Getting Started

StableSwap is a next-generation decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Stable blockchain. We use an innovative ve(3,3) model that allows users to:
  • Trade tokens with low fees and minimal slippage
  • Provide Liquidity and earn STA token emissions
  • Vote on emission distribution and earn trading fees
  • Govern the protocol through veSTA voting power
Think of it as a community-owned trading platform where everyone who participates gets rewarded!
Getting started is easy!

Safety is our top priority:
  • Open Source: All code is publicly available
  • Tested: Extensive testing on testnet before mainnet
  • Audited: Security audits planned before mainnet launch
  • Battle-Tested Model: Based on proven protocols like Solidly and Velodrome
However, DeFi always carries risks. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Stable is a high-performance blockchain designed for DeFi with:
  • Fast: ~0.7 second block times
  • Low Fees: Powered by gUSDT gas token
  • EVM Compatible: Works with all Ethereum tools
  • Scalable: High transaction throughput
It’s built specifically for applications like StableSwap!

Trading & Liquidity

StableSwap has two fee tiers:
Pool TypeFeeBest For
Stable Pools0.02%Stablecoins and pegged assets
Volatile Pools0.2%Normal token pairs
100% of fees go to veSTA voters who vote for that pool!
Providing liquidity is simple:
  1. Go to the Liquidity section on stableswap.to
  2. Select the token pair you want to provide
  3. Enter the amount of both tokens
  4. Click “Add Liquidity”
  5. Confirm the transaction
You’ll receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool.
Impermanent loss happens when the price ratio of your deposited tokens changes.Simple Example:
  • You deposit 1 ETH + 2000 USDC when ETH = $2000
  • ETH price goes to $3000
  • Your position is now worth less than if you just held the tokens
How to minimize it:
  • Provide liquidity to stable pools (minimal impermanent loss)
  • Choose pairs you believe will stay balanced
  • Earn enough fees/emissions to offset any loss
Yes! You can remove your liquidity at any time.
  1. Go to your liquidity positions
  2. Click on the pool you want to exit
  3. Choose how much to remove (partial or full)
  4. Confirm the transaction
You’ll receive back your tokens plus any earned fees!

Voting & Governance

veSTA (vote-escrowed STA) is the governance token of StableSwap.How it works:
  • Lock your STA tokens for 1 week to 4 years
  • Receive veSTA (voting power)
  • Longer locks = more voting power
  • Your veSTA decreases linearly over time
Benefits:
  • Vote on emission distribution
  • Earn 100% of trading fees from voted pools
  • Receive bribe rewards
  • Get rebase rewards (15% of emissions)
1

Get STA Tokens

Acquire STA tokens through trading or the presale
2

Lock STA

Go to the “Lock” section and choose how long to lock (1 week - 4 years)
3

Receive veSTA

You’ll receive veSTA based on lock amount and duration

Start Voting

Use your veSTA to vote on pools and earn rewards!
Bribes are external incentives that anyone can add to pools to attract votes.How they work:
  • Protocols deposit rewards (in any token) for voters
  • Voters who vote for that pool earn the bribes
  • More votes = more emissions for the pool
Why offer bribes?
  • Attract STA emissions to your pool
  • Build liquidity at low cost
  • Historically, 1inbribescanattract1 in bribes can attract 3-5 in emissions!
No, vote-escrowed locks are permanent until the lock period ends.However:
  • You can increase your lock amount
  • You can extend your lock duration
  • You can sell/transfer your veSTA NFT (coming soon)
Why permanent? This ensures voters are aligned long-term with the protocol’s success.
