TON DeFi
The technology of Scalable Tokens, or Jettons, has been developed.
It has served as the basis for the launch of DEXs, such as ston.fi and dedust.io, launchpads like tonstarter.com, the first ICO, IDO and even memecoins.
Now, anyone can create their own token in just one click via minter.ton.org or TonHub.
