💡 Why Tax Tokens Aren't on STON.fi

Stonfiers! Ever wondered why you haven't seen tax tokens on STON.fi? We'll explain what they are and why our interface filters them out.

What are tax tokens?

Tax (fee-on-transfer) tokens automatically skim a percentage from every transfer inside the token's own code. The receiver gets less than expected, and there's no standard for how this works. Some take 2%, others 10%. Many let owners change rates after launch or block addresses from selling.

Why we filter them

Our goal is a predictable, composable swap experience. To protect users and keep outcomes reliable, STON.fi hides tax tokens in the interface. Here’s why:

💎 Without a unified standard, tax tokens create unpredictable swap outcomes our contracts can't safely model
💎 They may cause tokens to get stuck mid-route in complex flows, making recovery difficult or impossible
💎 We balance safety through interface guardrails while keeping the protocol permissionless. If TON adopts a standard for tax tokens, we'll evaluate their support in future updates

Understanding tax tokens helps you avoid costly surprises and stick to assets that behave as expected.
