Been reading more about @Plasma and honestly it feels like one of those Layer 1s that actually knows what it wants to be. Plasma is built only for stablecoin settlement, not trying to do everything at once, and that focus matters a lot.
With full EVM compatibility using Reth, sub-second finality powered by PlasmaBFT, and gasless USDT transfers, it already feels practical for real payments. Paying fees directly in stablecoins makes sense for users in high adoption regions, not everyone wants volatile gas tokens.
Add Bitcoin-anchored security for neutrality and censorship resistance, and you can see why Plasma aims at both retail and institutions in global finance. This is not hype design, it’s payment-first thinking.
