Plasma XPL: Zero-fee transfers shift security incentives toward alternative revenue mechanisms.
It’s like removing toll booths, then funding road repairs with membership dues.The network tries to make stablecoin-style transfers feel frictionless by minimizing or removing per-transaction fees, so everyday payments don’t get priced out. That comfort comes with a hard constraint: if users aren’t paying at the moment of use, validators still need a reliable way to cover operating costs and stay honest.In practice, it means validators still need to get paid somehow, so the network has to lean on rewards, staking, and a few guardrails to stop free transfers turning into spam.XPL can cover fees where they exist, gets staked to secure validators, and is used for governance votes on key parameters.Uncertainty: I’m not fully sure the anti-spam setup holds up once usage gets genuinely noisy. @Plasma $XPL #plasma
