Stable processes transactions within an EVM-based execution environment. When a block includes a transaction, the chain applies its effects to state and makes them immediately visible to applications, contracts, and indexers.Documentation Index

Execution confirmation
A transaction is considered confirmed once:- It is successfully included in a produced block
- State changes (balances, storage, events) can be observed through RPC
- Treat confirmed state as valid for application logic
- Use monitoring systems to track block continuity
Settlement considerations
Stable provides single-slot finality, meaning transactions are finalized as soon as they are included in a valid block. For developers, this ensures:- Once a transaction appears in a confirmed block, its state changes are final and irreversible.
- Applications can safely rely on block inclusion as confirmation of settlement.
- Verify transaction success via RPC or emitted events before proceeding with dependent actions (e.g., unlocks, redemptions).
- Implement retry and reconciliation logic for automation and batch operations to handle transient submission or RPC errors.
Compatibility commitments
Stable intends to maintain a consistent execution surface for developers throughout testnet growth phases. Current commitments:- Stable will maintain published system module interfaces and execution behavior unless explicitly noted
- Any potentially disruptive changes will be:
- Announced in advance
- Documented in the Release & Change Log
- Accompanied by migration instructions when necessary
- A formal compatibility policy
- Change-level classification for developer-facing features
- Clear handling guidance for version transitions
