1. Value Proposition

<aside> 🎯 The Value Proposition section describes the value a protocol delivers to its users. Based on the proportion of the problem the protocol aims to solve and the potential of the protocol to effectively solve the problem - better than other industry solutions - a Value Proposition rating is created.

</aside>

STON.fi DEX was founded in 2022 to provide easy access to mass audiences to financial services on the TON blockchain, including Telegram users. It uses the Constant Product Market Maker algorithm, which automatically adjusts price ranges through stable liquidity for two pairs of tokens.

a**) Novelty of the solution**

Answer:

STON.fi is a protocol for calculating asset prices and securing a transaction between a user and a contract (P2C). Features such as only traders participating in the transaction (no third party), no collection of information for identification and access to coins/tokens and personal information, and small trading fees are inherent in most DEX AMMs. At the same time, the STON.fi protocol integrates new features of the TON blockchain on which it operates and therefore operates with lower transaction costs and higher speeds. Such a problem as front running STON.fi solves thanks to the sharding and asynchronous nature of TON. However, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. namely, the DAO has not been completed and the protocol is yet to be verified by independent experts.

b**) Market fit/demand**

Answer:

STON.fi takes its first steps in the DeFi market in the TON ecosystem. DEX listings are not yet tracked by CoinMarketCap. However, DefiLlama gives STON.fi's TVL statistics. At the time of writing it is $545,783.

This stage can be seen as a time to choose a strategy for the further development of DEX.

c**) Target market size?**

Answer:

The size of the global decentralised finance market was estimated at $13.61 billion in 2022, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.0% from 2023 to 2030.
