At launch, 8% of the ecosystem allocation unlocks, and the remaining 32% vests over three years. Stable says this approach is designed to drive early momentum while maintaining long-term network stability.<\/p>\n<p>STABLE will function as the network\u2019s governance token. Holders vote on protocol upgrades, elect validators, and can receive a share of validator revenue. The chain uses USDT0 as its gas asset, so validators collect fees in USDT-based units rather than the native token. This model is meant to support predictable costs for payments and settlement.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mainnet follows $1.1B in pre-deposits\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The mainnet launch follows a two-phase pre-deposit program that attracted more than $1.1 billion from over 10,000 wallets. Phase one filled its $825 million cap in 22 minutes, although several wallets made large deposits, which raised questions about concentration. Phase two added KYC controls and per-wallet limits to increase participation and closed on Nov. 15.<\/p>\n<p>Stable enters the market during a surge in demand for purpose-built stablecoin networks. Its close ties to Tether (USDT) position it to play a role in larger plans around on-chain finance. Tether\u2019s November partnership with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities aims to advance a tokenized securities market that could reach the trillion-dollar scale over time, giving Stable a potential pipeline for institutional flows.<\/p>\n<p>The project also gained backing from PayPal Ventures, which joined a $28M seed round to expand PYUSD support on Stable. The chain now sits alongside other payment-oriented L1s such as Arc and Plasma, both of which launched this year with stablecoin settlement as their core focus.<\/p>\n<p>With its token design now public and a large pool of pre-deposited liquidity ready for deployment, Stable heads into its Dec. 8 launch positioned to compete for a growing share of stablecoin and enterprise payment activity.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stable has released its STABLE tokenomics design ahead of its mainnet launch, setting out how supply, vesting, and governance will work across the network.
