Plasma in the world of digital currencies (crypto)

In this context, Plasma is a solution for scaling blockchain networks, and it is not a currency in itself.

Plasma is considered a framework or "Layer 2" solution built on a main blockchain such as Ethereum. Think of it as a tree of side chains branching off from the main chain.

· Goal: To reduce the burden on the main chain by processing most transactions on these side chains. This leads to:

· Higher transaction speeds.

· Lower transaction costs.

· Greater scalability for the network as a whole.

· How does it work?

1. A side chain (Plasma chain) is created linked to the main chain.

2. Most transactions are conducted within this side chain quickly and at minimal cost.

3. The results of these transactions are "aggregated" and periodically committed to the main chain to ensure security and decentralization.
