Stable, the Layer 1 blockchain backed by Tether, is set to roll out a significant mainnet upgrade on February 4. The update to version 1.2.0 represents a pivotal shift in how the network operates, particularly in its gas fee mechanism.
The core change involves switching from the previous wrap/unwrap model to a direct USDT0 native gas implementation. This technical transition simplifies the user experience by removing intermediate steps and allowing USDT0 to function as the blockchain’s native currency for transaction fees. According to reporting from PANews, this streamlined approach addresses one of the pain points developers and users faced on the network.
Beyond the gas mechanism redesign, the upgrade delivers improvements to indexer staking lifecycle observability, giving users and ecosystem participants better visibility into staking operations. The development team has also prioritized enhanced compatibility across the network, making it easier for developers to build and deploy applications on the Stable ecosystem. These enhancements collectively aim to strengthen the platform’s position as a developer-friendly Layer 1 solution backed by Tether’s stablecoin infrastructure.
