A cross-border payroll run stalled on @Plasma
No error code. No lag.
A finance ops team wrapping the week. Same vault they've tapped for months. Same batch of USDC payouts they fire off in clusters. Plasma chain. Fee-free. Instant enough that the script barely logs the handoff.
The queue clears.
Not instantly. Just swift enough to skip the double-take.
Refresh.
No alert. No spinner to halt the flow. Plasma's OP-stack compatibility mirrors every other rollup they've scripted. Same endpoint. Same seamless API pretending latency is optional.
On Plasma, both batches fire.
Flawlessly.
Two confirmations. Two webhooks. Two settled ledgers locked before the lead even tabs back to the dashboard. PlasmaBFT seals the deal without polling for permission.
No glitch to flag. Just two "disbursed" logs.
Two payloads dispatched. Both legit. Both executed. Immutable consensus doesn't parse duplicates.
The overage surfaces later.
In payroll recon.
The team glosses over it initially. Plasma's zero-gas USDC strips the hesitation cue that something permanent just triggered. No pop-up where expense prompts a pause. No drag that turns "rerun" into a deliberate choice.
By the shift's close, the month is locked.
Same origin. Same recipients. Same totals. Seconds apart. Both flagged complete. Both already piped into the tax withholding the offshore vendors auto-deduct.
The compliance officer DMs in Teams: "Duplicate disbursals?"
No one recalls.
The automation doesn't tag retries. Plasma never vowed to.
Most ops treat refresh like a nudge, schooled by legacy chains that way. Buffers. Provisional commits. "Perhaps it queued." A reflex honed for holdups.
Plasma doesn't hold.
By the time the analyst spots the twin hooks, both are etched in the vendors' books.
The payees claim both. Why not? Dual valid transfers on a stable rail that never flinched. Motive isn't their mandate. They're wired to tally, not triage.
So the excess ripples outward.
Refund requests. Manual clawbacks. Wires pleading partners to reverse a payout that screams success. Ledger reversals that balance but birth a compliance footnote auditors will grill.
The refresh didn't accelerate. It amplified from downstream.
Payroll design squirms here. Not because Plasma is rigid, but because it's precise. It processes what you push, per payload, even if the push stemmed from oversight not strategy.
And squads pivot quick that "dupe detection" isn't a luxury on a fee-free chain. It's fiscal hygiene. Nonce checks graduate from optional. State sync becomes structural. Because when throughput erases delays, the sole safeguard is proactive plumbing.
One floats rate-limiting the API.
Another pitches a dedupe layer.
A third mutters the hit landed already. Not in gas. In overpays. In negotiations. In rapport with vendors now untangling a windfall that never erred.
The run succeeded. The wages hit.
Twice.
Plasma didn't penalize the refresh. It simply declined to dilute it.
And in multinational payroll, where every reversal spans jurisdictions, filings, and fiscal years, that precision echoes louder than any fee waiver ever could.
The script got triggered again.
The chain didn't query context.
Two logs. One overdraw. And a "reversal" entry that'll linger post-audit.
