According to a recent LinkedIn post from STONfi, the decentralized exchange is promoting a new “Boost Farm APR” initiative for its STON/USDt V2 liquidity pool throughout March. The post outlines tiered incentives where users who stake at least 500 STON can receive up to 1.5 times farm APR, and those staking 1,000 STON or more can reach up to 2 times farm APR, subject to caps and conditions.

The post indicates that the boosted rewards are distributed in STON via airdrop, with a maximum of $10,000 in eligible liquidity per participant and reward distribution scheduled through April 10. This structure appears designed to deepen liquidity and potentially support token demand and trading activity, which, if successful, could enhance fee generation and ecosystem stickiness but also concentrates exposure to STON price and campaign-budget constraints for participants.
As described in the LinkedIn post, the program is framed as a way to create “enduring value” by turning staking into a more strategic tool for reinforcing liquidity and supporting STON’s growth across its ecosystem. For investors, higher APR promotions may signal an aggressive user-acquisition and liquidity-building phase, which can boost short-term on-chain metrics while raising questions about the sustainability of returns once incentives normalize.
The post also includes a risk disclaimer emphasizing that rewards depend on market conditions, stake size, farm liquidity, and overall campaign budget, and it encourages users to perform their own research before providing liquidity or staking. This caution underscores the inherent volatility and smart-contract risks typical in DeFi yield programs, suggesting that while the campaign could improve STONfi’s competitive positioning among yield-seeking users, its ultimate financial impact will hinge on market adoption and token price performance during and after the incentive window.
