Stable CEO Brian Mehler outlined the company's distinct approach in the stablecoin chain race, emphasizing its technical architecture and institutional focus. Unlike Tether-backed Plasma, which has seen rapid TVL growth and DeFi partnerships, Stable prioritizes low-cost, predictable USDT-based gas fees, sub-second transaction finality, and guaranteed blockspace for enterprise clients. Mehler pointed to Stable's Layer 1 design and Stable BFT consensus as key differentiators. Looking ahead, Mehler revealed plans for future upgrades, including Optimistic Parallel Execution (OPE) and DAG consensus, aimed at enhancing scalability and efficiency. These developments underscore Stable's commitment to B2B and institutional settlement, setting it apart in the competitive stablecoin landscape.
