Introducing TONSWAP. The DEX for mass adoption on TON
TONSWAP is a DEX built on TON with a bridge to SORA v3, designed for fast, mobile-friendly trading and seamless access to cross-chain liquidity.
Why TON?
The Open Network (TON) is a sharded Layer-1 originally conceived by Telegram. With native wallet integration, sub-second finality, and negligible fees, TON lowers the barrier for the 800 million+ Telegram users who will power the next wave of DeFi adoption.
Core Features
- Mobile-native UX — a Telegram-style interface makes swapping as simple as sending a sticker.
- TON-native liquidity pools — earn yield on $TON and popular jettons without leaving the ecosystem.
- Blazing performance — sharding + TVM deliver near-zero gas costs on every trade.
- Permissionless listing — anyone can create a pool, bootstrap liquidity, and launch community tokens.
Bridging to SORA v3
While TONSWAP is built on TON, it will connect to the upcoming SORA v3 Hub Chain via a trust-minimized bridge, unlocking:
- Access to SORA-based assets such as $KUSD stablecoins.
- Deep liquidity shared with Polkaswap and other SORA-aligned DEXs.
- Cross-chain DeFi strategies without leaving the TONSWAP UI.
