Total Token Supply & Distribution

The total supply of STBL’s governance token (USST) is determined through governance decisions and follows a controlled release mechanism. This supply is strategically distributed across key categories to drive adoption, incentivize liquidity, and ensure the protocol's long-term sustainability.
1. Protocol Incentives and Liquidity Provision (40%)
A significant portion of USST tokens is allocated to incentivize participation and ensure adequate liquidity.
- Users who provide liquidity or engage in protocol activities such as minting USST and YLD are rewarded.
- These incentives drive adoption, maintain the stability of the ecosystem, and encourage continuous participation.
2. Treasury and Ecosystem Development (30%)
The treasury serves as a reserve to fund long-term protocol growth, infrastructure upgrades, and ecosystem development initiatives.
- This allocation ensures that resources are available for future technological advancements and operational improvements.
- Additionally, it supports partnerships, community grants, and ecosystem expansion.
3. Governance and Staking Rewards (20%)
USST holders who stake their tokens gain voting rights, influencing critical protocol decisions such as fee adjustments, collateral approvals, and yield distribution.
- Stakers are rewarded with additional USST tokens, fostering long-term engagement and active governance participation.
- This mechanism ensures a decentralized decision-making process.
4. Early Adopters and Private Sale (10%)
To accelerate protocol adoption and ensure the involvement of strategic partners, a portion of the USST supply is allocated to early adopters and private sale investors.
- These stakeholders often provide valuable contributions, including funding, technical expertise, and market insights.
- Their participation further strengthens the protocol’s ecosystem.
Ensuring Decentralization and Growth
This well-structured distribution model not only supports the protocol’s initial adoption phase but also ensures its long-term stability. By balancing incentives for users, stakeholders, and governance participants, STBL fosters a decentralized and sustainable ecosystem where decisions are made in alignment with community interests.
