Overview
Plasma operates as a blockchain platform that provides high-performance capabilities for decentralized applications which require secure and developer-friendly solutions.
The system delivers rapid finality together with minimal transaction costs which makes it appropriate for DeFi applications and gaming and enterprise solutions.
Getting Started
Developers can build on Plasma using familiar blockchain concepts and tooling. Developers need to establish a node connection through a public RPC endpoint and create a wallet before they can acquire test XPL for their application deployment and testing process.
Architecture
Plasma operates through a modular design which consists of separate layers for consensus and execution processes.
The system achieves high throughput while sustaining its decentralized structure and maintaining strong security protection.
Smart Contracts
Plasma enables the development of smart contracts which work with contemporary virtual machine systems.
Developers can create and deploy their contracts through this system while using its running capabilities for contract upgrades.
Tooling And SDKs
Development teams can use the expanding ecosystem of SDKs, APIs and CLI tools to streamline their processes for development and testing and monitoring tasks across different environments.
Security And Best Practices
Secure and robust applications require developers to use audited libraries together with access control mechanisms while executing extensive testing on testnet environments before moving to mainnet.
