Plasma Blockchain: A Purpose-Built Layer 1 for Stablecoin Settlement
Plasma is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain designed exclusively for stablecoin payments and settlement. Unlike general-purpose networks that try to do everything, Plasma focuses on one clear mission: making stablecoin transfers fast, simple, low-cost, and reliable for real-world use.
Plasma is fully EVM-compatible through Reth, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts with minimal changes. Familiar tools, wallets, and workflows work seamlessly, making onboarding easy for both developers and businesses. At the same time, Plasma introduces its own high-performance consensus mechanism, PlasmaBFT, delivering sub-second finality—an essential feature for payments, remittances, and financial settlement.
What truly sets Plasma apart is its stablecoin-first design. Users can send USDT with zero gas fees, removing a major barrier for everyday transactions. Plasma also enables stablecoins to be used directly as gas, eliminating the need to hold volatile native tokens just to interact with the network. This creates a predictable, user-friendly experience for individuals and enterprises alike.
Security and neutrality are core pillars of Plasma. The network is anchored to Bitcoin, leveraging Bitcoin’s proven security model to enhance trust and censorship resistance. This ensures Plasma remains resilient, neutral, and suitable for global financial use.
Built for both retail users and institutions, Plasma delivers fast, affordable transfers for daily payments and robust, compliance-ready infrastructure for financial applications. Plasma is not just another blockchain—it’s infrastructure designed for the future of the stablecoin economy. 🚀
