🚨 PLASMA IS KILLING THE BUFFER ZONE! 🚨
Forget "fast stablecoin payments" meaning less risk. Plasma's sub-second finality ($PlasmaBFT) removes the safety net you relied on. The buffer is GONE.
When the UI flashes "done," decision pressure hits instantly. Merchants release stock based on the green badge, but the back office screams UNSETTLED. That's where the instant story gets EXPENSIVE.
Slowness used to absorb blame. $Plasma doesn't allow 'maybe' states. Teams are forced to build manual processes—screenshots, refresh rules—just to recreate the buffer that instant finality destroyed. Someone still has to tick "settled."
