KTON is aiming for a $6.12 billion opportunity in liquid staking on TON, leveraging Telegram's 950 million users.
KTON is an advanced liquid staking protocol created by TONX, a leading venture studio focused on The Open Network (TON). They are set to launch their V1 version in February 2025. Recently, TONX kicked off a $5 million accelerator program to boost innovation within the TON and Telegram ecosystems. They are well-known for their TONX API, a developer platform used by major companies like Blum, Catizen, and Google Cloud. Additionally, TONX has developed Tonkey, a multisig solution managing $400 million in assets, adopted by the TON Foundation.
Telegram has announced its exclusive support for TON in its blockchain ecosystem. KTON is in a prime position to take advantage of this growth, as it is specifically designed for TON users. With the success of TONX in API and security, KTON is ready to capture the $6.12 billion liquid staking market opportunity.
KTON allows users to stake TON while earning $KTON, providing liquidity without sacrificing staking rewards. Unlike other solutions that may concentrate risk or lack standardization, KTON offers institutional-grade security tailored for family offices, trusts, and exchanges. Users can start staking with just 1 TON, and there’s no lock-up period.
Unlocking the $6.12B Liquid Staking Market Potential
Liquid staking has changed the game in blockchain ecosystems. Lido Finance leads Ethereum’s liquid staking market with a total value locked (TVL) of $30 billion. KTON aims to achieve similar success in TON’s emerging market, currently valued at $360 million.
Research shows that TON’s liquid staking ratio matches Solana’s at 10% of staked tokens. However, TON’s overall staking rate is only 13.7%, compared to Solana’s 69%. This indicates a fivefold growth potential. If TON’s liquid staking ratio reaches Ethereum’s 36%, the market could expand by 18 times, unlocking an additional $6.12 billion in value. Dr. Awesome Doge, founder of TONX and KTON, emphasizes that KTON will provide the infrastructure needed to unlock this liquidity and drive TON’s DeFi growth.
KTON’s staking service will enhance liquidity and enable seamless integration with leading TON-native decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and protocols. This includes major DeFi platforms like Ethena and Curve Finance. Users will have access to flexible and stable yield strategies through various DeFi opportunities while maintaining their staking rewards.
KTON Sets New Standards for TON Liquid Staking Infrastructure
KTON addresses key challenges in existing liquid staking solutions, such as concentration risks and lack of standardization. They introduce a decentralized protocol with institutional-grade security.
To improve accessibility, KTON is launching a Telegram Mini App for the platform’s 950 million users. This move aims to bridge the gap between DeFi adoption and mainstream accessibility. By integrating liquid staking directly within Telegram, KTON simplifies participation, ensuring that anyone can get involved easily. This innovative approach positions KTON to promote the widespread adoption of TON blockchain technology, expanding its reach in both the U.S. and global markets.
The platform’s roadmap goes beyond just staking rewards. After the launch of KTON V1, a planned upgrade will introduce a dual-token model featuring $KTON and a new governance token. This system will allow $KTON holders to earn rewards while actively participating in KTON DAO governance.
