t0ns year one in review: how the product direction took shape, how an early community formed, and the pre-launch work on swaps, routing and Earn.

Who is building t0ns: CEO Alex Horbov on why DeFi still feels hard, and how the engineering, marketing and operations teams approach pre-launch work.

The social layer of DeFi is its community, the people who share knowledge, help newcomers judge protocols, and stay active through market cycles.

DeFi education shapes the next wave of users. Trading draws people in, while quests and community help newcomers learn how DeFi works by doing.

Why trust still matters in DeFi: what a smart contract audit checks, what it does not rule out, and how open code and public reports let users verify.

t0ns is in pre-launch. This roadmap sets out what is being built for decentralized finance on TON, inside Telegram, and what is planned next.

Quests in DeFi are hands-on tasks, such as a token swap or an on-chain vote, that reward users as they learn how decentralized tools work.

Smart routing compares the paths a swap can take across DEX pools. t0ns is designed to rank those routes by net output after fees and slippage.

Impermanent loss can outweigh the fees a liquidity provider earns when pooled token prices diverge. Pool choice and smart contract bugs add further risk.
