Plasma is an example of how a level 1 blockchain can be created not "for hype", but for real use. The project focuses on fast calculations in stablecoins, instant transaction finalization, and full EVM compatibility, which opens doors for existing dApps without complicated migration.
The approach of Plasma to payments looks particularly interesting: minimal delays, optimization of fees, and a focus on mass adoption. This is an important step towards a real Web3, where blockchain becomes infrastructure rather than a barrier.
I see great potential in $XPL as a fundamental token of the ecosystem that emphasizes practicality, scalability, and user experience. I will closely monitor the development of Plasma — such solutions shape the future of on-chain payments.
