The $TON ecosystem is levelling up, and STONfi is leading the charge with a major move toward institutional-grade protocol health. Following a successful DAO vote, the dev team has officially launched the Automated Treasury Acquisition Mechanism in test mode.
What is the Treasury Acquisition Mechanism?
Essentially, STON.fi is building a self-sustaining economic loop. The protocol now has a "non-discretionary" (automated) system that:
Captures a portion of the fees generated from every trade on the DEX.
Converts those fees automatically into $STON and GEMSTON tokens.
Allocates them to the Protocol Treasury.
What's The Effect On The Ecosystem?
Constant Buy Pressure: Instead of manual interventions, the protocol itself becomes a consistent buyer of $STON and $GEMSTON directly from the market.
Transparency First: No more guessing how treasury funds are managed. It’s all on-chain, automated, and follows strict DAO-approved logic.
Long-term Sustainability: A healthy treasury means the DAO has more resources to fund future innovations, farming rewards, and security audits without diluting the supply.
The "Test Mode"
The team is currently in Test Mode. This is a smart move. In DeFi, automation must be battle-tested to ensure that fee conversions don't cause unnecessary slippage or disrupt the pool balances. Once stability is verified, this will move to full, regular operations under the DAO's watchful eye.
STONfi is transitioning from a "growth-at-all-costs" DEX to a "value-capture" DEX. By automating these acquisitions, STONfi is proving that its governance isn't just for show—it's actively shaping the protocol’s financial DNA. On-chain activity for both tokens is already showing the first signs of this mechanism in action.
