One of the smartest moves by the @Plasma team was ensuring full EVM compatibility. For developers, this means no new languages to learn—you can deploy your Solidity smart contracts from Ethereum directly to Plasma with zero code changes. However, on #plasma, those same dApps benefit from 100x lower costs and faster confirmation times. The $XPL ecosystem is essentially "Ethereum on steroids," optimized specifically for the stablecoin economy.
