Fungible tokens on TON use the Jetton standard, and early liquidity usually forms on TON DEXs such as STON.fi and DeDust. Many TON projects start with Telegram-native audiences, which can create large, fast-moving holder bases. Because TON is not EVM-based, contracts, audits, and exchange integrations use different tooling; Kraken notes that non-EVM chains can extend listing timelines.
Key takeaways
- TON tokens are Jettons, not ERC-20s; audits and tooling differ.
- STON.fi and DeDust are common liquidity venues.
- Telegram distribution can create very large holder bases quickly; plan liquidity for it.
- Non-EVM integration can add exchange engineering time.
Liquidity on TON
| Consideration | Practical note |
|---|---|
| Token standard | Jetton (master contract plus wallet contracts) |
| Main venues | STON.fi, DeDust |
| Users | Often Telegram-native; large and fast-moving |
| Deposits | Exchanges may require a memo or comment; communicate clearly |
Preparing for exchanges
Publish the official Jetton master address, get a TON-experienced audit, and brief your community team on deposit instructions to avoid lost funds on listing day.
Frequently asked questions
Are TON tokens harder to list on centralized exchanges?
Not necessarily, since many large exchanges already support TON, but exchanges need TON-specific integration for each Jetton, and Kraken notes non-EVM chains can extend timelines.
What should a TON project prepare for listing day?
Clear deposit instructions (including any memo or comment requirements for exchange deposits), official Jetton master address, liquidity on TON DEXs, and a market maker for the CEX pairs.
Do Telegram mini-app users trade on centralized exchanges?
Some do, many stay in wallets and on-chain. Expect both, and make sure liquidity is healthy in both places.
