🎮 Telegram-Based P2E Games

Gaming has become a stand-out feature for TON, first with Notcoin and now with other games like CatizenAI and Hamster Kombat.

In summary, gaming on TON, whether through Catizen or Hamster Kombat, offers some (very) simple entertainment and real-world rewards, making it an attractive option for early speculators.

🔒 Liquid-Stake your TON for additional rewards

Like most PoS ecosystems, liquid staking with Tonstakers or Bemo Finance lets you use your TON to earn additional rewards.

- bemo_finance is another non-custodial liquid staking protocol on TON. It allows users to stake TON tokens and receive $stTON tokens in return that can be freely used in DeFi and increase in value as staking rewards are earned.

Both Tonstakers and Bemo Finance offer excellent opportunities for users to earn rewards through staking, making them valuable tools for maximizing your TON holdings.

🫳 Swap tokens on DEXs

DEXs lie at the center of TON’s DeFi ecosystem to drive the network forward, particularly http://STON.fi and DeDust.

💰 Lend through money markets

Lending platforms on TON offer additional ways to leverage your assets and turn a profit.

- evaaprotocol is a lending platform on the TON network that allows users to lend and borrow assets like TON, stTON, $tsTON , and $USDT directly from Telegram.

With double-digit interest rates for TON and USDT, the platform stands out as a competitive option for participating in DeFi and earning additional yield on your TON — way higher than with staking! The protocol currently has an XP points program, which can be later burned in exchange for the $EVAA token when it launches.

-
daolama_ton offers NFT lending for TON, currently supporting over 35 collections. On the platform, users can choose an NFT they’d like to rent out in exchange for TON, create a proposal, and then, when confirmed, receive TON based on the proposal's guidelines. Additionally, DAOLama’s marketplace offers a Buy Now, Pay Later feature for NFTs, allowing you to purchase NFTs like Anonymous Telegram Numbers 👀 for 41 TON instead of 113 TON.

In conclusion, Evaa Protocol and DAOLama TON offer unique and user-friendly lending solutions, providing even more avenues for earning yield on TON.

🤑 Trade crypto derivatives
