Bitfinex's Stable Debuts Phase 1 with USDT Gas Focus

- Bitfinex-backed Stable blockchain unveils Phase 1 roadmap with key features. - USDT-powered network promises faster, fee-free transactions for stablecoins. 2025-07-01 On July 1, 2025, *The Block* reported the launch of Stable's Phase 1 roadmap. Stable, a Bitfinex-backed blockchain, uses Tether's USDT as its gas token. The project promises to reshape stablecoin transactions by providing faster confirmation times, lower costs, and institutional-grade features. The Stable blockchain project aims to revolutionize stablecoin transactions by addressing common inefficiencies in existing blockchain infrastructures, including high fees, slow settlement speeds, and user complexity. After emerging from stealth mode in June 2025, the project now introduces several technological innovations to improve blockchain functionality. Stable is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to deploy existing decentralized applications (dApps) without modifications. The network provides nearly instantaneous transaction confirmations with its sub-second block finality. In addition, users benefit from gas-free transfers through USDT0, a LayerZero-based decentralized token pegged to Tether’s USDT. These innovations streamline stablecoin operations and eliminate transaction cost volatility, a common problem on other blockchains that use native tokens for fees. Stable enhances usability for institutional clients with several key features. It provides guaranteed blockspace allocation for high-priority transactions and uses batch processing to reduce operational complexity. Additionally, confidential transfer mechanisms ensure privacy without compromising compliance. For everyday users and businesses, the Stable Wallet offers accessible features such as social logins, credit and debit card integration, and wallet aliases. The roadmap outlines ambitious future phases to elevate network performance and functionality. Phase 2 will introduce optimistic parallel execution to boost throughput and will also add advanced enterprise tools, such as a dedicated USDT transfer aggregator and enterprise-level blockspace. Phase 3 will transition the network to a DAG-based consensus model for enhanced speed and resilience. This phase will also expand developer resources to foster innovation within the Stable ecosystem. The blockchain project has garnered support from Bitfinex and USDT0. While the core team remains undisclosed, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has publicly praised the Stable team for their groundbreaking efforts. As of 21:08 UTC on July 1, Tether USDt (USDT) is trading at $1.00, and according to CoinMarketCap, its 24-hour volume shows a -0.035% change.
