Catenaa, Thursday, December, 12, 2024 – P2P.org, a prominent staking platform, has integrated The Open Network (TON) blockchain, offering lower staking caps for over 20 million active wallets on the network. The move aims to attract retail users by removing staking caps and lowering the minimum staking requirement to just 1 Toncoin (TON).
This is a significant shift from other platforms, which often require minimum stakes ranging from 10,000 to 300,000 TON tokens. Additionally, P2P.org will still cater to larger holders with dedicated pools for “whales.”
Staking, the process of locking crypto assets to support proof-of-stake networks and earn rewards, continues to grow in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. “The staking market is undergoing rapid evolution, with 2025 poised to be the ‘Year of DeFi,’ bringing deeper integration between staking and decentralized finance,” said Alex Esin, CEO of P2P.org.
P2P.org’s competition includes established TON network providers like Tonstakers and Bemo, which also allow users to stake with just 1 TON. Tonstakers has over $45.8 million in TON staked, while Bemo has $15.2 million. As of December 5, liquid staking protocols held a total of $69.9 million in TON.
P2P.org already supports staking for over 40 cryptocurrencies, including Ether (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). The platform also launched its staking-as-a-business (SaaB) model in April to cater to institutional clients, custodians, and exchanges, with plans to explore maximal extractable value (MEV) strategies to enhance validator rewards.
