@Plasma High up in the stack, plasma runs as a fast blockchain made for growing decentralized finance. Where XPL comes into play, it acts as the core currency tied to safety, access, and decision rights across regions.
Inside Plasma, economic operations rely fundamentally on XPL. Transaction costs get covered using this token, while network security grows stronger through staking by validators. Participation in decision making comes from ownership, as token holders vote directly on proposed changes. Rewards flow to those who support the system - validators maintaining uptime, builders creating tools, and providers supplying assets. Long term health of the network depends on balanced incentives that encourage steady involvement across all roles.
With XPL at its core - handling costs, safety, and decision-making - Plasma strengthens decentralized control. Incentives shift into alignment because of how value flows through the network. A balanced economic model emerges over time due to built-in feedback loops. Participants gain - not just users, but those creating apps and securing transactions too. Benefits spread quietly across every layer without central oversight.
