Advancing open, secure, and decentralized liquidity on TON
Ston Foundation is an independent foundation that supports the development of the STON.fi protocol and empowers the community through transparent, DAO-driven governance and public-goods initiatives.
About the Foundation
Ston Foundation serves as a neutral steward of the STON.fi ecosystem. We support open-source research, security, community programs, and other public-goods initiatives that strengthen the STON.fi protocol without controlling it. Our role is to provide legal, operational, and administrative support, including implementing community-approved initiatives when compliant with applicable laws.
Our Mission
To promote responsible innovation, decentralization, and long-term sustainability across the STON.fi ecosystem by supporting builders, researchers, and participants in the STON.fi community.
What We Support
Open-source protocol research and development
Security reviews, audits, and risk analysis
Education, documentation, and community programs
Developer tooling and integrations
Transparent governance processes facilitated through the STON.fi DAO
Relationship with the STON.fi DAO
The STON.fi DAO enables community members to propose ideas, shape long-term strategy, and vote on ecosystem initiatives. DAO votes guide budgets, grants, and protocol-level priorities. The DAO does not execute changes directly. Instead, Ston Foundation carries out approved actions, where legally permissible, acting as the Protocol-enacted entity responsible for compliance, treasury administration, and operational execution.
Relationship with STON.fi Protocol
STON.fi is a permissionless, decentralized AMM deployed on the TON blockchain. Anyone can interact with or build on the protocol independently.
Ston Foundation does not:
own or control STON.fi smart contracts
provide trading services
hold user assets
offer investment, legal, or financial advice
We exist purely to support ecosystem-wide public goods.
Grants & Programs
Coming Soon
The Foundation operates transparent grants and funding programs for teams advancing tooling, research, security, education, and integrations within the STON.fi ecosystem. Programs focus on long-term impact, not speculation or token-related incentives.
