According to a recent LinkedIn post from STONfi, the company is promoting the final weekend to apply for its STON.fi Vibe Coding Hackathon focused on building TON-based applications. The post describes a low-barrier format that relies on AI coding agents, emphasizes that no prior coding experience is required, and notes that participants will build on the STONfi and Tonstakers DeFi infrastructure.

The LinkedIn post highlights a small, curated cohort of 25 participants, a defined schedule from mid to late April, and a prize structure totaling several hundred dollars plus a participation pool. For investors, the initiative suggests an effort to grow the TON ecosystem around STONfi, stimulate developer and user engagement, and test new application ideas, which could support long-term network effects and platform usage if successful.
The post also points to the use of real DeFi primitives on TON during the hackathon, which may help surface practical use cases and integrations for STONfi’s infrastructure. While the monetary rewards are modest, the curated nature of the event and focus on experimentation could be indicative of an early-stage ecosystem-building strategy rather than a near-term revenue driver.
