In a bold move set to redefine competition in the crypto exchange industry, MEXC has launched a landmark partnership with The Open Network (TON), introducing the “TON Triumph” campaign—a $1 million rewards initiative that eliminates all trading fees on TON pairs and offers an unprecedented 400% APR on staking for new users.

Running from May 21 through June 20, the campaign dismantles conventional exchange revenue models by completely waiving fees on major TON pairs including TON/USDT, TON/USDC, and TON/EUR. It also includes free TONUSDT futures trading and zero fees for TON withdrawals. In parallel, MEXC is offering newcomers a chance to stake up to 250 TON tokens with returns reaching 400% APR—an industry record designed to fuel rapid user acquisition.

“This isn’t just another marketing campaign,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC. “It’s a strategic pivot that reshapes how exchanges approach emerging Layer-1 ecosystems and retail trader access.”

The campaign introduces several disruptive mechanisms:

The implications are twofold. For TON, whose network is closely tied to Telegram’s massive user base and growing developer activity, the campaign could significantly expand user adoption and liquidity. For MEXC, it’s a showcase of technological capability and a direct challenge to incumbent exchanges still reliant on fee-based models.

by leveling the economic playing field—offering retail users institutional-grade benefits—MEXC is accelerating a broader trend toward equitable market access in the crypto sector.

Time is of the essence: high-APR staking pools are limited and the campaign’s duration is just 30 days. MEXC has streamlined the registration and KYC process, ensuring fast onboarding for global participants via web and mobile platforms.

The partnership marks a turning point for both players. TON gains deeper market penetration, while MEXC positions itself at the frontier of innovation in exchange economics.

  • Zero-Fee Access:Eliminates trading and withdrawal fees across TON markets, democratizing entry for all users regardless of portfolio size.
  • 400% APR Staking:High-yield staking opportunities with capped allocations, available on a first-come basis.
  • Incentives Across Trading Modes:Spot trading rewards totaling 32,500 TON, daily 8% APR on USDE holdings, and a futures trading contest with $100,000 in bonuses.
