Education Hub : Liquidity Pools on TON
In traditional finance, liquidity is supplied by large institutions. In DeFi, it's powered by the community.
Liquidity pools allow users to contribute tokens into a shared pool, enabling others to trade against it. In return, liquidity providers (LPs) earn a share of the trading fees. It’s one of the most important innovations in DeFi—and it’s changing how finance works on-chain.
On TON, this model is gaining traction. Platforms like STON.fi, SettleTON, DeDust, and Tradoor are creating new ways to provide and use liquidity—with faster performance, auto-compounding rewards, and Telegram-native integration. And with Tonkeeper’s in-app browser, you can access all of them in just a few taps.
What Is Liquidity?
Liquidity refers to how easily assets can be bought or sold without significantly impacting their price. In DeFi, it's provided through liquidity pools—smart contracts where users deposit tokens to facilitate trading. These pools allow decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to function without relying on traditional buyers and sellers.
The result? Better prices, faster execution, and minimal slippage.
When you contribute to a liquidity pool, you earn a portion of trading fees and, in some cases, additional rewards like platform tokens or farming incentives. It’s a way to put your assets to work—passively and transparently.
Understanding LP Tokens
When you provide liquidity, you receive LP tokens—proof of your contribution to the pool. These tokens:
- Represent your share of the pool
- Can be staked in yield farms
- Can be redeemed for your original deposit (plus fees earned)
They’re the key to earning through DeFi—and give you full transparency into your position.
Things to Know Before You Provide Liquidity
Rewards:
- Trading fees – Collected from every transaction in the pool, including swaps, derivatives, and more.
- Staking rewards – Earned from farming protocols
- Platform incentives – Some platforms offer bonus points or token rewards
Risks:
- Impermanent loss – When token prices shift significantly, your share may be worth less
- Smart contract risk – All DeFi platforms run on code, so audits and security matter
The best strategy? Start small, choose reputable platforms with strict risk control mechanisms, ensure they’ve passed security audits, and stay informed.
How to Get Started
Every platform has its own flow, but the basics are the same:
- Connect your wallet – Tonkeeper supports all major DeFi apps on TON.
- Choose a pool – Based on the pair (TON, USDT, etc.) and APR.
- Deposit tokens – Confirm your contribution and receive LP tokens.
- Track and earn – Monitor your position, claim rewards, or withdraw when ready.
You can find active liquidity opportunities inside Tonkeeper, under the DeFi section of the in-app browser.
