For institutions, stables are primarily a messaging protocol innovation, like ACH or SWIFT, but where the 'medium is the message' (the message is both the state change and the trusted, instant settlement -- this the key innovation of blockchains) vs. legacy systems where the message and settlement are independent processes.
For consumers, stables are primarily an innovation in convenience and economics/incentives. They combine the potential for rewards and better economics with the convenience of instant global financial access (still being built out)

The first app on any smart contract platform is money (h/t @punk4156)
A good money (for SoV) has a number of measurable characteristics —most important is predictable, deflationary supply. Others include, gini, decentralization, yield, lindy, (what else?)
Deflationary supply is something that most smart contract chains do not currently have. Begs the question: what needs to be true for that to change?
