Stable Unveils USDT-Native Blockchain, Token, and Major Partnerships

Stable launches its USDT-native Layer 1 blockchain, StableChain, with the STABLE governance token, USDT gas fees, cross-chain integrations, and major institutional partnerships, aiming to transform digital payments and DeFi.

Stable has launched its mainnet and native STABLE token, introducing a USDT-native Layer 1 blockchain called StableChain. The network uses Tether’s USDT as the gas token for all transactions, eliminating the need for volatile assets in fee payments. The launch also saw the creation of the Stable Foundation, an independent organization to support network growth, governance, and community initiatives. StableChain integrates Chainlink’s CCIP for cross-chain liquidity and LayerZero for multi-chain expansion, supporting assets like USDC and WETH across over 150 networks. The STABLE token serves as the governance and security token, enabling holders to participate in protocol decisions and delegate to validators. The network operates on a delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, with staking rewards paid in USDT-denominated fees and no inflationary emissions. The mainnet launch followed a pre-deposit campaign that attracted over $2 billion from more than 24,000 wallets. Stable has formed partnerships with institutions such as PayPal, Anchorage, and Standard Chartered to integrate payments and DeFi solutions, aiming to drive institutional and retail adoption of stablecoin assets and enable a fully on-chain economy.
