Key Takeaways
Plasma (XPL) is a purpose-built, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain engineered specifically for stablecoin payments.
At launch, Plasma claimed throughput exceeding 1,000 transactions per second and block times under 1 second, placing it in the high-performance class of blockchain systems.
From an architectural perspective, Plasma layers its protocol into multiple cooperating components: an execution layer, a consensus/sequencing layer, and mechanisms for gas abstraction, paymaster logic, and bridging.
Plasma’s working logic is to combine fast consensus, gas abstraction, and stablecoin-native support into a unified system that treats USD-equivalent value as a first-class asset.
