Application specific chains have gained traction, yet they often struggle with maintenance and security. Plasma offers an alternative path. Through shared execution infrastructure, @plasma reduces overhead while preserving customization. The $XPL token underwrites this model by aligning incentives across applications. Storage-oriented protocols like Walrus illustrate a similar logic at the data layer. Together, they suggest a future where specialization does not imply isolation. Instead, #plasma embodies a cooperative framework that supports diverse use cases without fragmentation.
