Governance Begins: STON.fi Launches TON’s First DAO

STON.fi Launches TON’s First Decentralized Autonomous Organization

The STON.fi decentralized exchange (DEX) has officially launched the first DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) in the TON (The Open Network) ecosystem — marking a major milestone for TON’s growing decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape.

The new governance platform, accessible at dao.ston.fi, allows the TON community to take part in decision-making processes that will shape the future of the project. This initiative follows STON.fi’s commitment to community-driven development and decentralized control.

Genesis Governance Campaign: Public Testing Now Open

As part of the Genesis Governance campaign, STON.fi is running a two-week public testing period where users can explore the DAO’s features and participate in early governance activities.

Anyone holding or staking STON tokens can join the trial, gaining firsthand experience in decentralized proposal creation, voting, and discussion within the TON ecosystem.

How to Participate

Stake STON tokens to gain voting power

• Existing stakers are automatically eligible

Complete the three core governance actions:

• Create a proposal

• Vote on at least one proposal

• Comment to contribute to community discussion

Participants can join directly through the STON.fi Telegram bot:

Voting Power Requirements

• Create proposals: minimum 0.55 voting power

• Vote or comment: open to any voting power level

This design ensures broad participation while maintaining quality control in proposal creation.

Recognition for Early Contributors

To honor early community members, STON.fi will issue a soulbound NFT (non-transferable) to participants who complete all three governance actions.

This exclusive collectible will serve as a badge of contribution, recognizing users who helped build the foundation of decentralized governance on TON.

A Milestone for TON DeFi

The DAO launch positions STON.fi at the forefront of TON’s DeFi expansion. By empowering users to create and vote on proposals directly, the project moves one step closer to full decentralization — ensuring that decisions about upgrades, incentives, and future product directions are made by the community.

This initiative also provides TON users with valuable experience in on-chain governance, a critical component of long-term ecosystem growth.

“Decentralized governance is the heart of DeFi. With the STON.fi DAO, TON users can now take part in decisions that truly shape their network,” said a STON.fi community moderator.
