Why should users be forced to hold a native token just to pay gas fees?
That question keeps coming to my mind when I look at how Plasma approaches gas payments.
Instead of locking users into a single native token, Plasma allows gas fees to be paid using USDT and other stablecoins.From a user-experience perspective, this is a meaningful shift. Many users already manage stablecoins daily, but having to buy and maintain a separate gas token often adds unnecessary friction.
My take is that features like custom gas tokens quietly educate the ecosystem on better design choices. As networks grow and daily usage increases, simplicity becomes just as important as security.
In the long run, this kind of flexibility could help Plasma remain accessible, especially for users who value predictability over volatility when interacting on-chain.
