When people were still discussing the payment attributes of Plas , it had quietly completed a key transformation in the DeFi ecosystem. The latest on-chain data shows that the locked value of DeFi protocols on the Plas network has increased by 800% in three months, and behind this number lies a story that most people overlook.
The migration path of liquidity is worth exploring. Observing the flow of funds reveals an interesting phenomenon: over 60% of the funds flowing into the Plas DeFi protocol have experienced the path of "Ethereum → cross-chain bridge → Plas. These funds are not chasing high returns but are seeking more efficient habitats. Data from a certain market maker shows that they execute the same scale of market-making strategy on Plas at a cost of only 3% of the Ethereum mainnet, which means the same amount of capital can create 30 times the liquidity depth.
More critically, there is a change in user behavior. In traditional DeFi, users are accustomed to paying tens of dollars in fees for a single transaction, which directly limits transaction frequency and strategy flexibility. However, on Plas@undefined , the near-zero transaction fees have completely changed the game rules. Data shows that the average transaction frequency of DeFi users on Plas@undefined is 17 times that of users on other networks, and this high-frequency interaction is giving rise to entirely new financial strategies.
The gains at the technical level are even more invisible. The most precious asset gained in the Plas@undefined DeFi ecosystem is the smart contract templates that have been validated through practical combat. Due to the extremely low fees, development teams can iterate and test contracts without pressure. A DeFi protocol that migrated from Ethereum revealed that they completed 200 contract upgrade tests on Plas@undefined , with total costs less than deploying a single formal contract on Ethereum.
The data from real use cases is the most convincing. A lending protocol's operational data on Plas@undefined shows that due to its extremely low transaction costs, they can launch a "micro-lending product charged by the hour." Such products could not be realized in traditional DeFi due to high fees, but now they have become the most popular business line. More importantly, the users of these micro-lending products are precisely the core user group of the Plas@undefined network.
Ecosystem synergies are beginning to emerge. Payment networks bring real users to DeFi, and DeFi provides value accumulation for payment networks. Data shows that users utilizing DeFi services on the Plas@undefined network have a payment frequency 3.2 times that of ordinary users. This bidirectional empowerment is constructing a complete financial ecosystem closed loop.
From a more macro perspective, what is gained from Plas@undefined DeFi is not just funds and users, but more importantly, a market-validated business model and product logic. While other payment networks are still pondering how to acquire customers, Plas@undefined has found the most valuable user group and the most suitable development path through DeFi.
This deep integration brings not only data growth but also a qualitative change in the entire ecosystem. When payments meet DeFi, and high-frequency trading encounters zero fees, a new financial paradigm is quietly emerging at this intersection.
