Stable supported by Tether announces the STABLE token economic model, with the mainnet about to enter the deployment phase.

Stable, a Layer 1 blockchain project backed by Tether, has announced the full tokenomics model for its native token, STABLE, with the countdown to mainnet deployment underway. The network is positioned as a high-throughput stablecoin trading infrastructure, aiming to build a large-scale payment and settlement environment for stablecoins such as USDT.

According to official information, the total supply of STABLE is fixed at 100 billion tokens, which will be used for governance, network security, and ecosystem incentives rather than for everyday payments. Stable emphasizes that users do not need to hold STABLE to transact on the chain; all settlements will still be completed with USDT. STABLE mainly serves as a governance and staking asset, used to maintain network security, coordinate upgrades, and drive long-term ecosystem development.

Stable adopts a new StableBFT delegated proof-of-stake mechanism. Token holders can delegate their stake to validators to provide economic security and participate in network governance, including voting on key matters such as protocol upgrades and ecosystem fund allocation.

In terms of token distribution, 10% will be used for genesis distribution to enhance liquidity and community engagement; 40% will go to developer grants and partner ecosystem; 25% will be allocated to the team and early investors, with a one-year lock-up and four-year linear vesting period. Currently, the project has no token inflation plans, and staking rewards will be tied to network fees denominated in USDT.

During the mainnet preparation phase, Stable is advancing validator node onboarding and developer tool integration, with plans for a phased launch, initially activating governance functions. Although the official mainnet date has not yet been announced, the deployment process is gradually unfolding.

In addition, since October, Stable has conducted two rounds of stablecoin pre-deposit campaigns, intended for future token rewards and ecosystem incentive distribution. The first phase drew community criticism due to suspected whale front-running and internal information leaks. The second phase adjusted the rules, limiting the amount per wallet and specifying wallet types to increase retail participation. As of mid-November, the second phase had attracted over 10,000 participating wallets, with cumulative deposits exceeding $1.1 billion.

With the public release of the STABLE token model and the acceleration of mainnet deployment, Stable continues to gain momentum in the stablecoin infrastructure sector, with the market closely watching to see if it can become the new core network for USDT on-chain settlement.
