Key Takeaways Ethena’s stablecoin USDe and its staked version tsUSDe are now live on the TON blockchain. This integration allows Telegram users to earn DeFi yields using familiar wallets like TON Space, MyTonWallet, TonHub, and TonKeeper. A 16-week campaign offers users up to 18% APY on tsUSDe holdings, subject to eligibility criteria. Ethena has officially launched its native integration with the TON blockchain, expanding its DeFi ecosystem by providing USDe and the staked tsUSDe to more than a billion Telegram users. This move integrates Ethena’s dollar-pegged savings directly into popular Telegram-based wallets, including TON Space, MyTonWallet, TonHub, and TonKeeper. Consequently, Ethena makes it easy and secure for users to access, purchase, and stake USDe—all while staying inside the Telegram app. The launch aims to enhance accessibility and financial tools for users worldwide, especially in areas where traditional banking remains limited. By seamlessly integrating with Telegram’s wallet ecosystem, Ethena leverages an active user base and removes common onboarding hurdles in DeFi. Ethena Launches 16-Week High-APY Campaign To encourage adoption, Ethena introduced a 16-week campaign featuring attractive annual percentage yields (APY) for users staking USDe to receive tsUSDe. The promotion begins with a 10% bonus APY, which gradually decreases to 5% in the final weeks, on top of the base 8% yield of tsUSDe. Eligible participants must hold at least 10 tsUSDe and 10 TON tokens in qualifying wallets to earn rewards, which are distributed weekly. The boosted APY is capped at 10, 000 tsUSDe per wallet to ensure fairness among all users. Rewards are paid out in TON tokens, highlighting efforts to engage and attract liquidity into the TON DeFi ecosystem. Streamlined Access via Non-Custodial Wallets The process to earn and stake USDe is now optimized for mobile users as well.

USDe can be acquired or transferred onto the TON network through various methods, including direct purchases via DeFi swaps on TON or withdrawals from centralized exchanges such as ByBit and MEXC. Once USDe is in their wallets, users can easily stake it into tsUSDe through straightforward, wallet-specific steps designed for a seamless experience. This process accommodates both experienced DeFi users and newcomers exploring digital finance for the first time. With tsUSDe distributing earnings every eight hours and deep integration into Telegram’s app ecosystem, Ethena’s launch marks a significant step toward making decentralized finance more accessible, straightforward, and rewarding for all.
