Stable accounts are stablecoin wallets. Only you have access to your wallet using your Passkey, and you can withdraw your funds to a bank or wallet at any time. Stable makes it seamless to manage your stablecoin wallet by covering all network and transaction fees.
Stable allows you to earn high yield by depositing your funds on Aave. Aave is the largest decentralized lending platform that enables users to lend and borrow stablecoins without the need for intermediaries like banks.
Stable uses USDC - a stablecoin that is 1:1 backed by US dollars issued by Coinbase and Circle (both US-based regulated financial institutions). There is nearly $35B of USDC in circulation and it is used by financial institutions around the world including Blackrock, Fidelity, and more. You can learn more about USDC here.

Variable Interest Rates
When you deposit your funds on Stable, they are lent out to borrowers on the Aave platform. In return, you earn interest on your deposit at rates often higher than traditional savings accounts. Interest rates on Aave are variable, meaning the rates constantly change based on supply and demand of borrowing and lending activity. There are no minimum deposit amounts and you may withdraw your funds from the platform at any time.
Over-Collateralized Loans
As a Stable user, your deposits are lent out on the Aave platform. Loans on Aave are over-collateralized, which means that the borrowers must deposit collateral worth more than the amount they want to borrow. For example - for a loan of $100 the borrower must deposit $125 (or frequently even more) worth of assets to the platform as collateral. Only approved assets Aave determines have sufficient liquidity and stability can be used as collateral - including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stablecoins.
This over-collateralization is important because it protects lenders from default risk. If the borrower does not repay the loan, the collateral is used to pay back the lender. Similarly, if the value of the collateral drops below a certain threshold, the borrower’s collateral is automatically sold by the platform to repay the loan, ensuring Stable user’s funds are not impacted.
