imToken, a leading non-custodial Web3 wallet, has added full support for Stable, a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain that uses Tether's USDT as its native gas token.
This integration allows imToken users to pay transaction fees directly in USDT on the Stable network, removing the requirement to hold separate volatile native tokens for gas.
Key Takeaways
- imToken now supports Stable Layer 1 blockchain for seamless USDT management.
- Pay gas fees directly with USDT, eliminating need for separate volatile tokens.
- Simplifies stablecoin transfers, DeFi, and payments on a dedicated network.
- Enhances accessibility for remittances and cross-border transactions worldwide.
- Builds on imToken's multi-chain infrastructure serving millions of users.
The move addresses a persistent pain point in stablecoin usage: managing multiple assets solely to cover network fees. On most blockchains, users must acquire and hold the chain's native token (such as ETH on Ethereum or TRX on Tron) to execute transactions involving stablecoins like USDT.
Stable eliminates this by designating USDT as the gas asset, streamlining operations for transfers, DeFi interactions, and payments.
StableChain launched its mainnet on December 8, 2025, backed by Tether and Bitfinex affiliates. The network features EVM compatibility, sub-second block finality, and a dual-token model: USDT handles gas and settlements, while the separate STABLE token supports governance and proof-of-stake validation.
This design prioritizes high-volume stablecoin transactions, with reported pre-deposits exceeding $2 billion and partnerships including institutional custodians like Anchorage Digital.
imToken, serving millions of users across more than 150 countries, already processes a significant volume of USDT transfers, particularly on Tron where it originated as an early supporter. The wallet supports major chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tron, with built-in features for token swaps, DApp browsing, and hardware wallet integration.
By incorporating Stable, imToken expands its multi-chain capabilities in regions reliant on stablecoins for remittances, savings, and cross-border payments. In 2024, imToken introduced the imToken Card for direct stablecoin spending online and offline, further bridging digital assets to real-world use.
Brian Mehler, CEO of Stable, stated: "We are excited to partner with imToken, a renowned name in the decentralized wallet space." The integration aligns with imToken's focus on making stablecoins practical for everyday applications beyond storage and trading.
StableChain positions itself as the first "stablechain" optimized for USDT ecosystem efficiency, targeting payment processors, on-chain finance, real-world assets (RWAs), and enterprise adoption. Fees paid in USDT accrue to a treasury managed by smart contracts, ensuring predictable costs without exposure to volatile gas tokens.
This development occurs amid growing stablecoin adoption, with USDT maintaining the largest market share and circulation exceeding 184 billion tokens. Specialized networks like Stable aim to capture payment flows traditionally handled by general-purpose chains, offering lower latency and compliance-focused features.
imToken users can now access Stable directly within the app for asset management, transfers, and DApp interactions on the network. The wallet continues to emphasize self-custody, security, and user control.
Conclusion
imToken's integration with Stable marks a tactical advancement in stablecoin usability, enabling direct USDT gas payments on a purpose-built Layer 1.
This reduces friction for everyday transactions and supports broader adoption in payments and finance.
