Storm Trade is live on Mainnet

Storm Trade Mainnet has officially been launched, aiming to elevate TON’s DeFi landscape. Supported by TONcoin.Fund and incubated by Tonstarter, it is the first TON-based DEX offering leverage trading, with futures trading available through its web app and Telegram Web App.

Currently, traders can engage with three key markets: TON, BTC, and ETH, all seamlessly paired with jUSDT. Moreover, users can benefit from the "Eye of the Storm" pre-TGE rewards program. By providing liquidity and trading, they can earn Reward Points among other incentives.

Storm Trade seeks to enhance the TON Ecosystem by attracting a broad user base. It is especially geared towards enriching TON's DeFi capabilities for both traders and scalpers. The integration of jUSDT further solidifies the functionality of the stablecoin’s role within The Open Network.

​The Gateway's first Diamond sponsor

The Gateway proudly presents its Diamond sponsor, Orbs. Orbs is a L3 public blockchain infrastructure project powered by PoS, pioneering on-chain innovation since 2017.

Orbs is a separate execution layer between L1/L2 solutions and the application layer, as part of a tiered blockchain stack, enhancing the capabilities of smart contracts and powering protocols.

Tal Kol, CTO of Orbs and TON Ambassador, will share insights at the Gateway. He has significantly contributed to the ecosystem by developing TON Vote, TON Access, and TON Verifier.

TON Access
This decentralized RPC API provider allows any dApp user unrestricted access to the chain. TON Access offers developers a seamless integration experience, enabling them to embed it into their web clients in just five minutes.

TON Vote
TON Vote emerges as the ecosystem's leading no-code governance tool. It serves as a space where TON Foundation, alongside major token and NFT communities, can conduct decentralized votes on proposals.

TON Contract Verifier
The TON Contract Verifier is dedicated to publishing the source code of FunC and Tact smart contracts. It leverages Orbs technology to ensure decentralized source code verification.

On the EVM side, Orbs is trailblazing DEX innovation with dLIMIT, dTWAP, and Liquidity Hub.
