Why are impermanent losses unusual for new liquidity providers?

In many liquidity pools, impermanent losses occur frequently. They can discourage users from supplying tokens to those pools and push them towards another blockchain.

On the $TON blockchain, a unique technology has been developed whereby the team behind the largest DEX protects users from impermanent losses.
Since 2025, STONfi has had a protection system in place against impermanent losses. While this system is active in a liquidity pool, users can receive compensation for any impermanent losses incurred while providing liquidity.

On STONfi , this system has not yet seen widespread adoption, but it is expected to be implemented in a greater number of pools in the future:

$STON / $USDT – 28%

The STONfi team compensates impermanent losses of up to 5.72% per person if they occur while providing liquidity.
Compensation is paid in $STON tokens, up to a value of $100 per person.

Other DEX do not offer such a system, and many liquidity providers suffer from impermanent losses. In inactive liquidity pools, impermanent losses can occur frequently, which is why it is advisable to choose active liquidity pools
