Protocol-level features
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Single-slot finality | A transaction is final once it’s in a block. No multi-block confirmation wait. |
| Full EVM compatibility | Solidity, Vyper, Foundry, Hardhat, ethers, viem, and eth_* RPC methods work unchanged. |
| USDT0 as gas | One asset serves as both native balance and ERC-20. No separate gas token to hold. |
| Cross-chain bridging | USDT0 moves onto Stable from Ethereum, Arbitrum, HyperEVM, Tron, and other chains via LayerZero OFT. |
