A Layer-2 scaling framework called Plasma was created to reduce congestion on major blockchains such as Ethereum. It works by establishing child chains that handle transactions off-chain before sending Merkle-root checkpoints to the main network on a regular basis.
Through fraud proofs, this architecture preserves base-layer security while enabling thousands of transactions per second with much lower fees. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are the focus of specialized versions such as Plasma Cash.
These platforms make ownership verification easier and avoid mass-exit problems by giving each token a unique identifier. High-throughput architectures are used by other highly scalable ecosystems, like Avalanche and Solana, to enable quick minting and low-latency trading.
When combined, these technologies guarantee that NFT marketplaces continue to be effective and affordable for creators around the world.
