In this interview, Andrew Fedorov, CMO and CBDO of STON.fi, explains how the project has built the largest swap and liquidity aggregation protocol on the TON blockchain.
He shares why STON.fi chose TON early on, citing its integration with Telegram and the lack of DeFi infrastructure at the time.
Andrew discusses how liquidity fragmentation on TON created poor pricing and user experience, prompting STON.fi to develop Omniston, a protocol that aggregates liquidity across multiple DEXs and pools to deliver best execution automatically.
He also addresses the role of AI agents, noting that while AI will enhance execution and intent layers in the future, liquidity aggregation remains the foundation.
Andrew highlights growing demand for stablecoins, Telegram-native UX, and simplified DeFi flows that reduce multiple steps into a single transaction.
He concludes with advice for builders on TON: prioritize Telegram-style user experience and rely on infrastructure layers rather than building liquidity integrations from scratch.
