@Plasma has connected its native token XPL and its zero‑fee stablecoin USDT0 to a unified liquidity network that spans more than twenty‑five blockchain ecosystems. This connection means that holders of XPL and USDT0 can now move, swap and settle these assets with many others across multiple chains with greater ease and depth of liquidity than before.
At the core of this update is the integration with the NEAR Intents protocol, which provides a chain‑abstracted liquidity layer that brings together over one hundred and twenty‑five digital assets into a shared pool across many networks. Users can now interact with this single liquidity source instead of managing separate pools on each individual chain.
This change was announced on January 23 and it expands how stablecoins and Plasma tokens can flow between ecosystems. Through NEAR Intents, a user can request a swap or transfer of USDT0 or XPL from one chain and have the action carried out automatically across the sequence of networks involved. The system reads the user’s intent and executes the movement in a way that abstracts away the complexity of cross‑chain bridges and manual steps.
By linking into this unified liquidity network, Plasma broadens its reach beyond standalone activity. Liquidity depth is a key factor in how quickly and cheaply assets can be exchanged and settled. Being part of a larger shared pool helps reduce fragmentation and inefficiencies that are common when liquidity is split across many isolated markets.
The inclusion of both XPL and USDT0 into this infrastructure also aligns with Plasma’s focus on stablecoin payments and settlements. USDT0, as a native zero‑fee stablecoin, benefits from easier access to liquidity pathways that span many chains. Meanwhile XPL’s utility as both a gas token and a medium of exchange is enhanced by the broader network integration.
In simple terms this update helps Plasma users move their tokens more smoothly across a wide range of blockchain networks and interact with a larger pool of available assets. It reduces the need for manual bridging and separate liquidity management while improving how transfers and swaps are handled across the ecosystem.
