Stable is entering its next phase. Today we are publishing the STABLE Tokenomics, the economic design that secures governance, aligns incentives, and enables long-term sustainability while users continue to transact exclusively in USDT.
Stable is a settlement layer where stablecoins move with the reliability of payment networks and the programmability of blockchains. Every transfer, payout, and transaction settles in USDT with predictable costs and instant finality. The Stable Network is engineered for high-volume monetary transactions, which removes the operational uncertainties that limit stablecoin adoption today.
A dedicated economic layer is required to maintain this level of performance and reliability. This is the purpose of the STABLE token. It governs protocol evolution, and funds long-term ecosystem development while keeping all user activity denominated entirely in USDT. The separation between user-facing settlement and backend coordination allows Stable to deliver predictable economics without introducing additional complexity for individuals or enterprises.
How the protocol addresses gaps in existing settlement infrastructure
How USDT functions as the native asset for fees and settlement
How the STABLE token aligns incentives across developers, and ecosystem participants
How governance and economic coordination support long-term reliability

A single-token experience for users is critical for adoption. People and enterprises should not manage volatile assets to send USDT. At the same time, a high-performance settlement network still requires an economic layer to coordinate how the system functions at scale.
STABLE token exists to support three network functions:
Secure the consensus mechanism through meaningful economic stake
Coordinate governance and protocol upgrades
Support ecosystem incentives and long-term sustainability
The STABLE token is not part of routine transactions. Its purpose is to secure the network and coordinate its evolution while USDT remains the only asset users interact with during normal activity.
The STABLE token provides the economic foundation of the network while keeping all transactional activity in USDT. Its function is not to serve as a payment asset, but to support the coordination, security, and governance mechanisms that allow Stable to operate as a reliable settlement layer. The STABLE token is the coordination instrument for the network. It enables three core functions:
Stable uses Delegated Proof of Stake through StableBFT. Validators must stake STABLE tokens to participate in consensus, and token holders may delegate their stake to selected validators. This model creates a meaningful economic commitment from operators, which improves network integrity and reduces the risk of harmful behavior. Slashing penalties apply to misconduct and extended downtime, ensuring that validator incentives remain aligned with the health of the system.
STABLE token holders participate in protocol governance. Governance encompasses approval of upgrades, changes to network parameters, allocation of community and ecosystem reserves, and other decisions that shape the strategic direction of the network. This structure allows the network to evolve while maintaining transparency and accountability.
All fees on Stable are paid in USDT. These fees accumulate in a protocol-controlled vault. Validators may choose to distribute a portion of these USDT fees to their delegators, proportionate to their stake. This creates a clear economic link between network activity and STABLE token participation. Token holders who stake or delegate are able to earn rewards in a widely used, stable asset, while the requirement to stake STABLE tokens maintains a strong security base for the network.
The tokenomics framework is structured to create predictable supply dynamics and clear incentives for participants.
The total supply of STABLE tokens is fixed at 100,000,000,000 tokens. This fixed supply model avoids inflationary issuance and provides clarity for long-term economic planning.
100,000,000,000 STABLE
Fixed supply
Not used for gas
The STABLE token is a governance and security asset.
Users do not need STABLE tokens to send transactions or interact with applications.
All network fees are denominated and paid in stablecoins only.
The STABLE token underpins staking, governance, and protocol-level alignment.
This approach maintains simple user experience while enabling robust economic coordination among validators, stakers, and governance participants.
The supply of STABLE tokens is allocated across four categories that support both early development and long-term ecosystem needs:
Genesis Distribution
10% of total token allocation
10,000,000,000 STABLE tokens
Supports initial liquidity, community activation, ecosystem campaigns, and strategic distribution efforts at launch.
Ecosystem and Community
40% of total token allocation
40,000,000,000 STABLE tokens
Allocated to developer grants, liquidity programs, integrations, partnerships, community initiatives, and ecosystem growth.
Team
25% of total token allocation
25,000,000,000 STABLE tokens
Reserved for the founding team, engineers, researchers, and contributors.
Designed to support long-term commitment to the network.
Investors & Advisors
25% of total token allocation
25,000,000,000 STABLE tokens
Allocated to strategic investors and advisors who support the network’s development, infrastructure, and adoption.
Team and Investor & Advisor token allocations follow a structured vesting plan to ensure alignment:
One year cliff
Linear vesting.
48 months total vesting period
This schedule reduces short-term supply pressure and ensures that contributors remain aligned with the long-term success of the network.
STABLE token has a fixed supply. There is no ongoing inflation. This ensures that rewards have practical utility and maintains demand for STABLE as the asset needed to access fee distribution rights.
Stable uses a Delegated POS (Proof of Stake) model through its StableBFT consensus protocol. This design supports high-throughput settlement while maintaining the economic security properties required for a global payment network. Staking STABLE tokens is the mechanism through which validators and delegators participate in consensus and earn rewards.
Validator Staking. Validators stake STABLE tokens to join consensus. The size of the stake determines participation in block production and creates accountability for reliable performance.
Delegated Staking. Token holders can delegate their STABLE tokens to validators without operating infrastructure.
Reward Distribution. All network fees are paid in USDT. These fees accumulate in a protocol-managed vault and may be distributed by validators to their stakers. This design aligns staking incentives with actual network usage.
Slashing. Validators that double-sign or remain offline for extended periods may be penalized. Slashing reinforces reliability and strengthens overall network security.
Demand for STABLE grows with protocol usage because:
USDT activity increases the size of the fee vault.
Access to gas fee distribution from validators requires staking or delegation with STABLE tokens.
Governance and validator selection require STABLE tokens.
This creates a direct connection between network growth and STABLE token utility without creating speculative complexity for users.
With the release of the Stable whitepaper and the introduction of STABLE tokenomics, the next phase focuses on preparing the network for mainnet.
Validator Readiness. Validator onboarding will begin with documentation and guidelines based on the StableBFT consensus model described in the whitepaper.
Ecosystem Preparation. Ecosystem and community allocations will support early integrations, developer tooling, and initial applications that demonstrate USDT-native settlement.
Governance Activation. STABLE token holders will gradually gain access to governance, consistent with the framework outlined in the whitepaper.
Mainnet Launch. Mainnet deployment will follow the architecture and performance targets specified in the whitepaper. Network documentation and contract addresses will be shared at launch.
Stable brings stablecoins into the next generation of settlement infrastructure. Users transact entirely in USDT. The STABLE token supports the network under the hood by securing consensus, coordinating governance, and aligning incentives for long-term growth.
This tokenomics release is a key milestone as we move toward mainnet. The STABLE token ensures that the economic model behind the network remains transparent, predictable, and aligned with long-term ecosystem development. As Stable moves toward mainnet, the token’s role in staking, governance, and incentive alignment will support the network’s reliability at scale.
