Farewell to the era of 'parameter involution': Plasma (XPL) bets on the 'complete invisibility' of Web3 infrastructure
To say something unpleasant, after so many years of the public chain war, besides creating a bunch of TPS that are inflated but empty 'ghost towns', the most core pain point remains unresolved: user experience is still terrible.
The reason Plasma (XPL) was able to secure massive funding at this point in time is precisely because it has stepped out of the low-dimensional competition of 'I want to create a faster chain' and instead aims to tackle 'how to make users feel the chain's existence is negligible'. Through Chain Abstraction technology, it encapsulates the complex hash values, Gas fees, and mnemonic phrases in the background, for front-end users—especially those newcomers who enter through Plasma One—they see only a user-friendly digital banking app, not a hardcore crypto wallet.
This 'decryption' approach is the only solution for Web3 to reach a billion users. While other public chains are still showing off technical parameters, Plasma is trying to make blockchain as essential as the TCP/IP protocol—crucial, but no one needs to know how it works as 'invisible infrastructure'. If you believe 2026 is the year of explosive consumer-grade Crypto applications, then this infrastructure dedicated to eliminating friction is the shovel most worth investing in.
