The TON ecosystem has undergone a quiet yet transformative evolution, with PixelSwap emerging as a pioneering decentralized exchange (DEX) that combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable tokenomics. This article explores how PixelSwap, under the LayerPixel framework, addresses structural challenges within TON while redefining user experience and liquidity management.
PixelSwap: The Core DEX in LayerPixel's Architecture
LayerPixel: A Modular Layer 1.5 Solution for TON
LayerPixel serves as a modular Layer 1.5 solution on TON, designed to overcome the chain’s asynchronous heterogeneity and enhance its sharding capabilities. By integrating DeFi functionalities with Telegram Mini Apps, LayerPixel offers a comprehensive ecosystem comprising:
- PixelSwap: TON’s first modular DEX supporting advanced trading models like weighted pools and Liquidity Bootstrapping Pools (LBP).
- PixelWallet: A smart contract wallet with account abstraction (AA) for seamless DApp interactions.
- Pixacle: A decentralized oracle providing real-time price feeds for DApps and smart contracts.
- Developer Tools: SDKs, APIs, and battle-tested resources to streamline TON-based development.
PixelSwap’s Multidimensional Impact
- Security: Audited by top-tier blockchain security firms to ensure asset safety.
- User Experience: Telegram Bot integration enables one-click DEX operations within Mini Apps.
Technical Innovations:
- Atomic Swaps: Bundles authorization, transfers, and swaps into a single transaction, reducing gas fees and eliminating intermediate risks.
- Weighted Pools & LBP: Dynamic liquidity management tools for fairer token distribution and reduced price volatility.
PixelSwap’s Simplification of Trading: A Technical Breakdown
Atomic Swaps: Streamlining Complex Transactions
PixelSwap’s atomic swap technology leverages TON’s smart contract messaging system to execute multi-step trades as a single, irreversible operation. This mirrors the simplicity of centralized exchanges while retaining decentralization benefits.
Weighted Pools and LBP: Advanced Liquidity Solutions
- Weighted Pools: Use the formula (x^a \cdot y^{1-a} = k) to adjust token weights dynamically, minimizing slippage.
- LBP: Automatically recalibrates token ratios during launches, allowing projects to achieve price discovery without whale dominance.

- 20% to early investors (5% unlocked at TGE, followed by a 4-month cliff and 18-month linear vesting).
- 15% to core team (12-month lockup, 24-month vesting).
- 15% for ecosystem growth (IDO, advisors, liquidity provision).
Revenue Sharing and Early Initiatives
- Protocol Fees: 50% funds development; 50% goes to a DAO-governed treasury.
- Early Adoption: 3.5% of tokens allocated to airdrops, partnerships (e.g., Gate.io’s initial offering), and liquidity incentives.
Conclusion: Building Through Market Cycles
The TON ecosystem’s journey reflects the broader narrative of blockchain adoption—initial hype giving way to grounded innovation. PixelSwap exemplifies this shift by focusing on:
- Technical Robustness: Solving real-world problems like fragmented liquidity.
- Sustainable Growth: Aligning tokenomics with long-term ecosystem health.
- Community Trust: Rewarding genuine users over speculative actors.
As the ecosystem matures, projects like PixelSwap underscore the importance of infrastructure resilience in driving mass adoption.
