Case Study

Challenge

When blockchain networks face high traffic, apps with swap functionality require infrastructure that performs reliably under load. During a major token airdrop, TON Blockchain saw transaction volumes nearly triple, with cross-shard message complexity creating processing queues and the network prioritizing simpler transactions. Apps relying on swaps experienced delays and variable execution rates, highlighting the need for infrastructure partners that ensure consistent performance even during peak activity

Solution

During the high-traffic period, STON.fi's first response was to pause swaps to protect users. After that, the team implemented architectural improvements to optimize swap functionality, ensuring both user asset security and app reliability. STON.fi enhanced their infrastructure by deploying distributed routers across multiple blockchain shards, streamlining transaction message complexity from 8 to 5 messages per swap and implementing deadline parameters that provide automatic transaction management

Results

• STON.fi became the liquidity backbone for apps on TON
• Users can quickly and reliably swap tokens at optimal rates
• Major launches and high-traffic events are easily handled
