Understanding STONfi Pool Labels

[1] | A Guide to Pool Types

The main DEX on the $TON blockchain, STONfi, continues to evolve, introducing various pool technologies. Here is an explanation of the different labels you will find on its liquidity pools.

[2] | Classic and Classic v2

Pools with no special marking are classic pools, requiring a 50/50 token ratio and using an older smart contract design that is gradually being updated. An example is NOT/TON v1. Pools marked 'v2' indicate a newer, more secure smart contract version, such as the PX/TON v2 pool.

[3] | Farming and IL Protection

A 'Farming' label means that on top of the base trading fees (APR), liquidity providers can earn an additional daily reward. This farming APR depends on the pool's TVL rather than its swap volume. Pools with 'IL Protection' have a system that compensates for a specific percentage of impermanent loss, corresponding to a price change of up to 2x for a token.

[4] | WStableSwap and WCPI

The 'WStableSwap' label is used for pools where the two tokens have interdependent prices, like stablecoin pairs or the tsTON/TON pool. These pools are designed with smart contracts that significantly reduce slippage. Finally, 'WCPI' pools allow for a non-standard token ratio, such as 60/40 or 30/70, offering more flexible options for providing liquidity on the $TON network.
