2026-1-23 I most hope Plasma will prioritize completing the 5 "user experience" details
When discussing payment chains, many people only consider "speed and cost," but what truly determines whether users stay often boils down to seemingly insignificant experience details. I most hope Plasma (and its related entry products) will prioritize completing the following 5 points: First, a clear onboarding guide—when making a transfer for the first time, inform users "which network you are on, what you are doing, and what will happen next," to reduce confusion. Second, failure feedback should be in plain language—failure is not the issue; the issue is that users don’t know why it failed or how to remedy it; clearly outline the reasons for errors and steps to resolve them, and retention will improve immediately.
Third, a default prompt for small amount tests—many losses stem from making large transactions right away; from a product perspective, there should be a strong prompt to "try a small amount first." Fourth, authorization management should be more user-friendly—after users finish using the bridge/DEX, can they view and revoke unnecessary authorizations with one click? This can significantly reduce the risk of future theft. Fifth, the visualization of transaction status—payment scenarios dread the question "Did my transfer succeed?" If we can make statuses like “Submitted/Pending Confirmation/Completed/Trackable Link” intuitive, users will feel more secure and be more willing to reuse the service.
These details may not be flashy, but they determine whether stablecoins can transition from being used by "people who know how to use them" to being usable by "ordinary people." I will continue to observe Plasma's progress, looking not only at the launch of features but also at whether these experience details are becoming smoother, more stable, and more like Web2.
