Bitcoin’s biggest limitation has never been its security—it’s the lack of scalable execution without compromising decentralization. Plasma introduces a paradigm shift by leveraging BitVM to bring verifiable computation to Bitcoin. Unlike traditional rollups or sidechains that rely on external consensus or trusted bridges, Plasma uses fraud proofs and Bitcoin’s own scripting capabilities to enforce correct execution.
What makes $XPL unique is that it doesn’t require changes to Bitcoin’s base layer. No soft fork. No new opcodes. Just cryptographic commitment and challenge mechanisms. This opens the door to trust-minimized applications—deFi, gaming, identity—directly secured by Bitcoin.
Plasma’s architecture separates data availability from execution, ensuring nodes can verify correctness without storing the full chain. It’s a fresh take on an old name, but this time with real constraints and real trade-offs.
I’m watching @Plasma closely. If execution matches the vision, this could be one of the most important Bitcoin scalability experiments in years. #Plasma
