Emission model & supply schedule
- Total supply is fixed at 100,000,000,000 STABLE tokens.
- Only a portion of supply enters circulation at launch of the Stable Mainnet.
- Team and Investors & advisors allocations follow a 4-year linear vesting model, with a 1-year cliff, to ensure long-term commitment.

Emissions chart
Economic design principles
Stable’s token economics were designed around three foundational goals:
1. Power a payments-optimized Layer 1
The STABLE token incentivizes high-throughput, low-latency infrastructure, supporting sub-second block confirmations and enterprise settlement guarantees.
2. Support sustainable ecosystem growth
40% of total token supply is dedicated to long-term growth, focusing on key development and growth areas.
- Developer grants
- Partner integrations
- New ecosystem applications
3. Align long-term contributors via vesting
The team allocation uses a 4-year linear vesting model, with a 1-year cliff, ensuring long-term alignment and continued contributions toward network development.
Utility of the STABLE token
The STABLE Token is an ERC-20 governance token on the Stable Mainnet. It can be used for:
- Electing validators
- Voting on protocol upgrades
- Handling governance proposals
- Serving as a credential to receive gas fee distribution from validators
On the Stable Network, all transactions use USDT0 as the native gas token. These USDT0 gas fees are collected into a treasury managed by smart contracts. When token holders stake their STABLE tokens to validators, validators may choose to distribute gas fees from the treasury proportionally to stakers. Last modified on April 7, 2026
