TON Staking: Solo Pool for Single Nominator Structures

The TON (The Open Network) blockchain has experienced remarkable growth recently, solidifying its place among leading blockchain ecosystems. With over 33.6 million activated wallets, 7.2m transactions per day and 652m TON staked, TON is becoming a common asset of interest for institutions.

Since August 2023, Twinstake has been a dedicated validator on the TON blockchain, harnessing our extensive expertise to run high-performance, institutionally-suited validators. Our commitment to excellence in staking has driven us to continuously enhance our software and hardware stack, tailoring it to the nuanced requirements of TON and this focus on optimal efficiency enables us to maintain competitive APRs that meet and often exceed the wider market's performance, positioning Twinstake as the trusted validator for institutional investors.

In our latest innovation, Twinstake now offers the ability to enable the single nominator contract to be run with only one pool, providing access to staking rewards for private validators, with a lower minimum stake threshold.

Traditionally, both the single and multi-nominator structure require two pools which take part in the two track validation cycle. Each pool moves through the election stage into the validation stage and finally through the holding period. Each pool currently requires between 490,000 - 510,000 TON (as of November 2024) to be staked in order to stay within the active set. However with our solution clients can utilise the single nominator structure with just a solo pool. This improvement significantly lowers the minimum staking requirement, reducing it from the current threshold of ~1,000,000 TON to ~490,000 TON, and all whilst maintaining the required validator duties to collect the full available rewards.

Our approach therefore allows clients to best optimize their stakeable TON and with this structure they can achieve a position in the active validator set and earn staking rewards, all whilst locking up half the funds that would be required to when using the dual pool structure.

At Twinstake, we are committed to continually evolving our staking solutions, pushing the boundaries of innovation to deliver secure, high-reward opportunities for institutional clients on TON.
