Stable — A New Era of Stablecoin Payments: The Native USDT Layer-1 Chain

Background: Why do we need a stablecoin dedicated chain?

Traditional blockchains (such as Ethereum) use volatile cryptocurrencies as transaction fees and gas, resulting in transaction costs and confirmation times that can fluctuate significantly due to network congestion or price volatility. Stablecoins, especially USDT, with their stable pegged value, have become a safe haven for many users during market turbulence and are widely used for trading and transfers. If there were a chain specifically designed for stablecoin payments, it could maximize the advantages of stablecoins.

The design concept and positioning of Stable

The emergence of Stable is precisely to fill this gap: it is a Layer 1 public chain native to USDT, which not only treats stablecoins as assets but also as “Gas / settlement currency” — all transactions and fees on the chain will be settled in USDT.

Stable is not a general-purpose public chain, but focuses on stablecoin payments and settlements, aiming to become part of the global payment and settlement infrastructure.

Technical features: EVM compatible, USDT Gas, sub-second settlement

Stable is EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible, developer-friendly, and makes it easier to port existing DeFi / dApps. Its transaction design supports sub-second finality with very low fees, making it ideal for high-frequency, small-value trading and payment scenarios.

Latest market performance and Gate launch situation

The trading pair STABLE/USDT for Stable has been listed on Gate, allowing users to conduct spot trading. However, the current price and trading volume are highly volatile, reflecting that the market is still exploring its value — this may pose higher risks for short-term traders, but also potential opportunities. Meanwhile, according to the official announcement, the Stable mainnet is planned to launch soon, which will be a key step for Stable from “concept” to “practical application.”

The potential impact of stablecoins on payments, cross-border settlements, and DeFi.

If Stable can successfully build a payment infrastructure based on USDT, it will have a profound impact on the entire crypto market and traditional finance.

• Cross-border payments and e-commerce settlements: stablecoin + blockchain network = high speed, low cost, global coverage. Especially suitable for multinational transactions, international remittances, and trade payments.
• DeFi and Lending / Liquidation Infrastructure: In scenarios with high demand and frequent transactions of stablecoins, Stable can reduce trading friction and improve efficiency.
• Modernization of Financial Infrastructure: Traditional banking/SWIFT systems may face challenges, and if stablecoins are widely used, they have the potential to change the landscape of international payments.

Investment and Usage Suggestions / Risk Warning

For ordinary users, it is important to pay close attention to the launch of the Stable mainnet and the ecological construction situation. If it is just for speculative short-term fluctuations, there may be high risks.
