Odaily Planet Daily reports that Stable has released an updated whitepaper, whose core design philosophy revolves around rebuilding blockchain infrastructure around stablecoins. Unlike traditional public chains that treat stablecoins as application-layer assets, Stable treats USDT as the native gas asset and primary settlement asset, enabling users to complete transactions without holding additional volatile tokens. The network also supports PayPal’s PYUSD as a primary settlement asset.
In terms of tokenomics, the total supply of STABLE is 100 billion tokens. Approximately 18 billion tokens (18%) were released into circulation at token generation, comprising 10% from the Genesis Distribution and 8% from the foundation’s day-one unlock; the remaining 82 billion tokens (82%) were deposited into the Universal Lock pool.
The whitepaper shows that 8.2 billion locked tokens will be released through a uniform unlocking mechanism across seven phases:
Phase 1: 5% (4.1 billion tokens) released on December 8, 2027
Stage Two: 5% (4.1 billion tokens) released on March 8, 2028
Stage 3: Release of 10% (8.2 billion tokens) on June 8, 2028
Phase 4: Release of 15% (12.3 billion tokens) on September 8, 2028
Phase 5: Release of 15% (12.3 billion tokens) on December 8, 2028
Stage 6: Release of 20% (16.4 billion tokens) on March 8, 2029
Stage 7: Release of 30% (24.6 billion) on June 8, 2029
All locked tokens will be unlocked via a daily linear vesting schedule, with all tokens expected to be fully in circulation by December 8, 2029. Additionally, the whitepaper includes a price protection mechanism: if the 30-day volume-weighted average price of the token falls below $0.025 prior to a scheduled release date, the corresponding unlocking phase may be extended by up to nine months.
