission of Omniston, to turn cross-chain from something complicated into something natural, and in doing so, unlock a much bigger wave of capital and adoption for TON.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Every big protocol eventually faces governance questions. Do you see a future where STON.fi\u2019s direction is more community-driven?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Absolutely. Up to now, we\u2019ve been in the \u201cbuild fast, stabilize the foundation\u201d phase, and in that stage, it made sense for a core team to lead. But in the long run, we believe protocols are stronger when they\u2019re guided by their communities. Community-driven governance isn\u2019t just about handing over control, it\u2019s about building more resilience, more ideas, and more trust.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the project feels ready to take the next step. This year, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ston.fi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">STON.fi<\/a> will be launching its DAO. STON.fi has a strong, loyal community, and it wants them to be part of the journey, not just as users, but as active participants shaping what comes next for STON.fi. It\u2019s about growing together and making sure the protocol is strengthened by the community.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This content is provided by a third party.
