#Plasma
Plasma is a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for global stable coin payments, featuring zero-fee USDT transfers and EVM compatibility to enable permissionless access to financial services worldwide.
Zero-fee USDT transfers eliminate the need for users to hold native tokens for gas when sending stable coins.
PlasmaBFT consensus protocol delivers sub-second finality and high throughput optimized for payment focused applications.
Native Bitcoin bridge enables trust-minimized BTC integration, allowing Bitcoin to be used within smart contracts.
Plasma addresses the inefficiencies of existing blockchain networks in handling stable coin transactions. Traditional block chains were designed before stable coins gained significant traction, resulting in high transaction fees, slow settlement times, and lack of specialized features for digital dollar transfers.
With stable coins representing over $225 billion in supply and trillions of dollars in monthly transfers, Plasma provides purpose built infrastructure that eliminates friction in stable coin payments. The network launched its mainnet beta with $2 billion in liquidity on day one, rapidly scaling to over $5.5 billion in total value locked within its first week, demonstrating strong market demand for dedicated stable coin infrastructure
