Where to invest Toncoin. Part 2

Validator’s staking

Validators verify transactions in the TON network, they invest their coins as a deposit (at least 600,000 Toncoin) and receive a reward for validation (about 13% per annum). Nominators can receive a portion of their income/revenue.

What should to be done

Ordinary Toncoin holders may invest their coins in the validator's staking pool and receive a share of its profits. To date, there are several centralized staking pools in the TON network(without a smart contract) and one decentralized one (with a smart contract) from the TonWhales team. The minimum deposit for different validators varies from 50 to 100 Toncoin.

What you get

The average yield from staking for validators is about 10% per annum, incomes depend on the profitability of the validator itself. The reward is usually accrued every 36 hours. If money is not withdrawn, interest will also be accrued on this income.

What to pay attention to

Centralized staking is less secure than decentralized. Pay attention to the conditions for withdrawing funds.

NFT

Buying NFTs is another option for investing Toncoin. NFTs in TON are not just pictures
bought with the expectation of reselling at a higher price.

Serious projects offer further practical application of NFTs: our Mintosaurs, for example, are integrated with the Tonometer social network, where NFTs are used while assigning the owners’ ratings. Mintosaurs also give the right to use the verification functional and mail-out at a discount.

What should be done

Many NFTs in TON now offer various staking formats, where long-term holding of tokens allows you to get Toncoins. In Mintosaurs, this is implemented in a lottery format based on the rarity of the acquired NFTs.

What you get

Some projects offer fixed income but this carries regulatory risks. That’s why Mintosaurs staking does not offer guaranteed revenue.

What to pay attention to?

NFTs are highly risky investments. When choosing an NFT, ask yourself these questions: who's on the team? have they been mentioned in other major channels? is there a roadmap? is there practical applicability?

Perpetual swap trading

Such a tool is provided by the OKX, FTX and Gate.io exchanges. Strictly speaking, this point does not apply directly to investing Toncoin. In this case, you invest USDT in a Toncoin perpetual futures contract and you will get revenue in USDT.

Perpetual contracts allow traders to benefit from Toncoin price change without holding the underlying asset itself. A detailed guide on swaps is available here.

What to pay attention to: swaps are a high-risk tool suitable only for experienced traders - due to the use of leverage, the risk of total loss of the invested funds is high.

Conclusion

As you can see, Toncoin investment options are quite extensive. Please view the terms carefully to choose the best option.
