Recently, I noticed that the L1 chain Stable, backed by Tether, has finally revealed how its native token, STABLE, will work.

First, the total supply—100 billion tokens, strictly capped with no further issuance. Interestingly, this token won’t be used for gas fees, meaning you don’t need to burn it as a transaction fee when using the chain.

The distribution plan is fairly standard: 10% for early-stage launch, mainly allocated to liquidity pools, community bootstrapping, and some strategic partnerships; the bulk—40%—is designated for ecosystem development, including developer grants, market maker incentives, and partner onboarding. Basically, all necessary areas are covered.

As for the team’s allocation, the announcement didn’t specify the exact percentage—either the details are still being finalized, or they intentionally released partial information to gauge community reaction. But given Tether’s backing, it’s unlikely the next steps will be small-scale.
