Bridging to StableChain: A Guide to Choosing the Right Route

StableChain is an innovative Layer 1 blockchain where gas is paid in USDT0, eliminating the need for native gas tokens. Users can bridge their assets to StableChain using either the Relay route or the canonical routes through the USDT0 mesh.

The fastest general-purpose route is Relay, which offers a seamless and instant bridging experience. With Relay, users can connect their wallet, select the source chain and asset, set the destination asset to USDT0 on Stable, and enter their amount. The interface returns a live quote showing exactly what will arrive, allowing for easy sanity-checking.

The fee for this service is baked into the quote, typically in the low basis points for stablecoin routes, plus the relayer's spread already inside it. Users can approve and confirm the transaction, which is then processed by professional relayers who compete to fill the order from their own capital on the destination chain.

The canonical routes run through the USDT0 system itself, allowing users to transfer via the OFT Mesh or the Legacy Mesh via its Arbitrum hub. These paths offer a more direct approach, but may require additional steps and verification.
