The Open Network (TON) has excelled in a volatile market, catching attention with its rapid growth and new all-time highs, even as the broader market declined. Its integration with Telegram has amplified its popularity, and while TON is well-known for its gaming ecosystem, it also offers diverse activities like liquid staking, lending, and trading. Here’s how you can get started with TON.

Earn Tokens by Playing Telegram-Based Games
Gaming is a key feature of The Open Network (TON), with popular games like Notcoin, CatizenAI, and Hamster Kombat leading the way.

Catizen is a play-to-earn game on Telegram where players act as mayors in a virtual cat city, earning Catizen coins through city-building, completing tasks, and participating in airdrops. Its innovative gameplay and real crypto rewards have driven rapid growth, with over 15 million users and 3.5 million daily active users, more than 50% of whom are paying customers.

Hamster Kombat lets players become a hamster CEO of a growing crypto exchange. Players tap a golden coin to earn more coins and buy upgrades for their exchange. The game’s straightforward mechanics and crypto rewards have attracted 150 million players. Following Notcoin’s success, Hamster Kombat will launch a token airdrop in July, continuing its predecessor’s positive momentum.

In summary, games like Catizen and Hamster Kombat on TON offer engaging entertainment and real-world rewards, making them appealing to early adopters.

Liquid-Stake Your TON for Extra Rewards
Liquid staking on The Open Network (TON) through platforms like Tonstakers and Bemo Finance lets you earn additional rewards from your TON holdings.

Tonstakers allows users to pool their TON for blockchain validation. Nominators stake their TON to help validate the network and earn rewards, with extra gains from interest payments made by validators borrowing funds. Participants receive a liquid staking receipt token called Jetton Pool.

Bemo is another non-custodial liquid staking platform on TON. It enables users to stake TON tokens and receive stTON tokens, which can be used freely in DeFi and increase in value with staking rewards. stTON tokens can be transferred, traded, or utilized in DeFi without waiting through cool-down periods, and can enhance yields further through liquidity provision on TON DEXs or lending protocols.
In summary, both Tonstakers and Bemo Finance offer valuable opportunities for earning rewards and maximizing your TON holdings.

3. Swap Tokens on DEXs
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are central to TON’s DeFi ecosystem, with key players like STON.fi and DeDust driving growth.

STON.fi is a decentralized automated market maker (AMM) built on the TON blockchain, offering virtually zero fees, low slippage, and an easy-to-use interface. Founded in 2022, it aims to create a seamless crypto exchange experience for mass adoption via Telegram’s audience. The TON blockchain’s sharding architecture allows STON.fi to process millions of transactions per second, ensuring efficient trading.

DeDust is another prominent DEX on TON, featuring the DeDust Protocol 2.0 for enhanced user experience, gas efficiency, and extensibility. Beyond token swaps, DeDust offers bridging, staking its native token SCALE for rewards, and liquidity provision, with pools like TON/USDT offering 160% APR.

Overall, STON.fi and DeDust serve as crucial liquidity hubs for TON, supporting a robust DeFi ecosystem and providing essential platforms for traders.

4. Leverage Assets through Lending Markets
Lending platforms on TON provide additional opportunities to profit from your assets.
Evaa Protocol allows users to lend and borrow assets such as TON, stTON, tsTON, and USDT directly through Telegram. With double-digit interest rates for TON and USDT, Evaa Protocol offers a highly competitive yield, surpassing traditional staking returns. The platform also features an XP points program, which can be exchanged for the EVAA token upon its launch.

DAOLama offers NFT lending on TON, supporting over 35 collections. Users can rent out their NFTs for TON by creating and confirming proposals, receiving TON based on the agreed terms. Additionally, DAOLama’s marketplace features a Buy Now, Pay Later option for NFTs, allowing users to purchase items like Anonymous Telegram Numbers for 41 TON instead of 113 TON.

In summary, Evaa Protocol and DAOLama offer innovative and user-friendly lending solutions, providing additional avenues for earning yield on your TON holdings.

Trade Crypto Derivatives on TON
TON offers derivatives trading platforms with up to 50x leverage. Storm Trade is a decentralized platform on TON integrated with Telegram, providing up to 50x leverage, real-time price updates, and trading pairs with TON and USDT.

Storm Trade also features earning opportunities through daily tournaments and liquidity provision. Users can win NFTs in tournaments for early access to the exchange’s token and earn 70% of protocol fees by providing liquidity. All activities can be managed directly from Telegram.

With its seamless integration and comprehensive trading features, Storm Trade makes decentralized derivatives trading both accessible and rewarding.
