Stakee Review 2026: TON Liquid Staking in Telegram

Stakee is a liquid staking service for Toncoin (TON), listed on DefiLlama since December 2023. It reports about $25.4M in total value locked, and its homepage cites around 14,000 stakers. DefiLlama's description reads: Earn TON with best APY at most profitable staking service.

The main way to use it is the Stakee Telegram bot, with a web app as an alternative. The homepage promises up to 25% APY with daily compounding, instant withdrawals and a 1 TON minimum. It says the staking contract was created by TON Core and audited by CertiK.

The yield numbers are the thing to check. The homepage headline says up to 25%, its calculator example uses 21%, and one Telegram mini-app directory mentions up to 5%. Treat the live in-app rate as the number that matters.

Liquid staking lets you deposit a coin into a staking pool, which puts it to work securing the network, and in return you receive a receipt token that represents your share. The pool's rewards raise the value of that share over time. When you unstake, you redeem the receipt for the original TON plus accrued rewards.

Stakee says it runs on a staking contract created by TON Core. Per public reporting, it issues a receipt token called STAKED and sits in the same contract family as another pool, KTON. The differences between such pools are fees, how each pool is run, and who operates it.

You interact with it through a Telegram bot or a web app connected to a TON wallet. The site says rewards accrue daily with automatic compounding, and that withdrawals come back to your wallet within minutes.

Stakee does not publish a fee schedule on its homepage. The advertised APY is described as variable with network conditions, and the share of rewards that goes to the pool operator is not stated publicly.

Public reporting mentions a comparison of fees against another TON liquid staking pool (KTON), but the numbers are not public reviewed here. You would also pay normal TON network gas fees for deposits and withdrawals. Check the live APY and any commission shown in the Telegram bot or web app before staking.

Stakee says it uses a staking contract created by TON Core and audited by CertiK, and that user funds are handled by the smart contract rather than held by third parties. These are the project's own claims. DefiLlama lists no audits for the project, and the audit report itself is not public reviewed.

The usual liquid staking risks apply: smart-contract bugs, validator or pool operator issues, and the receipt token trading or redeeming differently than expected. No hacks or incidents appear. Because Stakee is used through Telegram, make sure you open it only from its official site, as lookalike bots and links are a common scam pattern.

Stakee is for TON holders who prefer a simple Telegram-based way to stake, including small holders starting from 1 TON. It also targets larger clients through custom terms. It is less suited to anyone who needs fully verified fees and audit documents before committing funds.
