The biggest concern for liquidity providers is Impermanent Loss (IL). When token prices change, LPs can lose value compared to simply holding the tokens, which makes many people hesitant to provide liquidity.



On STONfi, the leading DEX on The Open Network, there was once a special feature designed to reduce this risk.

The STON/USDT pool (v2) introduced IL Protection.

How it worked:
Liquidity providers could add funds to the pool, and if impermanent loss occurred, part of that loss was compensated automatically each month.

Program details:
• Ran from Dec 2024 to Feb 2026
• Up to 5.72% IL compensation
• $10K monthly reward pool
• $100 max per LP, paid in STON tokens

Because of this, the STON/USDT pool became one of the most attractive pools on the DEX during that period.

The program has now ended, but the concept showed how DeFi platforms can protect LPs and encourage participation.

STONfi still offers farming rewards, where LPs earn extra tokens on top of trading fees. These rewards are separate from the pool’s normal APR and can help offset impermanent loss.

STON/USDT: ~32.97% APR

STORM/TON: ~28.8% APR

Even without IL protection, farming incentives still make the pool attractive for yield seekers.
