# Networks
STABLEPAD is live on multiple networks. Each network pairs coins against its own stablecoin, so prices and market caps read directly in dollars. You pick the network when you launch or trade, and your wallet switches to it automatically.
| Network | Chain ID | Pair token | Gas token | Explorer |
| --------- | -------- | ---------- | --------- | ----------------------------- |
| Stable | 988 | USDT0 | USDT0 | stablescan.xyz |
| Robinhood | 4663 | USDG | ETH | robinhoodchain.blockscout.com |
| Arc | 5042 | USDC | USDC | arc.exploreme.pro |
| Ethereum | 1 | USDT | ETH | etherscan.io |
| BNB Chain | 56 | USD1 | BNB | bscscan.com |
## Stable
Stable is the home network of STABLEPAD, chain ID 988. Coins pair against USDT0, and gas is also paid in USDT0, so you only need one asset to launch and trade. This is the most liquid network on the platform and the default for new launches.
## Robinhood
Robinhood is chain ID 4663. Coins pair against USDG, and gas is paid in ETH. The launch, trade, and fee model is identical to Stable, only the pair token changes.
## Arc
Arc is Circle's stablecoin native Layer 1, chain ID 5042. The native gas token is USDC itself, and coins pair against native USDC, so a single asset covers everything on Arc. Arc mainnet is a new network, so during maintenance windows the Arc team can restrict access and Arc coins may be temporarily unreadable. Funds are never lost during these windows.
## Ethereum
Ethereum mainnet, chain ID 1. Coins pair against USDT (6 decimals), and gas is paid in ETH. Ethereum is the deepest market in crypto, though gas fees for launching are higher than the other networks, so plan for that when you deploy here.
## BNB Chain
BNB Chain (BSC), chain ID 56. Coins pair against USD1, the World Liberty Financial stablecoin, and gas is paid in BNB. Launching only needs a little BNB for gas. USD1 is the pair token, so you use USD1 for an optional dev buy and buyers use USD1 to trade. Gas on BNB Chain is cheap.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.stablepad.app/getting-started/networks.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
