Plasma is taking a payments-company approach to blockchain design. Instead of forcing every user or app to hold the native chain token just to execute transactions, it introduces custom gas tokens. That means supported flows can pay fees directly in USDT and even pBTC, rather than requiring $XPL first.
For real products, that changes everything. Businesses can project costs in the same currency they earn revenue in, without juggling volatile gas balances. Users don’t need to buy and manage an extra token just to move stablecoins. It reduces friction, simplifies onboarding, and makes stablecoin payments feel closer to normal digital money instead of crypto infrastructure.
If stablecoins are meant to act like dollars, the experience has to stay in dollar terms. Plasma is designing around that idea.
