How XPL Powers Plasma’s Fast and Scalable Blockchain
Ever wished sending digital money could be as fast as thinking, without confusing steps or high fees? That’s exactly what Plasma and its token, XPL, are designed to do.
In crypto, speed and cost matter. If sending money takes minutes—or costs more than your coffee—most people won’t use it in everyday life. Plasma solves this problem, and XPL is the engine that keeps the system running smoothly, allowing stablecoins to move quickly, cheaply, and securely.
What Is Plasma?
Think of Plasma as a super-efficient highway for digital money. It’s a blockchain built to handle lots of activity without slowing down, unlike older networks that get congested when traffic spikes.
This matters most for stablecoins—cryptocurrencies like USDT or USDC that track real-world money and avoid wild price swings. Stablecoins are meant to function like digital cash, but older blockchains often make them slow and expensive to send. Plasma changes that.
