Economic Engineering: The $XPL Token and the Paymaster Mechanism:
The $XPL token is the native utility and governance asset of the @Plasma network. Its economic design is intended to balance the need for network security with a frictionless user experience, a challenge that has historically been the "Achilles' heel" of Layer 1 blockchains.
XPL has a fixed genesis supply of 10 billion tokens. The distribution is designed to incentivize long-term growth while ensuring the security of the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus.
