Providing liquidity always comes with exposure to price movement, and one of the most discussed risks is impermanent loss. This occurs when the value of tokens inside a pool shifts significantly compared to when they were deposited. On the TON blockchain, a targeted mitigation mechanism has been implemented specifically for the STON/USDT pool to address this concern.

The IL Offset model is structured to compensate liquidity providers when token prices move sharply, covering deviations of up to 2x and protecting as much as 5.72% of the pool’s total value locked. This mechanism functions automatically and applies to every participant in the pool, including those earning additional rewards through farming programs.

If price divergence creates measurable loss, the system distributes compensation in STON tokens to offset the difference, with automatic coverage capped at $100 per position. This structured safeguard significantly improves confidence for participants supporting deep-liquidity pools, particularly during volatile market cycles when exposure risk tends to increase.

Beyond this specific offset framework, additional risk-management tools exist across the ecosystem. For highly correlated assets such as stablecoin pairs or tsTON/TON, WStableSwap pools are utilized to reduce slippage and limit pricing imbalance during execution. These pools are engineered for assets that are expected to trade near equivalent value, helping to absorb large swaps with minimal disruption.

By deploying specialized smart contract models tailored to different asset behaviors, the protocol creates a more predictable and controlled liquidity environment. This layered protection architecture allows participants to engage in decentralized finance activities with clearer expectations around execution outcomes.

A solid understanding of these built-in safeguards is essential for anyone contributing capital to liquidity pools. While market volatility remains inherent to digital assets, automated mitigation systems meaningfully reduce its impact. STONfi continues refining these protective structures to maintain a secure, professional, and resilient liquidity framework on the TON network
