Stable Updates Whitepaper: 82% of STABLE Tokens Locked Until Release at End of 2029

Odaily Planet Daily News 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 uses USDT as the native gas asset and primary settlement asset, allowing users to complete transactions without holding additional volatile tokens. Meanwhile, the network supports PayPal-issued PYUSD as a tier-1 settlement asset.

In terms of tokenomics, STABLE has a total supply of 100 billion tokens. Of this, approximately 18 billion (18%) entered circulation at token generation, including 10% from the Genesis Distribution and 8% from the foundation's first-day unlock. The remaining 82 billion (82%) have been placed into a unified lock-up pool (Universal Lock).

According to the whitepaper, the 82 billion locked tokens will adopt a unified release mechanism, unlocking gradually across 7 phases:

Phase 1: Release of 5% (4.1 billion) on December 8, 2027

Phase 2: Release of 5% (4.1 billion) on March 8, 2028

Phase 3: Release of 10% (8.2 billion) on June 8, 2028

Phase 4: Release of 15% (12.3 billion) on September 8, 2028

Phase 5: Release of 15% (12.3 billion) on December 8, 2028

Phase 6: Release of 20% (16.4 billion) on March 8, 2029

Phase 7: Release of 30% (24.6 billion) on June 8, 2029

All locked tokens will be unlocked through a daily linear release mechanism, with the full circulation expected no later than December 8, 2029. In addition, the whitepaper includes a price protection mechanism: if the volume-weighted average price of the token in the 30 days prior to a designated release date falls below $0.025, the relevant unlock phase may be delayed by up to 9 months.
