In crypto, stablecoins dominate volume yet most chains force users through volatile native gas swapping, estimating fees, praying for no spikes. Plasma bets on stablecoin native gas to kill that friction: pay fees directly in USDT/USDC via protocol sponsored paymasters and custom gas tokens. No more token juggling; transfers feel like normal money apps.
Mainnet beta shows discipline: ~150M txns, ~4.2 TPS, 1s blocks on Plasmascan. XPL ~$0.08 funds ops/security with clear tokenomics. Deep launch liquidity + partners deliver instant utility, not promises.
Risks remain paymaster centralization early, load test endurance but if speed holds and stables stay liquid, this becomes invisible daily rails.
My read: Plasma solves onboarding pain with quiet focus. Utility over slogans.
