Most payment systems celebrate the moment funds move
Ops celebrates when everyone stops watching
I’ve seen USDT land on chain and still sit unusable for hours
Not because it failed
Because no one trusted the silence
Gasless flows removed friction
They didn’t remove doubt
So humans filled the gap
Screenshots
Refresh loops
“Just confirming” messages sent twice
Nothing was wrong
Which made it worse
On Plasma the pressure isn’t speed
It’s the cost of supervision after finality
The quiet window where money exists
but behavior freezes
A payment isn’t done when the chain agrees
It’s done when attention disengages
Until then
it’s settlement in theory
not in operations
