I Used to Think Plasma Was Late. I Was Measuring the Wrong Thing.

I judged $XPL on narrative timing — who launched first, who had louder traction. Then I went deep into the architecture and realized Plasma isn’t competing for attention. It’s positioning for settlement gravity.

Zero-gas through Paymaster isn’t a UX trick. It restructures who absorbs cost and who controls flow. Pair that with EVM-native compatibility and institutional custody rails, and the audience shifts from degens to operators.

@Plasma doesn’t look early or late from that angle. It looks deliberate. Old cycle metrics don’t capture that. #plasma
