What do DAO tokens offer to the community in blockchain?

Different blockchains have their own project tokens, each with its own functionality and potential future uses. In most cases, those who hold such tokens are highly valued by the projects and platforms that are building the future of their blockchain.

On the $TON blockchain, there is only one project within the ecosystem that has such tokens. This project is the largest on its blockchain and offers great opportunities and freedom of choice for its users.

That project is STON fi — a decentralised exchange built on the $TON blockchain, which allows users to supply liquidity to pools, perform swaps, stake tokens, and much more.

STONтfi has three tokens directly related to the project. Each of these tokens has its own application, with some yet to gain their full functionality in the future, which will be of great significance.

The main and most important token is $STON. It is one of the key tokens in the STON fi ecosystem. By staking this token, users can, in the long term, vote on future developments and features that will benefit the $TON ecosystem.

ARKESTON is also one of the most important tokens. In the future, when a DAO is established, holders will be able to vote on the project’s development, the introduction of new features, and other changes to the protocol within STON fi scope of influence. It is also likely that each staker will have an influence. If someone holds a large number of tokens in staking, they will have a greater share of influence in DAO voting.
An ARKESTON NFT is issued to each wallet after staking $STON tokens. It is linked to a specific wallet and cannot be transferred.
NFT come in different levels, and at the end of the staking period, the NFT can be removed, and the STON tokens returned to the wallet.

The GEMSTON token has less influence than those mentioned above but remains an important part of the STON fi ecosystem. Unlike the ARKESTON NFT, this token is tradable, and the team is continuously working on it.
Users can supply it to liquidity pools with a set APR.
For example, there is currently a liquidity pool:

$GEMSTON / $STON 0.80%

GEMSTON tokens are given to users for special activity and as a reward for those who actively use STONfi . They are also distributed as a reward to users who have staked $STON tokens.

Other DEX built on the $TON blockchain do not have ecosystem tokens, DAO development, or strong use cases for their main ecosystem tokens.
The STONfi team has introduced utility for each of its tokens that is genuinely applicable and beneficial to the community.
