6.2. Universal additive invariant
Let be the stabilization
[53, §1.4] of ; by construction, this is a
stable -category. Denote by the following composite

Theorem 6.10. The functor is the universal additive invariant, i.e.,
given any stable presentable -category , we have an
equivalence of -categories

Proof. The result follows from theorem 6.7 and from the
universal property of stabilization (i.e., [53, 1.4.5.5]). Note
that stabilization preserves colimits and sends split-exact sequences to cofiber sequences, so the split-exact
sequence (6.2) is sent to a split cofiber sequence
in .
