Plasma is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments and global money movement, designed for real-world use cases that demand speed, low cost, and high throughput. As an EVM-compatible network, Plasma enables developers to deploy Ethereum-style smart contracts seamlessly while benefiting from innovative features like zero-fee USDT transfers through a built-in paymaster system that sponsors basic stablecoin transactions. This makes everyday transfers cheaper and more accessible for users globally, especially in regions where traditional financial infrastructure is limited. Beyond stablecoin transfers, Plasma supports custom gas tokens, allowing users to pay fees in assets like USDT or BTC, simplifying onboarding and reducing reliance on holding native tokens for gas. The protocol also integrates a trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge, letting BTC enter the ecosystem as pBTC and be used in smart contracts without custodial solutions. The native token $XPL plays a central role in securing the network via staking, paying transaction fees, and incentivizing validators, while the flexible architecture supports evolving DeFi, remittances, and cross-border payment solutions. With strong ecosystem backing and a focus on scalable, real-world utility, @Plasma is pushing the boundaries of what stablecoin-centric infrastructure can achieve. #Plasma
