#plasma $XPL Plasma: A Grand Blueprint and Evolution Path for Ethereum Scaling In the world of blockchain, an eternal dilemma is the "impossible triangle"—the challenge of achieving scalability, decentralization, and security simultaneously. As a pioneer of smart contracts and decentralized applications, Ethereum has long been troubled by insufficient scalability. Network congestion and high gas fees have become shackles for its further development. Against this backdrop, Plasma emerged as one of the most notable Layer 2 scaling solutions in the Ethereum community, resembling a grand blueprint that outlines the vision of moving computation off the main chain to achieve infinite scalability. 1. What is Plasma? Core Idea Analysis Plasma was jointly proposed in 2017 by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Lightning Network creator Joseph Poon. Its core idea can be summarized as: creating a series of "child chains" (or "sub-blockchains") on top of the Ethereum main chain (Layer 1), where these child chains have independent ledgers and consensus mechanisms, periodically submitting state commitments or state roots back to the main chain to enable batch processing of transactions. @Plasma @CoinTag
