DeDust, the largest TON-based decentralized exchange liquidity pool, saw its TVL surge by over 50% in the last week, reaching nearly $300 million. Smaller protocols like DAOLama, bemo, Stakee, and EVAA also recorded double-digit growth during the same period.

Meme Coin Rally and Layer 1 Outperformance
In addition to the rise in TVL and TON’s price, meme coins deployed on The Open Network have rallied over the past day. Meme coins native to TON such as Resistance Dog (REDO) and The Resistance Cat (RECA), have increased by 12.8% and 60.9%, respectively over the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, a recent CryptoQuant report also revealed that TON has become one of the top-performing Layer 1 blockchains in 2024, outpacing Bitcoin by 118% since the start of the year, while other popular Layer 1 chains have struggled to gain momentum.
The TON blockchain, initially developed by the team behind the popular messaging app Telegram and led by the Durov brothers, was created to integrate cryptocurrency and blockchain functionality into the Telegram ecosystem.
This integration has led to the popularity of a series of play-to-earn mini-games that can be played on the messaging app, further boosting the network’s appeal. Simplistic and token-rewarding games such as Notcoin, Yescoin, and Hamster Kombat have become particularly popular, driving more users to the platform.
