Stable

STABLE CMC #85 in the snapshot

A live EVM-compatible network built around stablecoin payments, with USDT0 used for both transfers and gas while STABLE serves a separate staking and governance role.

01 / THE PURPOSE

What is Stable for?

Stable focuses on payment and settlement workflows that should not require users to maintain a second, volatile gas-coin balance. Official documentation provides production mainnet endpoints and distinguishes its payment asset from its governance token.

02 / THE ARCHITECTURE

Three questions about the machinery.

How does it agree?

Consensus & security

The network uses delegated proof of stake. Its documented StableBFT design builds on CometBFT, coordinating validator agreement and deterministic finality under the protocol’s Byzantine-fault assumptions.

Where do instructions run?

Execution model

EVM contracts and standard Ethereum development tools operate on the chain. Native SDK modules handle functions such as staking, while precompiled interfaces make those functions available to Solidity applications.

What is the token for?

STABLE in the system

USDT0 pays gas. STABLE supports validator delegation and governance, with validator-distributed gas revenue described in the token model. Despite its name, STABLE itself is not the dollar-pegged payment asset.

03 / THE DESIGN CHOICES

What comes with the design?

Each architecture makes choices about security, performance, coordination, and who can participate.

The payment asset brings issuer, reserve, and cross-chain delivery dependencies in addition to the chain’s own validator risk.
A dollar-denominated fee is not a promise that the payment token can always be redeemed or transferred without restrictions.
Application builders must account for USDT0’s combined native-asset and ERC-20 behavior when adapting Ethereum assumptions.

04 / IN PRACTICE

Follow one use.

A business sends a USDT0 supplier payment and pays the network fee from the same asset balance. The recipient receives an on-chain stablecoin balance, whose redemption conditions remain separate from transaction finality.
