KTON Targets $6.12 Billion Liquid Staking Opportunity on TON, Tapping Telegram’s 950 Million Users

KTON, Launching February 2025, Poised to Unleash 18X Growth in TON’s Liquid Staking Market

KTON, an institutional-grade liquid staking protocol incubated by TONX, is gearing up for its V1 launch in February 2025. Backed by top VC firms from the Asia-Pacific region, TONX is also behind TONX API, the leading developer platform trusted by Blum, Catizen, Google Cloud, and over 20 leading projects. Tonkey, a multisig solution managing $400M in assets and adopted by the TON Foundation, is also a TONX venture. Now, KTON is set to enter the United States and global markets with its enterprise-grade liquid staking solution for both institutional and retail users.

Recently, Telegram announced it will exclusively support The Open Network (TON) for its blockchain ecosystem. Being built specifically for TON users, KTON is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growth. Building on TONX’s success in the API and security space, KTON is positioned to capture the $6.12 billion TON liquid staking market opportunity.

KTON allows users to stake TON and receive $KTON in return, unlocking liquidity without sacrificing staking rewards. Unlike existing solutions that often concentrate risk or lack robust standardization, KTON provides institutional-grade security tailored for family offices, trusts, and exchanges. Users can start staking with as little as 1 TON, and there is no lock-up period.

Unlocking TON’s $6.12B Liquid Staking Market Potential

In the realm of blockchain ecosystems, Lido Finance spearheads the scene with its dominance in Ethereum's LST market, boasting an impressive $30B TVL. KTON aims to harness a similar potential within TON's nascent LST market, currently valued at $0.36B.

“Our research reveals that TON’s LST ratio matches Solana at 10% of staked tokens, yet TON’s total staking rate is merely 13.7% versus Solana’s 69%. This indicates a 5x growth potential. Furthermore, if TON’s LST ratio reaches Ethereum’s 36%, the market could surge 18X, unlocking an additional $6.12B in value,” said Dr. Awesome Doge, founder of TONX and KTON. “KTON aims to bridge this gap by providing the infrastructure needed to unlock this liquidity and drive TON’s DeFi expansion.”

This staking service will unlock liquidity, enabling seamless integration with leading TON native DEXs and protocols, and more DeFi giants entering TON like Ethena and Curve Finance. TON users can then pursue flexible and stable yield strategies through various DeFi opportunities while maintaining their staking rewards.

KTON Sets New Standards for TON Liquid Staking Infrastructure

KTON is addressing the critical challenges of existing liquid staking solutions, such as concentration risks and lack of standardization, by introducing a decentralized protocol with institutional-grade security.

To further enhance accessibility, KTON is launching a Telegram Mini App designed for the platform’s 950M users in a move to bridge DeFi adoption and mainstream accessibility. By integrating liquid staking directly within Telegram, KTON simplifies the process, ensuring that anyone can participate with ease. This innovative approach positions KTON to drive the widespread adoption of TON blockchain technology, expanding its reach in the US market and globally.

The platform's roadmap extends beyond staking rewards. Following the launch of KTON V1, a planned upgrade will introduce a dual-token model featuring $KTON and a new governance token. This system allows $KTON holders to earn rewards while actively participating in KTON DAO governance.
