Layer 1 blockchain Stable meluncurkan mainnet dan memulai airdrop, menyiapkan $100 juta untuk jalur tokenisasi RWA

Stable, Layer 1 public chain dedicated to building a stablecoin-native settlement layer, officially announced the launch of its mainnet, StableChain, on December 8. The release also unveiled the independent organization Stable Foundation, aimed at driving ecosystem development, and its native utility token, STABLE. Even more notably, Stable recently announced with its partners a joint investment of over $100 million in the tokenized US Treasury strategy ULTRA, highlighting its grand vision to bridge traditional finance and the crypto world. This series of moves marks the payment-specific blockchain powered by USDT entering the real-world stage, potentially reshaping the global landscape for payments and asset tokenization.

Stable Mainnet Set Sail, Building a Payment-Centric Dedicated Chain

On December 8, the crypto industry welcomed a new player focused on the stablecoin payment track. The Stable project officially announced the launch of its mainnet StableChain, which is not just the birth of a new blockchain, but a complete practice of the concept of “efficient settlement with stablecoins as native assets.” Unlike many general-purpose public chains, StableChain has been focused since its inception on payment, remittance, and cross-border transaction scenarios, with its greatest feature being the direct use of USDT as the network’s native Gas token.

This design may seem simple, but it addresses user experience pain points head-on. It completely eliminates the cumbersome process of users needing to hold volatile assets (such as Ethereum) to pay fees when transferring stablecoins. For ordinary users and merchants, this means a greatly simplified payment experience and improved cost predictability—a key step toward large-scale adoption of stablecoins in daily payments. Previously, the network had been preliminarily validated by the market through a deposit campaign, attracting more than 24,000 wallets with a total deposit of over $2 billion in two phases, demonstrating strong market demand for a dedicated stablecoin payment chain.

At the same time, to ensure the network’s long-term, decentralized development and governance, the Stable Foundation was also announced. This foundation will act as the ecosystem’s “helmsman,” supporting developers and the community and strengthening infrastructure through grants, organizing governance voting, and providing educational resources. This lays a solid organizational foundation for the sustainable development of StableChain, enabling it to grow in a more transparent and community-driven way.

STABLE Tokenomics Unveiled, Airdrop Launched for Early Contributors

With the mainnet launch, the core of Stable’s ecosystem governance and incentives—the STABLE token—has also officially debuted. According to the tokenomics announced on December 3, the total supply of STABLE is fixed at 100 billion and will not be used as network Gas, making its function purely for network governance and security maintenance. STABLE holders will be able to participate in protocol governance voting and contribute to network security.

Core token allocation data are as follows:

• Ecosystem & Community: 40% allocated to developer grants, liquidity incentives, partner programs, and community development.
• Team & Contributors: 25% allocated to founding team, engineers, and researchers.
• Investors & Advisors: 25% allocated to strategic partners supporting network development.
• Initial Activity Allocation: 10% used for liquidity bootstrapping and community activation at mainnet launch.

Notably, the project team simultaneously launched the STABLE token airdrop claim on December 8. This airdrop aims to reward users who participated in early staking deposit phases and ecosystem building. Qualified participants mainly include two groups: first, holders of vault certificates from the two deposit phases; second, users who further deployed these certificates into DeFi protocol integrated vaults such as Morpho, Pendle, and Uniswap. The claim window will remain open until March 2, 2026, giving participants ample time to verify and operate. Market analysts believe that such airdrops targeting real funds and active ecosystem participants can more effectively distribute tokens to users who truly support the network, helping to build a healthy initial community.

Investing Over $100 Million in RWA, Anchoring Real-World Assets to Expand Ecosystem Boundaries

If the mainnet launch builds the “payment highway,” then Stable’s asset-side layout aims to bring ample “goods flow” to it. Just days before the mainnet launch, Stable and the full-stack platform Theo jointly announced an investment of over $100 million in the tokenized US Treasury strategy named ULTRA. ULTRA, rated AAA by Particula, has attracted attention as one of the few tokenized Treasury products with the top rating on the market.

This move is of far-reaching strategic significance. First, it deeply binds the StableChain ecosystem to the trillion-dollar track of real-world assets (RWA). Institutional users will be able to access ULTRA’s institution-grade short-term US Treasuries conveniently within the Stable ecosystem via Theo’s thBILL product. This brings potential massive institutional funds and high-end financial use cases to StableChain. Second, it demonstrates the Stable team’s forward-looking judgment on industry trends: the future of on-chain finance is not just a self-contained crypto loop, but a new era of quality traditional assets on-chain and seamless interaction between the two. Through investment in and integration of top RWA assets, Stable has found a highly differentiated and attractive breakthrough in the increasingly competitive public chain arena.

Stablecoin Payment Track Heats Up—How Will Stable Break Through?

The launch of StableChain comes at a time when both stablecoin payment applications and RWA narratives are booming. From PayPal’s launch of PYUSD to major financial institutions exploring blockchain settlements, traditional payment giants and crypto-native projects are vying for the high ground of next-generation payment infrastructure. Against this backdrop, Stable’s differentiated path is clear: not to be a “world computer” that does everything, but to be a “payment settlement expert” deeply focused on verticals.

Its design of using USDT as native Gas lowers the usage threshold for users; cooperation with compliant custodians and payment providers such as Anchorage Digital paves the way for institutional entry; and a heavy bet on RWA injects solid assets linked to traditional financial returns into the ecosystem. Together, these measures form a complete closed loop from underlying settlement to asset-side value. Of course, as a later entrant, Stable still faces challenges such as network effects, developer community building, and integration with existing DeFi ecosystems. Its success will depend on whether it can truly attract enough real payment transactions and quality assets to settle on its chain.

The launch of Stable mainnet and the release of the STABLE token are not just a simple repeat of another public chain story. They represent a more pragmatic and focused industry development direction: deeply optimizing specific scenarios (such as payments) and actively embracing external traditional assets (such as RWA) to build a blockchain network with real utility and appeal. Against the backdrop of the crypto market shifting from speculation to utility, every step Stable takes is on a key trend node. Whether it can become a bridge connecting billions of dollars of stablecoin liquidity and trillion-dollar traditional financial assets is worth watching for all industry observers. This revolution in payment efficiency and asset tokenization may just be beginning.
