In the $TON ecosystem, without any news, liquidity pools, namely APR in pools, immediately show which token is currently in demand. When an asset starts to attract attention, exchanges grow, which leads to an increase in volumes, and the pool almost immediately responds with an increase in APR. If interest wanes, the indicator begins to fade back to its usual levels.

This is especially noticeable on STONfi, as more than half of all exchanges within the network are conducted through the exchange. Sometimes, it is enough to open the pools tab to see which pairs are suddenly coming to life. Often, the APR indicates such things much earlier than charts or news.

That is why many people use the APR as a quick reference point. And yes, of course, it is not a 100% reliable way to find out, but sometimes it is more than enough to react in time, because unlike writing and reading the news, it takes much less time.
