P2P.org Expands Staking Options with TON Integration, Targeting Retail and Institutional Users
P2P.org, a staking platform, is expanding its services by integrating with The Open Network (TON) blockchain, offering lower staking thresholds for the network’s 20 million active users.
The platform has removed staking limits and now requires just 1 Toncoin for participation, making it more accessible compared to other platforms that typically demand larger minimum stakes, ranging from 10,000 to 300,000 TON tokens. For larger investors, P2P.org will also offer pools catering to whales.
Staking, which involves locking up cryptocurrency to help secure and operate proof-of-stake networks, allows users to earn rewards. It’s an increasingly popular element of decentralized finance (DeFi), with Ethereum being one of the leading assets in this space. P2P.org’s CEO, Alex Esin, expects 2025 to be a pivotal year for DeFi, with staking playing a significant role.

However, P2P.org will face stiff competition from established platforms like Tonstakers and Bemo on the TON network. Both already offer staking with a minimum of just 1 TON, with Tonstakers having $45.8 million staked and Bemo holding $15.2 million as of early December. Liquid staking protocols on TON currently have a total of $69.9 million locked in.
P2P.org supports staking for over 40 cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Cosmos, Tezos, and Cardano. In April, the platform launched a Staking-as-a-Business (SaaB) model targeting institutional clients. The company is also exploring strategies like maximal extractable value (MEV) to enhance rewards for validators. Esin highlighted that the growing institutional interest in staking, along with clearer regulations, will help solidify staking as a key part of mainstream financial strategies.
