@Plasma is not just another general-purpose public chain, but a dedicated track optimized for stablecoin settlement. It directly integrates the two most painful aspects of stablecoins—Gas fees and transfer experience—into the protocol layer, making daily payments as smooth as fiat currency.
Tech Stack: Reth achieves complete EVM compatibility, allowing contract/tool/wallet migration without changes; PlasmaBFT consensus (Fast HotStuff variant) provides sub-second finality and thousands of TPS, perfectly matching high-frequency small-scale scenarios.
Core Features: USDT gas-free transfers: built-in paymaster mechanism allows zero-cost USDT transfers between ordinary wallets without the need to hold native XPL, significantly lowering the threshold for retail investors in emerging markets, cross-border remittances, and daily payments. Gas supports stablecoin payments: whitelisted stablecoins like USDT/USDC can directly pay network fees, eliminating the need to buy native coins beforehand and bridge, solving the classic pain point of "wanting to use stablecoins but being forced to acquire gas tokens."
Security introduces finality through Bitcoin anchored bridges to the BTC mainnet, balancing neutrality and censorship resistance, making it more suitable for payment institutions, financial institutions, and real-world settlement, rather than just demo volume.
Compared to the pursuit of an all-purpose general L1, @Plasma chooses extreme verticality: native stablecoin settlement, rather than relying on L2 or application layer detours. In today's world where stablecoins account for over 70% of crypto transactions, this direction represents the most promising infrastructure potential.
