STON.Fi Drives TON’s Network Growth as Number of Addresses Witness Rapid Increase

The Open Network (TON) blockchain, designed for scalable cross-chain interoperability, is witnessing rapid growth, as has the number of addresses.

The Open Network (TON) blockchain has experienced rapid growth, particularly in the number of addresses, as highlighted by CryptoQuant in a recent post. This growth has been especially evident in the Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) within the TON ecosystem.

The increasing number of new addresses on TON decentralized exchanges indicates a growing interest in decentralized trading activities. It also reflects the rising adoption of DEX platforms on the network.

Interestingly, this growth has occurred despite the stabilization of TON's price in the market. While the price had been climbing rapidly earlier, it has now settled for a sideways movement. This development suggests that many investors may have missed out on profiting from the initial price surge.

Among the TON decentralized exchanges, STON.Fi has stood out in terms of growth. STON.Fi, one of the DEXs on TON, has gained dominance and now accounts for about 90% of all transactions. This indicates that STON.Fi is the major driver of the network's growth, with the majority of the trading activity and user engagement taking place on the platform.

As highlighted in a chart shared by CryptoQuant, STON.Fi's growth is more than double that of DeDust, the next outfit in line. The other outfit with the least activity is Megaton Finance. This growth spike began around April and continued to maintain a steady move northwards until September.

The TON ecosystem has boasted some impressive strengths in the broader crypto space. Part of this strength can be attributed to Telegram's close links with the network, which have fostered its development.

The network has also seen the creation of mini-games on it, such as Hamster Kombat, Rocky Rabbit, and Catizen, among others. These games have further contributed to the growth and popularity of the TON blockchain.

Catizen, a leading Gaming Bot in the TON ecosystem with over 22 million users, is only surpassed by Notcoin and Hamster Kombat. The latter has enjoyed particular success on the network, boasting over 300 million users. Notably, the gaming platform is set to launch its airdrop later this week.

Besides the mini-games, the blockchain has gained traction, evident in the growth trajectory of its new addresses. Recent data shows that the top five tokens—USDT, TON, CATI, NOT, and DOGS—on the TON blockchain have largely driven the adoption trends that pushed prices higher.

This growth has helped propel the blockchain into the top ten list of digital assets by market capitalization. At the time of writing, TON ranks ninth with a market cap of $14,045,892,313 and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of over $760 million.

However, like other crypto assets, TON's market price has experienced recent fluctuations. Following the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France, TON's price took a hit, plummeting to a record low. After Durov's conditional release, the momentum picked up again.

As of this writing, the TON price has seen a decline of 3.28% to $5.53 in the past 24 hours. The trading volume has also decreased by 17.18% to $182,612,711.

Despite these figures, market experts project more growth as the different mini-games on the blockchain prepare to launch their airdrops in the coming days. These airdrops are expected to trigger increased demand for TON, setting the stage for a potential price rally.
