StableChain's whitepaper has finally been released, and I found their token design quite interesting after taking a look.
The biggest highlight is that the STABLE token doesn't follow the traditional public chain model—users don’t need to use it to pay gas fees when interacting on-chain; all transaction fees are settled directly in USDT. This design definitely lowers the barrier for regular users, as they no longer need to stock up on native tokens or worry about running out of gas.
STABLE itself has a clear positioning: it’s an ERC-20 governance and coordination token. Its core functions are focused on network security maintenance and community governance voting, effectively separating the roles of “transaction fuel” and “governance rights.”
As for the specific supply numbers, the whitepaper discloses them in detail. However, whether this tokenomics design will work still depends on how the ecosystem develops. The idea of decoupling gas fees and governance tokens is worth paying attention to, especially for application scenarios aiming to lower user costs.

Another "revolutionary gas fee" proposal—it sounds good, but its real-world implementation is still questionable.
Can we talk about whether token decoupling has ever actually worked in practice?
I'm quite interested to see how the ecosystem develops, but I'm worried it might just be another case where the whitepaper looks great but the actual product disappoints.
USDT settlement does lower the entry barrier, which is indeed a bit interesting.
By the way, how much of the supply has been disclosed? Feels like projects like this are the most likely to have hidden issues in their tokenomics.

Paying gas with USDT? This move does lower the psychological barrier for newbies entering the space, but the question is: who will take over the governance rights of these stablecoins?

To be honest, using USDT directly to pay for gas is pretty interesting. Finally, a team has realized just how much ordinary users are being tortured by gas fees.
But can governance tokens and fuel tokens really be completely separated? I feel like we'll still need to see if the ecosystem has real application scenarios to support it.

It seems to have addressed quite a few pain points. The idea of settling Gas fees with USDT is indeed convenient.

Wow, this approach is indeed fresh. I like that gas fees can be settled in USDT without having to hold tokens.
Really? Governance and fuel are separated? Can the ecosystem sustain itself in the future? Seems a bit risky.
This decoupling is clearly aimed at those who are scared of gas fees. Let's see if it can survive.
