As the blockchain industry develops, it's becoming apparent that we need to address the real issues preventing blockchain from going mainstream through some of these key projects. @Plasma understands this philosophy very well and, rather than trying to become all things to all people, is concentrating on constructing a strong basis for the purpose of developing a sustainable and scalable ecosystem that can serve as a viable infrastructure for both developers and actual applications into the future.

Another major concern for the blockchain network around the world today is scalability. A number of networks can handle low transaction volumes with relative ease but have significant difficulties handling the added demands placed on them by their users as the number of transactions increases. This can create situations where networks are unable to accommodate sufficient amounts of traffic and become bottlenecks. Plasma is meeting this issue head-on by developing a foundation based on the principles of performance, scalability, and stability. Consequently, there are many developers that will have an opportunity to develop applications that would otherwise not be able to meet the demands of a growing user base.
Plasma has developed a unique focus on establishing trust behind long-term development for builders through an ecosystem where infrastructure can support project scalability without compromising performance or functionality. It's important that builders feel confident in the underlying network as they scale their applications to meet demand, and Plasma aims to instill that confidence by building an ecosystem where infrastructure will remain stable and perform reliably as they scale.

The value of $XPL is reflective of this long-term vision and purpose. As opposed to simply acting as a speculative asset, $XPL serves to provide essential network function as well as aligning incentives among all parties involved, while contributing to the long-term viability of the protocol itself. Tokens designed with functionality in mind are more likely to have increased value as the usage of them grows; this seems to be central to Plasma's goal.
Plasma has a significant characteristic: it shows patience. Many in the industry have a tendency to get excited about chasing quick returns on investment and are eager for recognition based on doing very little work or continuing to build upon sound principles. This dedication and discipline are frequently responsible for distinguishing between projects that may drop off the radar, and those that eventually become critical infrastructure. If developers continue searching for platforms that provide them with a consistent basis for deploying applications, then @undefined is likely to create a strong case for being a central player in this market.
Plasma offers a unique way of developing blockchain technology within a shifting market that’s increasingly focused on value rather than fast-return-on-investment. In doing so, @undefined will provide its users with an enterprise-ready solution while also providing an avenue for long-term sustainable growth. While some of these applications may not be the most well-known, they will ultimately help to build the foundation of the next stage of the evolution of the broader blockchain ecosystem. #Plasma
