TONYield by LevelQ - Redefining How DeFi Infrastructure Operates on TON

Associated Press

29-04-2025

New York, United States, April 29, 2025 -- The evolving DeFi landscape on The Open Network (TON) offers immense opportunities, but it remains largely fragmented, complex, and inaccessible to everyday users. TONYield, developed by LevelQ, addresses this challenge through a purpose-built Telegram Mini-App that combines yield aggregation, automation, and seamless user experience directly within Telegram's interface. In doing so, it introduces a DeFi infrastructure layer native to TON and unlocks new potential for the ecosystem.
Manual DeFi on TON Is a Barrier
Despite TON's rapid growth, the decentralized finance tools available to its users remain challenging to navigate. Engaging with liquidity pools, staking protocols, or farming platforms typically requires:
This results in a high barrier to entry, particularly for Telegram's growing user base interested in crypto but underserved by current interfaces.
Automated Yield, Native to Telegram
TONYield addresses this problem directly. The app brings optimized DeFi automation directly into the Telegram interface. From within the app, users can:
Importantly, TONYield does this without requiring users to leave Telegram—bridging the interface gap that most DeFi products struggle to overcome.
Powered by Real Infrastructure
Unlike some yield protocols that rely on farming incentives alone, TONYield acts as an infrastructure partner to the TON blockchain. It integrates deeply with key on-chain protocols:
This modular architecture enables LevelQ to scale with the ecosystem. Users can expect new vaults, risk-adjusted strategies, and enhanced analytics as integrations expand.
Collaborative Infrastructure: TONYield as a Yield Layer for the Ecosystem
TONYield is part of a growing movement of DeFi innovation on TON. Projects like Parroton, Beetroot, SettleTON, United Finance, and Thunder Finance each play a role in expanding the ecosystem. Rather than viewing these as competitors, LevelQ sees them as future collaborators. The TONYield platform is designed as a modular infrastructure layer, capable of integrating and supporting partner vaults, yield strategies, and staking solutions.
Through TONYield's upcoming Yield Marketplace, these protocols can distribute their offerings directly within a Telegram-native interface — providing users with more diverse, efficient ways to earn yield. This approach increases visibility for newer protocols, helps them scale faster, and ensures users benefit from a broader selection of opportunities, all under a single, trusted UX.
This infrastructure-centric vision not only enables protocol collaboration, it creates a flywheel: more integrated protocols mean more vault options, which attracts more users and capital, which in turn benefits every participant in the ecosystem.
Rapid Growth and Adoption
Since launching less than a month ago, TONYield has recorded:
The project continues to roll out new integrations, partner vaults, and promotional campaigns in tandem with the broader TON ecosystem.
Market Opportunity: The Road to $200M TVL
TON's DeFi infrastructure is still in its early days, but the opportunity is significant. TON blockchain currently has close to $600 mln in TVL with more than 50% of it in Tonstakers, StonFi and Dedust. In theory, all TON LST in excess of what is in DeDust and StonFi TON/LST TON can be serviced by LevelQ. Furthermore, a significant portion of circulating TON isn't earning any yield as it is neither in DEX pool, or in LST protocol or even in LST. We use a conservative estimate of 5% of those TON to be included into the TAM. We arrive at $904 mln as our TAM, of which $652 mln is the 5% of TON circulating supply while the remaining $252 mln is the excess of LST TON not used in DeFi.
TONYield's yield marketplace model is inherently collaborative: by curating, optimizing, and distributing third-party strategies, it drives liquidity toward a wider set of protocols while offering users a one-stop platform for yield discovery. The benefits ripple outward:
Vision: Becoming the DeFi Yield Engine of TON
Looking forward, LevelQ aims to evolve TONYield into a composable, yield-routing protocol that powers:
By placing infrastructure at the center, TONYield is not just another yield protocol—it is the foundation for a secure, user-friendly, and composable yield layer on TON.
