The stTON token is now supported by over 10 protocols and has partnerships with 20+ projects within TON DeFi. These integrations make stTON more versatile and accessible for users.
Building on these successes, we turned our attention to deepening community engagement and expanding our ecosystem.
Technological Improvements and Expanded Functionality
Launch of a Mini-App on Telegram
In a major step toward improving accessibility, we integrated core bemo features directly into Telegram. Now, users can interact with the platform—accessing staking, analytics, and more—without leaving their favorite messenger. This innovation reflects our commitment to user convenience and adaptability.Introduction of an FAQ Section
To make the platform even more user-friendly, we launched a comprehensive FAQ section and added useful articles. These resources provide valuable tips and guidance, ensuring users can easily navigate the platform and maximize their experience.

Your input drives our improvements, and we’re committed to continuous innovation. The new design features an intuitive interface that ensures seamless navigation for both new and experienced users. Also, we updated the protocol's primary domain to bemo.fi.
Building on these technological advancements, we turned our focus to strengthening our team and fostering deeper community connections.
Community-Focused Initiatives
Completion of the stXP Incentive Program
As the year ended, we wrapped up the stXP incentive program, rewarding participants for their engagement with tokenized stXP. This marks the first phase of our airdrop initiative, paving the way for the upcoming release of the $BMO token.
Sharing Monthly Statistics
To enhance transparency, we began publishing monthly updates on user growth, TVL, activity, and other key metrics. These reports help us stay connected with our community and demonstrate our ongoing progress.

This year, we added two support managers and a community manager to provide better assistance and foster meaningful interactions with our growing community.

Strengthening Collaborations
We established new partnerships with Torch, Utonic, TBook, TONCO, and others while continuing to work closely with longtime collaborators like EVAA and Dedust. These alliances amplify the impact of the TON ecosystem and introduce bemo to new audiences.
These partnerships, combined with our community-driven initiatives, reinforced our global recognition.
