we have been waiting for "mass adoption" for ten years but the reality is that nobody wants to pay gas fees to buy a coffee current blockchains are trying to be everything at once defi nfts gaming and this congestion makes them terrible for actual payments @undefined is solving this by doing one thing perfectly stablecoin settlements
unlike other layer 1s that are fighting for tvl plasma is built specifically for usdt and usdc liquidity it offers zero gas fees for stablecoin transfers which is the holy grail for merchants and everyday users imagine sending money globally as easily as sending a whatsapp message that is the plasma vision
but here is the alpha that most people miss plasma is anchored to bitcoin for security while remaining fully compatible with the evm this means developers can build dapps using standard ethereum tools but the network inherits the finality and security of the bitcoin network it is the best of both worlds
the payment narrative is going to be massive in 2026 as stablecoin regulations clarify and plasma is the only chain positioned to capture this volume specifically $XPL is not just a gas token it is the governance and security layer for the future of digital money do not fade the infrastructure that powers the real world economy
