Sometimes the most interesting pairs in DeFi are not new ones, but those that have been around for a long time and solve key problems. The STON/USDT pair on STONfi is one such pair. It has been around for a long time and remains exemplary in terms of its approach to innovation on the $TON network.

One of the main problems with liquidity pools is impermanent loss. This is a situation where, due to changes in asset prices, the final value of a share in the pool turns out to be lower than if the tokens were simply kept in a wallet. STON/USDT took this into account in advance: a mechanism to protect against impermanent loss has been implemented for the pair, which smooths out losses during price movements.

This makes participation in the pool more stable and predictable. In addition to commissions, there is also farming, a mechanism whereby additional rewards are accrued for providing liquidity. Moreover, STON/USDT has the status of infinite farming, with no time restrictions.
