As a Layer 1 blockchain focused on stablecoins, Plasma has achieved an ecological construction speed that can be described as 'light speed' since its launch. My attention has gone beyond just a few leading protocols to a rapidly growing 'free trade zone'.
DeFi veterans and newcomers are advancing together. Leading protocols like Aave have already settled in, attracting over $6.2 billion in deposits within a week of launch, demonstrating market recognition of its 'stablecoin dedicated highway' performance. Meanwhile, innovative protocols are also seizing opportunities, such as Fluid choosing to launch its DEX V2 on the Plasma chain, attracted by the trading experience innovation brought by zero fees and high throughput.
Infrastructure and financial applications are being built in sync. The prosperity of the ecosystem cannot be separated from 'water, electricity, and coal'. Plasma has deeply integrated Chainlink oracles to provide a reliable data foundation for complex financial applications. Even more exciting are innovative projects like Clearpool, which are introducing advanced financial modules such as 'on-chain credit' into this new area, targeting the trillion-dollar stablecoin settlement market.
Professional perspective: The underlying logic of ecological prosperity. All of this is not accidental. Plasma, through its PlasmaBFT consensus mechanism, fundamentally achieves zero-fee transfers for USDT, providing unparalleled cost advantages for all ecological applications. When a foundational protocol can greatly reduce the liquidity friction of core assets (stablecoins), it naturally becomes the best testing ground for application innovation. Currently, a brand new financial ecological outline centered around stablecoins is clearly emerging on Plasma, from lending, trading, to payments and credit.
