# How to use this guide

This guide is a mini-encyclopedia of STON.fi with one simple job: help you act confidently.

Look left: the sidebar is your map. It’s grouped by what you’ll actually do on [STON.fi](http://ston.fi):

• **Start here** — onboarding essentials: what blockchain/DEX/wallets are, how to create a TON wallet, find your address, buy TON in Telegram.\
• **Swapping on** [**STON.fi**](http://ston.fi): how to connect a wallet, make your first swap, understand rate/price impact/min received, see how fees work, add custom tokens, and learn how referral fees from swaps are accrued.\
• **Providing Liquidity**: what a liquidity pool is, how impermanent loss works, add/withdraw liquidity, pool types, create a new pool, evaluate pools (TVL/APR/volume), and a dedicated flow for hardware wallets like Ledger.\
• **Farming**: what farming is, how to start/stop farming, how rewards and lockups behave.\
• **Staking**: how staking on STON.fi works and what it unlocks.

At the top-right, the search bar finds pages and terms instantly. Try “price impact,” “LP tokens,” “impermanent loss”, or any other keyword.&#x20;

Each guide is step-by-step with screenshots; the footer links you onward to the next logical task.&#x20;
