# Stables - Documentation

Stables is an experimental, protocol-focused research project built on Winiwa.
The project explores minting, burning, oracle, and collateralization mechanisms
for a non-custodial, censorship-resistant monetary system.

## What changed in this version (demo v0.0.0.1.0)

First release of the public demo channel. Highlights:

- **Live, real on-chain native Minima send and receive** when your node is connected, plus a QR scanner for fast in-person payments. Wables (CADw, EURw, …) are illustrative in this build, not yet on-chain.
- **Guided StablesAgent welcome** with three clear paths: what works right now, set up my bank, and explore the app. The flow never leaves you without a next option.
- **Merchant setup** with a brand-and-locations profile (one brand, many shops, each with its own address, hours and receive address), auto-detected social and map links (including Google Business), delivery and Merchant Cash Exchange opt-ins.
- **Ambassador onboarding** under the 16 Big Mac program, including a secure encrypted "let my ambassador set up my shop" grant.
- **Two ways to access the dapp:** install the MiniDapp package on MinimaOS (recommended) or open the web version and connect your running node.

Full detail in `CHANGELOG.md`.

> This is an early testing release. There may be bugs and unexpected behavior. Only connect a wallet holding funds you are willing to lose. The code is open for review at github.com/StablesCouncil/stablescouncil.github.io; if in doubt, seek a third party opinion. Using the app at this stage is a testing contribution to the community, and we appreciate it.
