Plasma feels like it’s trying to eliminate something most systems quietly generate: folklore.
The unofficial advice. The timing tricks. The “always do this” warnings that only experienced users know. When payments depend on best practices, defaults aren’t strong enough.
What stands out about Plasma is how little room it leaves for that culture to form. Normal behavior works. You don’t need insider knowledge. You don’t need to learn the system’s moods.
That matters more than it sounds. Systems that reward attentiveness create quiet hierarchies. Systems that treat intent as enough flatten them.
Plasma doesn’t expect you to master it.
It expects you to use it.
And in payments, the absence of hidden rules is often the clearest sign that infrastructure is finally maturing.
