Most payment systems don’t lose trust when something breaks. They lose it when outcomes stop feeling repeatable. A transfer clears, but not the same way twice.
A fee surprises the user at the last moment. Nothing fails, yet people hesitate.
Plasma seems to start from that behavior. Rather than pushing speed for its own sake, it treats predictability as the real constraint. Stablecoin first execution and reduced fee friction aim to remove the small decisions that make users pause mid transfer.
In payments, reliability isn’t about being fast once. It’s about behaving the same way often enough that people stop checking.
