RockStable

RockStable is a United States-based digital asset company developing IRMA, an inflation-resistant stablecoin designed for the Solana ecosystem. IRMA stands for Inflation Resistant Medium of Account. Rather than maintaining a permanently fixed $1 redemption promise, the proposed token separates its inflation-linked mint price from a reserve-based redemption price. RockStable presents the model as a way to preserve purchasing power while reducing reliance on the price volatility associated with assets such as Bitcoin and gold. As of August 2026, IRMA remains in development, with an alpha release, reserve dashboard, and decentralized exchange trading described as forthcoming.

History and Background

RockStable was founded by Carlos Tapang, who serves as chief executive officer. The company initially focused on ROKS, a USDC-backed payment token and wallet developed for cross-border transfers and remittances. RockStable said it launched ROKS in 2022 before shifting its main product focus toward IRMA. This progression reflects a move from payment-oriented stablecoin infrastructure to a broader monetary design intended to address the declining purchasing power of fiat currency.

The company is privately held and maintains operations in Bellevue, Washington. RockStable's website identifies Washington money transmitter license 550-MT-142136. The company also appeared on the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions' September 2025 virtual-currency licensee list under NMLS ID 2249307. That listing establishes a documented regulatory footprint, although users should verify the current scope and status of any license before relying on it.
