Ever thought trading could be as convenient as on a CEX, without needing to go through verification? If not, it’s time to imagine your boldest dreams, because we’ve made them real!
In this article, we present the biggest Storm Trade protocol update in recent months and show how it makes our platform the fastest DEX on the TON blockchain!
🚀 The evolution of Storm Trade
Our users know that trading is dynamic, and every second can determine a deal’s outcome. Until recently, opening and closing positions on Storm Trade could take time due to the nature of the TON blockchain, sometimes causing prices to slip and disrupt traders’ strategies.
Today, we’re proud to introduce Storm Trade V2, a game-changer.
We've fully redesigned the protocol to offer features that even centralized exchanges don’t always provide: zero slippage, guaranteed SL/TP order execution, and minimal position opening times!
⚡️ How does Storm Trade V2 work?
Storm Trade V2 has a unique integrated solution unmatched by any other DEX on TON, called the Sequencer.
The Sequencer is an innovative order queue management system that eliminates delays and slippage. Now, when you open a position, the execution time and price are fixed almost instantly.
See Figure 1 for more detail.
1. Order time and price lock
Previously, each order was locked only after a blockchain transaction completed, adding extra time. With the new Sequencer, time and price are locked right after signing, significantly speeding up the process.
Check the character in Figure 1 — that’s the user signing a transaction. Once the order is signed, it goes to the Relayer, where its key parameters are instantly locked. The system fixes the price at the moment the order is placed and ensures execution at this price, even if it changes while the transaction completes.
2. Sequential queue execution
From the Relayer, all orders enter the Sequencer, which organizes and processes them sequentially, minimizing slippage risk and stabilizing execution prices. Each order is processed in its turn, preventing random delays and prioritization confusion. Orders are grouped into “batches” every 3 seconds, similar to blockchain blocks, for precise execution.
3. Guaranteed SL/TP execution: protecting against unwanted price deviations
Storm Trade has always aimed to provide users with precise Stop Loss and Take Profit order execution. In the first protocol version, high market volatility often affected order execution, leading to unpleasant surprises.
With the updated protocol, Storm Trade V2 offers users:
-
Precise SL/TP Execution — Orders are executed at the closest possible price, even during market swings. Orders enter the Seq_Engine queue and are executed in priority order.
-
Transparent Execution — Now you can track your order execution in real-time from the start, giving you full control and insight into every step.
4. Instant order and position opening
In V1, users saw a new position only after it was recorded on the blockchain, which took up to 120 seconds on average. During this time, traders were left in the dark, with blockchain overloads sometimes increasing wait times. Position or order information appeared only after transaction completion, keeping protocol activity “behind the scenes.”
In Storm Trade V2, we’ve changed this display approach so traders can instantly see their positions and orders, regardless of TON network load. Figure 2 shows a comparison between the old and new protocol versions.
⚖️ Risks to keep in mind
We always prioritize the safety and comfort of our users, and as with any major tech upgrade, Storm Trade has some risks to consider:
-
Before a user signs a transaction, the asset price may change, affecting the final execution price. Tip: act quickly when signing a transaction to capture the moment.
-
Remember that the liquidation price isn’t guaranteed, as it depends on accumulated funding and position collateral, especially in coin-margined pairs. In cases of drastic collateral value changes, like a drop in NOT price, the liquidation price adjusts proportionally.
-
Closing positions not yet processed by the blockchain is possible only with limit orders set in advance. Margin top-ups and manual closures become available once the blockchain processes the position-opening transaction. In the next protocol version, we plan a feature enabling traders to close positions quickly.
🔥 What’s next?
A decentralized exchange should be convenient! Our next step is to let users trade on the platform without frequent wallet confirmations.
We’ll introduce gasless orders, allowing trades to process without fees, making the platform experience even smoother.
Additionally, our team is working on interface and user experience improvements. Soon, you’ll see an updated user profile and more intuitive position displays.
🤝 Summary: speed and reliability comparable to centralized exchanges
Storm Trade V2 brings decentralized trading to a new level. With the new Sequencer and improved order processing, users can trust their orders will execute accurately and on time, without significant delays or cancellations.
Storm Trade is a next-generation DEX, offering the convenience and reliability of centralized exchanges while preserving the benefits of decentralization.
