In the world of Web3, many projects are still charging an entry fee, and just thinking about it is frustrating. Traditional internet giants burn money on various subsidies to attract new users, offering red packets for registration, first-order discounts, and a flurry of benefits, almost begging users to join.
But what about Web3? As soon as newcomers arrive, they have to pay Gas fees, and a few dollars in transaction fees immediately drive most people away. Who requires payment to register for an app? This barrier is absurdly anti-humanity, so it's no wonder user growth is always stagnant, with 90% of potential players locked out.
Plasma ($XPL), however, is completely different. It has embedded a user-first approach into its protocol from the ground up. Through the Paymaster mechanism, project parties can use $XPL to cover all Gas fees for users, so they don't have to worry about anything. Newcomers who don't understand Gas or don't want to spend money can easily click a few times to start playing.
It may seem like the project has incurred some additional operational costs, but in reality, it has completely dismantled the entry barrier, allowing ordinary people to dare to try and stay. This is the true understanding of growth strategy: first inviting people in, then slowly cultivating habits and ecosystems. Unlike other chains that are still debating who should pay the Gas, Plasma has directly minimized friction, especially achieving a zero Gas experience in stablecoin transfers. Users experience it similarly to Web2 payment apps.
In the long run, this user-friendly design will accelerate the popularity of Web3, and as the core asset of the network, $XPL will continue to stabilize due to real usage and value capture. For Web3 to break out, it relies not on aloof technical showcases, but on grounded user experiences. Plasma's move is truly insightful.
