The core mission of the @plasma project is to make moving digital dollars as seamless and cost-effective as sending a text message. By leveraging a high-performance PlasmaBFT consensus mechanism (a variant of the Fast HotStuff algorithm), the network achieves lightning-fast finality and high throughput. This technical foundation allows for a standout feature: zero-fee transfers for $USDT.

By removing the friction of high transaction costs, Plasma is positioning itself as the premier settlement layer for remittances, merchant payments, and everyday retail use.
