Pavel Durov just posted that Telegram will take a bigger role in the $TON blockchain, even becoming the largest validator and taking over as the main driving force behind the network.
He also mentioned that network fees have already been reduced by 6x, bringing transfers down to near-zero levels around $0.0005 per transaction.
That’s a big shift.
Because when fees drop that low, it directly changes how people interact with the ecosystem trading, swaps, and on-chain activity all become cheaper and more frequent.
For DeFi, this has a clear impact.
On DEXs like STON.fi, where low fees and fast execution already stand out, this makes the experience even more efficient.
Swaps become cheaper, movement between assets becomes smoother, and overall usage feels lighter and faster.
It also makes sense why we’re seeing a TON ecosystem-wide pump today.
When core network changes like this happen, the market usually reacts quickly and it looks like the message has already been priced in by users and traders.
At the same time, tokens like $PENGU are also starting to show more movement on the charts, adding to the broader momentum across the space.
So right now, it feels like everything in the TON ecosystem is reacting to the same catalyst lower fees, higher activity, and stronger network attention.
