How does Plasma make stablecoins the “native economic unit” on its network?

Plasma is not trying to be another general purpose Layer 1..

It is building a dedicated highway for stablecoins, a $160 billion asset class that currently moves on roads not designed for it.

The technical choice to fork Reth for full EVM compatibility means existing dApps can port over easily, but the real innovation is, you know, in the economic layer. Features like gasless USDT transfers and stablecoin first gas pricing are not just conveniences, they flip the script to make the stablecoin the native economic unit, not just another token. My review of their approach suggests this could, essentially, significantly lower barriers for real world payment applications. The planned Bitcoin anchored security, using Bitcoin’s proof of work to finalize Plasma’s blocks, is a clever bid for neutrality in an ecosystem often questioned for its alignment. For retail users in high adoption markets and institutions exploring blockchain based finance, Plasma offers a focused answer to a specific, growing need.
