Plasma: The Path Towards Fee-Free Stablecoins and Integration with Bitcoin
In the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology, the inherent friction of fees and the lack of interoperability have been persistent obstacles, especially for stablecoin users. The complexity of acquiring a native gas token and the segregation of liquidity across networks have limited the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi).
The Sub-Second Efficiency of the New Mainnet
In this context, the Plasma codebase has made significant progress with the launch of its Beta on the Mainnet on September 25, 2025. This activation not only brought full compatibility with EVM but also relied on Reth, a modular execution layer of Ethereum. This translates to a drastic reduction in the barriers for developers to deploy their existing smart contracts without the need to modify them, accelerating the growth of the ecosystem.
