# Stable Gain (deprecated)
The Stable Gain vault (sbUSD) is being sunset and has stopped accepting new deposits. This is a planned closure - a commercial decision about where we focus our efforts and resources - following a decline in the vault’s TVL.
#### Key dates
* **13th July 2026** - Deposits are paused and the redemption rate is frozen
* **31st August 2026** - sbUSD dApp is sunset. Withdrawal available only through smart contract
#### Withdrawals
* Already claimed: Nothing changes.
* Not yet withdrawn: Withdraw through the existing [dApp](https://gain.kerneldao.com/vaults/stable-vault) before 31st August 2026; after it is sunset, withdraw directly through the [vault contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0x8ecc0b419dfe3ae197bc96f2a03636b5e1be91db).

## 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://kerneldao.gitbook.io/kernel/getting-started/gain/stable-gain-deprecated.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.
