🚨 PLASMA VS L2 FINALITY: THE REAL RETAIL BATTLE 🚨
The difference between $USDT transfer finality on PlasmaBFT versus crowded L2s is existential for operations. Plasma commits instantly—no spinner, no limbo.
• Plasma: Finality is permanent. Reversal means a new transaction (refund).
• L2s: Ambiguity lives post-submission. Operations builds in caution waiting for the transaction to become "boring."
The risk on Plasma isn't reversion; it's system double-execution because the interface lags the ledger. On L2s, the risk is uncertainty when you need certainty most. Settlement is the baseline or a reconciliation nightmare.
