💎 #dApp of the week: Hipo Finance

Earn rewards on your crypto while still using it? That’s exactly what Hipo — a liquid staking protocol on TON — lets you do. Let’s break it down 👇

What is liquid staking?

Normally, when you stake crypto, your funds are locked up — you earn your rewards, but can’t use the tokens. Liquid staking changes that 📊

With Hipo, you can stake your Toncoin and earn up to 4% APY, while receiving hTON in return — a liquid staking token that accrues in value and represents your stake. You can use hTON across TON DeFi: as collateral, for trading, or even staking it again in other dApps.

Let’s say you stake 100 TON at an average 4% annual yield. You’ll get 100 hTON right away. After a year, you could redeem those 100 hTON for 104 TON — your original deposit plus rewards 💰

Hipo Club

When you stake through Hipo, you join Hipo Club and start earning XP — experience points awarded for staking TON and participating in app activities like completing daily tasks or inviting friends.

Hipo runs time-limited seasons. At the end of each one, the team airdrops HPO, their governance and profit-sharing token, based on your earned XP. While seasons are time-limited, it’s still not too late to stake TON and qualify for the next HPO drop ❤️

Profit-sharing token?

HPO isn’t just a token — it’s your voice in the protocol. HPO gives you the right to vote in Hipo’s DAO and earn a share of the protocol’s revenue 🫴

How do I start?

Open the Hipo app and connect TON Space at the top of the screen. On the main screen, tap “Stake TON”, enter the amount, and confirm. You’ll receive hTON instantly, and your XP will be visible inside the app 👍

💳 Buy Toncoin directly in TON Space

You can now buy Toncoin using a bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay — directly in TON Space with just a few taps.

It’s easy to top up: select “Deposit” on the main screen, choose “Bank card” and follow the app prompts 👛

🖼 Got an NFT voucher? Don’t rush to open it

We continue our #safety series, where we break down popular scam tactics and how to avoid them. Today’s topic: the classic fake NFT giveaway.

Imagine this: you open TON Space and see a new NFT. The description claims you’ve received 300 USDT — just follow the link to claim it. Sounds tempting. Maybe it’s even a “gift” from a project you recently interacted with? 🤔

After thinking it over, you click the link and land on a professional-looking website. It asks you to verify ownership of the NFT — to do that, you’re asked to log in. There are two options: enter your seed phrase or connect your wallet.

Your seed phrase is sometimes referred to as a “recovery phrase” or “secret phrase” 💎

Since you already know you should never share your recovery phrase, you choose the other option — connecting your wallet. The site immediately prompts you to “approve” a transaction in TON Space. Already thinking about what you’ll spend your 300 USDT on, you click confirm… and all your funds are gone 👎

What happened? The NFT was bait, and the site was fake. Scammers send out fake tokens like this and wait for users to click the link in the description. From there, they either trick you into sharing your recovery phrase so they can take over your wallet or get you to sign a transaction that transfers your funds directly to them.

How to stay safe:

● Don’t follow links or scan QR codes from unknown NFTs.
● Never share your recovery phrase — enter it only in TON Space.
● Ignore suspicious “gifts” — anyone can send you an NFT if they know your address.
● Always review every transaction before confirming it.
● And remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

NFTs aren’t dangerous by themselves. The only danger lies in what you might accidentally do if you let your guard down 🛡

🍾 Ethena is live in TON Space: earn up to 18% APY on USDe!

Ethena, one of the leading DeFi protocols on Ethereum, is expanding beyond its native chain and joining the TON ecosystem. This means TON Space users can now earn up to 18% APY on USDe — a synthetic crypto dollar token issued by Ethena.

Getting started is simple: go to the “Earn” section on the main screen, tap “Deposit” and swap your USDT for USDe with minimal slippage. Then tap “Start Earning” enter the desired amount of USDe, and follow the in-app instructions 💎

In return, you’ll receive tsUSDe — a token that represents your deposit and rewards earned from Ethena. Its value gradually increases over time, by becoming redeemable for an increasing amount of USDe. When you’re ready to get your USDe back, tap “Unstake” and after 7 days, your initial deposit plus earned rewards in USDe will be returned to your TON Space 🏦

To celebrate the integration with Ethena, you can earn up to 18% APY: 8% in USDe and an additional 10% in Toncoin, both credited directly in TON Space. Please note: The additional 10% APY in Toncoin may not be available in certain regions.

Don’t miss the chance to earn up to 18% APY by simply holding crypto in Telegram 💙

🍫 Tether Gold is live in TON Space

Thanks to a recent partnership between Tether, USDt0, TON Foundation, and The Open Platform, digital gold (XAUt0) is now available to TON Space users.

Each XAUt0 reflects the price of one troy ounce of gold, securely stored in Swiss vaults.

Compared to other digital assets, gold offers a range of benefits:

● It has a proven track record of increasing in value. For example, in 2024, the average price of gold was $2,384, and by June 2025, it climbed to almost $3,350 ↗️

● Gold is also a popular hedge against inflation. It’s often seen as a "safe haven" investment, with its value typically rising when the cost of goods and services goes up.

You can now get Tether Gold directly in TON Space 👇

1. Open TON Space and choose "Swap" on the main screen.

2. You’ll see the swap screen: at the top, select TON (or USDT) from the dropdown menu and enter the amount you want to exchange for gold.

3. At the bottom, choose XAUt0 — you can find it by using the search bar.

4. Select "Check Details" and confirm the transaction 🎉

🐷 Everything you need to know to start earning 18% APY in TON Space

You can now earn up to 18% APY on USDe — a synthetic crypto dollar from Ethena — right inside TON Space: 8% in USDe and an extra 10% in Toncoin 💪

How does it work?

First, you’ll need USDe. You can swap your USDT for USDe directly in TON Space — just open the “Earn” section on the main screen, select Ethena, and tap “Deposit.” After the swap, tap “Start Earning,” enter the amount of USDe you want to stake, and follow the in-app instructions 💎

If you keep your USDT on an exchange or another service, you can transfer it to TON Space via the TON network.

Once you stake USDe, you’ll receive tsUSDe — a token that reflects your deposit and passive rewards. Its value grows over time: the longer you hold tsUSDe, the more USDe you’ll get back when you unstake 👛

To earn the full 18% APY, just stake at least 14 USDe and continue to hold 10 Toncoin or more in TON Space.
