Tether (via Bitfinex) launches Stable, a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to USDT, offering free transactions between individuals and fees paid directly in USDT, without the need for a native token.
USDT becomes native: a turning point for daily use
The market wasn’t expecting it so soon, but here it is. Stable, a Layer 1 blockchain fully optimized for USDT, emerges with a clear objective: to make stablecoins as easy to use as a bank transfer. And all this, without fees.
This world first allows transaction fees to be paid directly in USDT, Tether’s stablecoin. No more hassle of needing a native token (ETH, SOL…) just to pay ‘gas.’ What’s more, peer-to-peer transfers between individuals are completely free. A compelling argument for users in emerging countries, where every cent counts.
With over $150 billion in stablecoins in circulation and $100 billion in USDT transactions every day, Stable aims to provide a proper infrastructure for this Web3 cornerstone.
Existing blockchains were never designed for stablecoins. We built Stable to change that.
Extreme performances, smooth experience
Stable hasn’t just made a nice promise. The network boasts ultra-low latency, near-instant transactions, and fees lower than a cent, even during peak activity.
Designed for mass adoption, the project includes:
- Complete EVM compatibility for developers
- An accessible wallet with social logins, credit card, and readable aliases
- Enterprise scalability with blockspace allocation and batching
- And native interoperability with LayerZero to move USDT across chains
Stable clearly aims to become the backbone of stablecoin payments.
An ecosystem tailored for the three pillars of Web3
Users, businesses, and developers: everyone benefits.
- For users, it’s the promised land of feeless payments: international transfers, service payments, USDT cards… you name it.
- For businesses, it’s a concrete response to bank fees and the opacity of international transfers.
- For builders, it’s a complete toolbox to create payment platforms, credit systems, or 100% dollar DeFi.
Ambitious roadmap: from stability to speed
Stable doesn’t hide its ambitions. The roadmap includes:
- Finalized blocks in less than a second thanks to StableBFT
- Optimistic and parallel execution to surpass current throughput limits
- In the long run, a transition to a DAG consensus, even faster and more resilient
In summary, Stable aims to go faster, farther, for less.
Stable wants to change the rules of the game
While most generalist blockchains struggle to handle the massive use of stablecoins, Stable arrives with a strong promise: to place the digital dollar at the center of the network, not on its periphery.
Tether is already applauding this initiative that could shift crypto usage into daily life. The era of stablecoins is just beginning. And Stable intends to be the foundation of it.
