$XPL is the native token of Plasma, a Layer 1 focused on fast, zero-fee stablecoin transfers like USDT. But XPL isn’t just gas — it’s designed to reward long-term holders.
Staking & Delegation (Coming Soon):
XPL holders will be able to delegate tokens to validators and earn rewards. Inflation starts around 5% and tapers to ~3%, meaning passive yield while securing the network.
Deflation via Burns:
Plasma uses an EIP-1559-style burn model. While simple USDT transfers are free, DeFi and smart contract activity burns XPL, helping offset inflation as usage grows.
Governance Power:
Holding XPL gives voting rights on upgrades and ecosystem decisions — real influence over Plasma’s future.
Adoption = Value:
Users don’t need XPL to send USDT, which boosts adoption. More usage means more staking demand and more burns — indirectly benefiting holders.
Bottom line:
$XPL offers yield, deflation, governance, and exposure to stablecoin infrastructure growth — not hype, but long-term value.
