Since the launch of DAO on STONfi within the $TON etwork, enough time has passed, and during this time, a fairly large number of people have managed to take advantage of it. Now that the management mechanism has worked in real conditions, we can no longer just talk about the concept, but see how exactly this DAO fits into the ecosystem and what role Arkenston plays in it.

In this context, Arkenston is perceived not as a speculative asset, but as a full-fledged participation tool. Through it, users get the opportunity to vote, propose changes, and influence the direction of STONfi's development. This shifts the interaction with the platform from a “I use the product” format to a “I participate in its evolution” format.

At the same time, the DAO itself feels as open as possible to anyone who wants to participate. It is built into the already familiar logic of STONfi and complements it, rather than overloading it, as some might think. Active participants in the ecosystem eventually begin to perceive governance as a natural extension of using the platform.

As a result, DAO and Arkenston look like a huge step by the exchange towards an important decision for the entire $TON , giving its users a role that will allow them to make changes affecting not only the exchange but also the entire trading structure built on it.
