We’re thrilled to introduce KTON Premium – the first institutional-grade TON staking solution purpose-built for institutional investors, fund managers, and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) holding Toncoin via vesting smart contracts. It brings a new standard of security and flexibility to TON staking with the following features:

• Officially certified staking solution for vested Toncoin by Telegram, TON Foundation, and TON Core
• Industry-leading yields up to 4.2% APY versus ≈3.36% elsewhere
• First to enable on-demand reward withdrawals for vesting contract owners

The golden era of institutional TON staking is here.

Challenges Facing Large TON Investors

With increasing TON adoption by DATs and institutions, demand for specialized staking infrastructure continues to grow. The dominant TON staking model for large holders has long been the single nominator, but it comes with persistent limitations:

1. High Entry Barrier

A traditional single nominator requires 1.4M TON (700K per A/B round) to join validator elections. Smaller holders must merge funds, creating additional security risks and yield loss.

2. Lack of Flexibility & Yields

Fund managers need the ability to withdraw rewards without touching principal, manage treasury cashflows, or share revenues with partners. Single nominators lack fund segregation, forcing users to unstake principal just to access rewards—interrupting cycles and lowering APY.

3. Vesting Contract Restrictions

Many large TON holders keep assets locked in vesting contracts, which cannot be transferred. Under the single nominator model, these issues are magnified:

• Smaller vesting wallets cannot pool funds to meet the 600K–800K TON threshold
• Rewards can only compound
• Validator providers must be whitelisted

Comparison: KTON Premium vs Traditional Staking Solutions

APY Comparison

KTON’s enhanced mytonctrl design ensures staking remains uninterrupted, even during withdrawals. Our researchers simulated a scenario where a client stakes 1M TON and withdraws rewards daily:

• Single Nominator: Each withdrawal requires unstaking principal, breaking the reward cycle. After one year, this leads to a loss of 21,458 TON in rewards.
• KTON Premium: With fund segregation and the upgraded mytonctrl, users can withdraw rewards without touching principal. No cycles missed, no rewards lost — applicable to both standard users and vesting contract holders.

In APY terms, single nominator users earn only ≈3.36%, while KTON Premium delivers up to 4.2%, meeting institutional needs for higher yields and flexible reward management.

Technical Architecture Comparison

Traditional Single Nominator Process

In a single nominator setup, users stake into a dedicated pool. The pool participates in elections to generate rewards.

However, withdrawals must include both principal and interest together. As a result, users forfeit at least one round of election rewards whenever they withdraw, reducing efficiency and yields.

KTON Premium Process

Built on TON Core V2 smart contracts, KTON Premium combines the scalability of pooled liquid staking with the simplicity of single nominators.

Stakers receive pKTON (1:1 receipt token) as proof of position. Rewards are earned in TON, with flexible payout options:

• Auto-Compound — converted into $KTON at chosen intervals for compounding
• Simple Interest — kept in TON for direct withdrawals

Withdrawals never touch principal, eliminating transfer risks and maximizing yield.
