# TON and optimized by STONfi
More than 31.7 million swaps, 5.8 million unique swappers and roughly $6.9 billion in volume illustrate a system designed for continuous micro-activity rather than episodic bursts. The explanation lies in disciplined architecture and focused engineering: a sharded base layer, fast finality, lean native contracts, and consolidated liquidity routing.
TON’s dynamic sharding distributes load across shardchains as demand grows, preventing single-chain chokepoints and enabling genuine horizontal scaling. Combined with Proof-of-Stake finality measured in seconds and negligible gas, the protocol makes frequent small transactions economically feasible.
STONfi’s smart contracts are native to TON’s virtual machine, not backwards-ported. Each swap touches only essential components—wallet, pool, routing—minimizing execution steps and keeping per-trade overhead low. That compact footprint increases throughput and reduces execution failures.
