In January, USST will be deployed on the mainnet, integrating Hypernative for an automated anchoring mechanism and launching DeFi lending functionality;
In February, liquidity will be injected and RWA collateral will be expanded, and an ecosystem-specific stablecoin (ESS) structure will be deployed on the testnet;
In March, plans are in place to extend native USST minting to other high-performance chains such as Solana and Stellar, and to release a simplified interface for the STBL DApp.
