What Plasma Is Really Testing
$XPL isn’t just experimenting with faster blocks or cheaper transfers. It’s testing user behavior.
When gas disappears, people stop thinking about fees and start thinking about flow. Transactions become something you route, not something you hesitate over. That shift changes everything.
Early on-chain data already hints at this. USDT activity on Plasma is clustering around large hubs and relayers, not retail endpoints or merchant-style usage. That suggests Plasma’s first real product–market fit isn’t consumer payments UX — it’s invisible financial plumbing.
In a zero-gas environment, distribution matters more than interfaces. The entities that aggregate, relay, and route liquidity quietly become the choke points of adoption.
Payments may come later. Control of flow comes first.
