Payments on Stable
Stable is built around payments. USDT0 is the native asset and the gas token, so settlement and fees share one balance. Single-slot finality means a transfer clears in under a second. ERC-3009, EIP-7702, and x402 are native primitives, not workarounds. You can settle with a signature, pull from a delegated account, or charge per HTTP request without running a billing stack.
What you can build
- P2P transfers: native USDT0 sends with 21k gas and sub-second finality.
- Subscriptions: pull-based recurring billing with EIP-7702 delegation.
- Invoice settlement: ERC-3009
transferWithAuthorizationwith deterministic nonces for exact reconciliation. - Pay-per-call APIs: x402 middleware for per-request USDT0 payments; no API keys, no sign-ups.
- Zero-gas UX: application-sponsored transactions via the Gas Waiver service.
- Cross-chain USDT0: LayerZero OFT bridging from Ethereum and other networks.
How Stable differs
- One asset for everything: the sender doesn't hold a separate gas token.
- Native ERC-3009: USDT0 implements
transferWithAuthorizationdirectly, so payments settle with a signature and no approve step. - Deterministic finality: a block is final the moment it's committed. No confirmation waits.
- Native x402: the facilitator pays no gas through the Gas Waiver, so per-request settlement costs stay below a cent.
Start here
- Send your first USDT0: Native and ERC-20 transfers on the same balance.
- Zero gas transactions: Transfer USDT0 with the fee covered by a Gas Waiver.
- Learn P2P payments: Build a wallet + send + receive + history app from scratch.
- Build a pay-per-call API: Price HTTP endpoints per request with x402.
- Stable SDK: Use the typed client for transfer, bridge, and swap in a few lines.
Payment primitives
- ERC-3009: Transfer With Authorization: the settlement standard behind invoices and x402.
- x402 (HTTP-native payments): Server responds 402, client signs ERC-3009, facilitator settles on-chain.
